Reflex-response to free patterns


Reflex-response to free and balance neuromuscular movement patterns:

In a session, when a particular muscle area seems to impede or freeze movement, using reflex-response stimulation on the opposing muscle-set awakens a nerve response that de-couples the nervous pattern in the impeded or frozen muscle area.

Both reflex signals cannot be maintained simultaneously -- because the patterned primary response is a paired-muscle action -- one muscle set is stimulated and chronically contracted and the other, is relaxed and allowed to lengthen in rest. Now the reflex-response toning of the muscle set opposite the chronically contracted muscles induces a relaxation of the chronic tension –- sometimes briefly, but perhaps long enough to give a sense of change and possibility that can be re-enforced and made available as a new pattern of freedom and balance in movement in what was chronically dysfunctional muscle tension.
