I look into the 3rd chakra and the nervous system.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Due to the nature of contagion of this virus and agreement with the Kentucky Government, We have decided to close for the next 3 weeks at a minimum.

We apologize for any inconvenience or trouble this may cause. We are all in this together and are all doing our part to keep our community safe and healthy. This is part of that action.

This decision creates a lot of financial hardship for the small business owner. We do not get unemployment, sick leave, paid vacation time nor other social netting that will help many through this hard time.

I would ask that if you have enjoyed the services of a local business please continue to support them by buying gift certificates.

If you would like to support Full Circle please feel free to buy a gift certificate. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Warm Regards,

A great way to visualize fascia.

Great way to show how fascia can relate to muscle.⁣
⁣
The fascia that surrounds and penetrates the muscular system is called the 'deep fascia'. This type of fascia is very strong but also has elastic properties.⁣
⁣
Although fascia is slower to change in comparison to muscle, you're still training your fascia when you train your muscles. In fact you're never not 'training' your myofascial system!⁣
⁣
It has been discussed recently that fascia might have the ability to contract as the fascia contains myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts contain the proteins that allow smooth muscle to contract.⁣

Along with the other rotator cuff muscles, the Infraspinatus is responsible for keeping the head of the humerus in it's socket and despite being located behind the shoulder on the scapula, the infraspinatus trigger points actually cause pain in the front the shoulder, deep in the joint, down the arm as well as up towards the upper back and neck. You may also feel weakness and stiffness in the shoulder.

This is a Soft Tissue Release for the Infraspinatus...

Give yourself a little hug by wrapping your arms around you. Where your fingers lie on the shoulder blade is more than likely going to be the correct area (The infraspinatus). Dig your fingers in a little and have a feel around. If there is an issue with this muscle then you will probably feel it.

Then using a tennis ball or trigger point ball, place on the spot that you found and back away into a wall so that you can put more pressure on. When resting on an uncomfortable area, take 3-5 deep breaths. Find a couple of different spots of discomfort and repeat .

You may also notice referred pain in the front of the shoulder which is not uncommon in this muscle. Complete 1-2 times a day especially before activity and after periods of inactivity.

The piriformis is a deep pelvic muscle. It's an important stabiliser for the sacroiliac joint and can produce movements at the hip joint (external rotation, abduction and a bit of extension). It can even reverse it's role past 45 degrees of hip flexion to internally rotate the hip! 🤓

Although the piriformis has all these functions, it has one function that it might do even more than the others. During the pronation phase of gait, the hip joint moves into hip extension. During this phase the femur will move into a little bit of internal rotation (automatic rotation). It's at this phase of the walking cycle that the piriformis will eccentrically load to decelerate the internal rotation of the femur. This helps maintain control of the pelvis and legs during gait but also help protect the passive structure around the hip joint such as the accetabular labrum from being overly compressed by the femoral head.🚶

If the piriformis is 'tight' then this function may be compromised. Assessing an individual's pelvic mechanics in gait can help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury at the hip joint 💯
