Fetuses have been observed pandiculating in the womb, showing how deeply ingrained the response is and how critical it is to your musculoskeletal functioning. Unfortunately, as your motor patterns become habitual and you become less active, your natural pandicular response can’t counteract all the learning that occurs in your nervous system. And as you lose sensorimotor awareness and control, your primal pandicular response can become inhibited.

Hanna developed hands-on movements and self-care exercises that use the pandicular response. These “voluntary pandiculations” are highly specialized eccentric contractions—the actions of muscles that are engaged while they lengthen under load. Picture what your biceps are doing as you lower a dumbbell, for example (Illustration 10). The muscles are slowly lengthening, but are still engaged as long as you hold the weight.
