Myofascial Spiral Trains
The concept of Myofascial Spiral Trains is very interesting in light of Structure and Compression work. The Double Helix representation of the motion pathways through the body at the level of fascia can be well and truly felt in stance and forms training. One reason the Internal Martial arts, and QiGong (umm.. and Yoga too for that matter) are trained slowly is to find these pathways of efficient and coordinated movement.
They are found also by gymnasts, weightlifters, soccer players etc. all movement uses these connections. But often these are reflexive, fast twitch, sometimes nearly unconscious movements, trained and honed as bursts of speed by repetition and ever greater force generation, usually concentrated in muscle.
The slow ways of opening them become extremely conscious, deeply felt and ultimately very powerful, as martial arts, as dynamic kinesiology, as tools in physical therapy and rejuvenation.
Worth a look.
