Tissue Temperature

The hypothalamus acts like a thermostat for the body, keeping its body’s temperature at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If a person’s body begins to cool, it will shiver to stimulate blood flow, which will help to increase its temperature. If it becomes too hot, it sweats, pulling salt and water to the skin so evaporation can cool it down. There are many complex communications regulated by the hypothalamus in order to maintain this equilibrium.

When we discuss fascia, we are really talking about cellular alignment. When every cell is properly aligned, there is optimal space in the tissue for cellular communications and exchanges. The cell membrane determines what moves in and out, and at what pace. In perfect alignment, there would be ease of flow; whatever the cell required would be delivered immediately and absorbed through the membrane. Similarly, all cellular waste and toxins would be carried away to be excreted from the body. The flow is driven by the diaphragmatic breath and supported by proper cellular alignment, which requires conscious awareness at all times. In such a body, every cell would be at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sadly, our actual reality is quite different. We are not a population that has been conscious of our bodies. We have allowed our breath to become weak and our foundations to tip off balance. Returning to the bunion example, it really starts with an unconscious response to negative stimuli — contracting the diaphragm to ward off unpleasant energy. This repetitive contraction winds, becomes dense, and torques the core out of alignment, thereby forcing a shifting of the body to maintain its balance. The fascia builds false walls and false floors to create a superficial foundation. This arises out of the migration of cells and the compression that results as they stack and stick together.

This dense, sticky tissue lacks flow. It is cold and dirty. Space is required for flow, so taking it away slows and eventually stops flow. You may notice this when certain areas of your body feel colder than others. I first observed the phenomenon in my abdomen when coming back from a run. I would be hot and sweaty, yet my belly felt cold to the touch. This was a huge frustration as my belly was the one area I wanted most to change. But remember, compression from unconscious breathing, incorrect posture, and unhealthy thinking created the density and coldness, leaving those cells blocked from life.

To regulate cellular temperature, we need space for flow with all communication and exchanges driven by the conscious breath. Once you understand this, it is simple to apply Block Therapy because the temperature of your tissue will tell you what needs attention.

For example, most people have cold feet. The cells of the feet are the furthest from the engine (the diaphragm) and the most compressed as they are positioned at the base of the body. The entire weight of the body over time adds up to create more and more compression.

Consider this other fact — there are 26 bones in the feet.
