nerve damage??

Posted by alexandra_k on July 9, 2021, at 0:20:48

so i definately need to work on my breathing...
many years of shallow breathing because of the cold.
and then many years of smoking.
and then loss of elastic fibre when you get past your 20s or whatever.

the lungs get more compliant. so they will fill up a lot. and i think there is a neuromuscular coordination aspect to getting as much air out of them as you can with a deep exhale. to contract your muscles so the air is pushed out of the lungs with open airways. as opposed to contraction that results in closing off the airways so the air in the lungs can't be expired properly (more of an asthmatic thing with the muscle fibres in the tubes). really pushing the air out starting from the lungs and working up.... from the smaller muscles in the smaller airways... and so on...

then breathing in like through a straw so the muscles are contracting to really draw the air in and the air is directed down into the lungs which will push against and help compress the spine...

i get tiny little glimmer of 'yes!! yes!! i nearly sort of did somethig a little like'

it is like olympic lifting. to start with. i was having trouble forming the intention. i was having trouble forming a conception of what i was aiming to do...

___

i feel like i need to stretch.... or be pulled... but then sometimes (in yoga) i have felt like i have injured myself a little pulling my joints apart in a way that wasn't good.

today i was doing some poses... from the ground up. which was cool. usually (normally, quite often) the yoga flow starts from standing and then moves to seated and lying... but we did some lying and seated stuff and then worked on standing... anyway... i could get into a forward fold (from hip flexion rather than hyper-mobile lumbar spine + tight chest and shoulders) much better getting into it from wiggling feet forward from down-dog or lunge.

triangle causes me all kinds of problems. i feel... i simply am not long enough to get into that posture. foam rolling my adductors helps a lot... a lot... if my feet are facing forwards. but if i turn one foot then i feel like there isn't enough room...

anyway... today i really felt that it was an issue of... neural flossing. because of my lumbar spine compression injury. i think.... i did do some nerve damage in my lumbar spine. and it's nerve restriction. i have trouble with that place, too... trying to roll on my back... using my abs to help push the erector muscles into the floor... there is a region where i can't get the erector muscles to create a nice round cushion to roll on. there's a sort of area of... paralaysis. or numbness. or.. blindness. a sort of a blind spot. yeah.

anyway... working up into triangle from a forwards sort of lunge.. i really found an a-symmetry. i could do it in one direction quite well. but then doing the other side... my body started to do this brain f*rt thing it does... where i am (very genuinely) like 'i can't quite see what you are up to... is this the same side i did before or the other side tee hee... which side am i doing...??)

(my weak side plays dumb and honestly and truly fools me into not working it.... like how your frontal lobes truly won't be able to count your working reps when squats get hard they simply do start telling you fibs... and you can't even count to 5....)

and when pushed... there was a lot of restriction. and the just gently trying... it definately felt like a nerve thing... like itching just the right place... and a nerve thing, yeah.. hmm.

that's really good. to discover something quite major like that. a major very very noticable a-symmetry.

it's good to discover things like that. because it is new you don't have diminishing return progress when you work that issue. you get to have beginners gains. yay.

it feels very weird.

i think... i think... i it feels very weird because of the weird thing that there is in the lumbar region of the spine where you have... oh... sigh... what is it... there are sensory nerves and motor nerves. and the motor nerves cross over but the sensory nerves don't... and it creates a very strange feeling about the location of the problem... and it also is weird because of a deferred aspect to it...

for example... how much of the issues of my foot mobility... movement restriction etc etc etc... are coming from the spinal cord vs the periphery.

it is a very strange feeling that is hard to describe or pinpoint or localise...

it is cool to learn about things... and try and figure out what is going on... to conceptualise it. to...

reflect on the phenomenology, even... and try and figure out what is going on from a sort of identity theory / representation point of view...

it was one of the things that got me interested in embodied consciousness and about the experience of the body and so on... understanding just how much intelligence was contained... in teh skin. the sensory nerves there and the spinal cord etc...

there is a cognitive... is it a parasthesia? i forget. hemi-neglect. that was what i was thinking of. some patients get hemi-neglect. it is like their brain refuses to acknowledge information coming in from one side. or...

you ask them to draw a clock and they draw half of it only.

that was the classic case.

i don't know about that...

but trying triangle with that leg forward rotating in that direction felt like someone had turned the piece of paper over and said 'and that side?? what about that one??'

hur.

When I was at Weltec...

Which is under-rated, actually...

(Just sayin)

One of the instructors / tutors / lecturers... Who I learned about when I was in Australia... And who was part of why I felt it was okay for me to move to Wellington...

Anyway...

He really knew quite a lot about various things...

One of the things he was saying about was feet... There was a pebble box. With pebbles in it. You wiggle your toes and stand and stomp-ish and walk... On the pebbles.

And it is a neural thing. Because there are a lot of nerves (also a lot of muscles) in your feet.

And you don't think about the role that they play in the foundations... For weightlifting and powerlifting and everything...

But that really got me thinking. Particularly about how great our athletes (NZ trained athletes) are in so many respects. And about the role of the mild climate and no shoes in that. Kids running and playing rugby on the grass.

Yeah. Barefoot training.

___

Also... He said... About 'tensegrity'.

And that is something... Just a vague concept or notion that I have, now, about that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity

Thinking about it as applied to the body..

Where there are tension lines.. Of collagen. Steel.
And compression. Of hydroxyapatite. Or lead. Or strontrium.

Anatomy trains (search word for the day)

https://www.hfe.co.uk/blog/tom-myers-anatomy-trains/

I don't know...

But how anatomy isn't there yet. Atomistic. Not functional.

I wanted to contribute to that.

So of course I get to... Lie flat.

Until the nuclear fallout clears. I suppose.

BTW: Where is my Degree??? no... where is my degree, really???

it probably wasn't very clear...

what it is that they found.

when they applied solvent to the body the nerve tissue dissolved because it is most delicate. the muscle dissolved as well.

they found these...

well...

i'm imagining a mesh bag. but that's not it.

they found... bones. suspended in connective tissue. they found... bags of connective tissue. a suspension system of fascia linking the bones.

i don't see how you would photograph that to convey what i'm saying...

the best sense of it is in seeing the live surgery where you pull on one bit and see how that moves the fascia as a... field.

but we like for the youngest and stupidest and most compliant to get the 'opportunities' for learning. so they get to poke at the women who have been anesthetised for unrelated procedures.

so we don't get to contribute to the forefront of knowledge in the world, at all.

(that was 2018).

the world has moved on.

and new zealand... yawn. first wave of covid this year? or maybe next?
