The Myofascial System in Form and Movement – Chapter 11 – Training, weight work and sports specifics
The field of myofascial science is changing rapidly. In The Myofascial System in Form and Movement, Lauri Nemetz invites readers into the rich dialogue around movement, delving into anatomy, concepts of space, and the many other disciplines that are taking interest in the myofascial universe. Nemetz uses insights from our spatial relationship with the world…
Integrating mental imagery and fascial tissue: A conceptualization for research into movement and cognition
Mental imagery (MI) research has mainly focused to date on mechanisms of effect and performance gainsassociated with muscle and neural tissues. MI’s potential to affect fascia has rarely been considered. This paper conceptualizes ways in which MI might mutually interact with fascial tissue to support performance and cognitive functions. Such ways acknowledge, among others, MI’s…
The Emerging Science of Interoception:
Sensing, Integrating, Interpreting, and
Regulating Signals within the Self
Interoception refers to the representation of the internal states of an organism, and includes the processes by which it senses, interprets, integrates, and regulates signals from within itself. This review presents a unified research framework and attempts to offer definitions for key terms to describe the processes involved in interoception. We elaborate on these definitions…
Interoception and Emotion
Influential theories suggest emotional feeling states arise from physiological changes from within the body. Interoception describes the afferent signalling, central processing, and neural and mental representation of internal bodily signals. Recent progress is made in conceptualizing interoception and itsneural underpinnings. These developments are supported by empirical data concerning interoceptive mechanisms and their contribution to emotion….
Interoception: Some Suggestions for Manual and Movement Therapies
The discovery of interoceptive receptors in human skin The established view is that touch is mediated by large diameter, fast-conducting peripheral nerves and there are areas in the body that are more densely innervated and more cortically represented such as the finger tips and the lips. However recent findings showed that there is another purpose…
