  • As you are reading the article, stand up and sit down twice - get a feel for how it feels.
  • Now using index and middle finger of both hands, rub about 2 cm either side of the navel for 20 seconds, and then the back of the neck - at the base of the skull, for 10 seconds.  Now do the sit to stand again.
  • What happens is we shoot up the second time as we have released a defensive pattern that limits movement. The improvement also indicates that the body is locked in a defensive pattern and is therefore not functioning at the highest level.
  • The points that you have just rubbed correlate with releasing the psoas, glut and hamstring complex. When each muscle now fires correctly the defensive inhibition patterns can be over ridden, and each muscle performs its part of the movement correctly.
  • The body is no longer fighting itself to perform the movement.
