Hey PhysioMitch,

Ok.... I have more questions. I am trying to imagine a scenario (ala poke-a-dot-door) and I would like to know the environment we will be working in.

1. Is the patient awake? Asleep?.... Dead? (I know a few people who owe me money...)
2. Young? Middle aged? Old?
3. Mental state over time? (it matters!!!!)
4. History of injuries?
5. Health history?
6. Activity level

See the problem I have is that I cant treat this in vitro. The system is the answer. The relationship is very important. The components are usless... I must be having a stroke.... sentences short..... I.... just needed coffee.

Question 1 dictates all I think.... Unless we are talking injury where thick scar tissue actually causes contracture and muscle girth with the testomorphs (sorry.... weight lifters).

Stretch for me means the ability to extend until an endfeel is reached without the nervous system becoming all mother hen like.

What do you think Fascia is? I mean really? No studies, no text books, no nothing except with your own experience and your own body? Forget other crazy peoples theories for a moment and try to be the creator of the human body and build it from microscopic to macroscopic. Keep in mind everything must have more than one purpose and the body is an ecosystem constantly recycling and feeding from itself. A mini earth so to speak where musles are tectonic plates and blood is magma.... WHOA. Disregard that! Went too far.... Strike the last sentence.
