Fibromyalgia, CFS and MLD: Autonomic Immunity and Connective Tissue: Part 2
Changes in autonomic immune function present as lymphostasis in Fibromyalgia and CFS patients. Targeted Manual Lympatic Drainage techniques can directly increase lymphatic flow, reducing congestion and swelling and so reducing symptomatic experience of muscular pain, stress levels and overall fatigue for these patients. The article carefully examines reflexes, immune function and connective tissue in relation to the lymphatics.
Fibromyalgia, CFS and the Alexander Technique: Part 4. Inhibition and the Four Concepts.
This article examines concepts 3 and 4 of the four concepts of good use. It finishes with an exploration of Alexanders key concept, that of "inhibition" or "pausing before action". I examine the importance of breaking free from the constraints of time and so the very source of tension and stress in modern humanity, and how inhibition alongside the 4 concepts can be used to shortcircuit the onset of Fibromyalgia and CFS symptoms.
Fibromyalgia, CFS, and the Alexander Technique: Part 3. Implementing the Four Concepts.
Alexanders four concepts of good use are essential to the mastery of his Technique. In relation to Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue, the reduction of tension and the incorporation of postural good use into everday life lowers anxiety levels and stress, and reduces the incidence of trigger point flare-ups while also reducing the extremity and longevity of flare-ups once they actually occur. Postural good use also aids more restful sleep.
The Alexander Technique, Fibromyalgia & CFS: Part 2; End Gaining and the Four Concepts of Good Use
Diseases of modern society have reached epidemic proportions. Alexander believed that this was due to the disconnection of Westerners with their "psycho-physical" selves. A definition of"unhappiness". The physical body mirroring the psyche. Alexander went on to propose theories about "end gaining" as ultimately leading to our destruction and he proposed "four concepts of good use" and "release" as key to his technique.
The Alexander Technique, Fibromyalgia, CFS and Musculoskeletal Balance: Part 1
Detailing precisely the connection between the Alexander Technique and how it relates to and can be employed to break the tension/ pain cycle that results in a flare-up of fibromyalgia sufferers symptoms and a worsening of their Chronic Fatigue. There is a correct way and an incorrect way of holding and moving the body, and the conscious mind can be trained to control this subconsiously over a period of time.
