We are still in pain because our body’s self-protection system has become over-sensitised, a bit like an over-sensitive fire alarm.
The body goes into lockdown to prevent what it perceives to be further damage.
Connective tissue known as fascia locks, become hard and inflexible.
Fascia has a rich supply of sensory receptors. This is why the pain can feel unbearable and like we are carrying a tonne of weight.
Therapies that aim to soften the fascia and release fascial restrictions, including myofascial release and trigger point therapy can help to restore elasticity in the fascia, calm our over-sensitised state and reduce pain.
These techniques form the foundation of the Jing Method™.
