Myofascial Integration

Myofascia and Tai Chi

The following link is to a YouTube video called, "Strolling Under the Skin"

The video presents concepts of the organization of myofascia and the role that myofascia plays in movement and communication throughout the myofascial sheath and thus throughout the body, almost simultaneously.

A dynamic multi-microvacular collegenic absorbing system exist throughout the body.  Its fractal like structure of vacuoles allows for independent movement of tendons, ligaments and fascia to slide, bend or twist without distortion.  Tensegrity operates throughout this system such that any force applied to it is felt throughout the system.

The skin is an organ for communication as much as for protection.

In taijiquan form practice we have the saying, "when one things moves, everything moves."  This can be taken as simply a biomechanics principle about how movement during taijiquan practice is connected in the upper and lower body,
or
energetically in the principle of Balancing Inner and Outer energy,
or
at the deepest level where all biomechanics, biochemical, neurophysiologic systems are connected.  The is as close of a definition of Body Mind Centering as I can currently conceive.
