Hi Friends,

What's the connection between awesomeness, skinny jeans and muscles? They're all tight. Or... can be.

Here's what else is tight:

Golgi tendon organs: Tension receptors in tendons that send signals to the brain about the amount of force being applied and produced by muscle contractions. This helps the brain fine-tune the force to prevent it from becoming excessive.

Muscle spindles: Stretch receptors are located along the length of muscle fibers and detect changes in muscle length and the speed of stretch. They are part of the proprioception system, providing the brain with information about position and movement. Activation of these spindles triggers motor contractions to overcome resistance.

Muscle imbalance: an alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint.

Fascia that is sticky and condensed. Or, wait... is it fascia that was unhealthy and now gaining fascial tensegrity?

Can you tell the difference of one versus the other? Tight is your body's love letters in invisible ink.

Instead, investigate with a sense of curiosity and wonder the reality of your structure. It is organized differently or moving in a different way? Is your valve system pumping faster or differently than usual? Has your walking pattern changed? Or, just call it interesting and move on with your moment.
