I CAN’T BALANCE THE Y-BALANCE! MY ARABESQUE IS NOT COOL! I CAN’T LIFT MY LEGS!
IT WOULD BE NATURAL TO WEAR YOROI.
“I’ve been in ballet for three years, but I still can’t open my legs.”
“I stretch for 30 minutes every lesson, but I don’t feel like a teacher at all.”
This article is for those who are not good at stretching.
How many years can you do even if you don’t get results in 3 years? Would you like to continue the same way as before?
Have you given up because you have a constitution?
Or if you’re an insightful person, you may have noticed that you’re doing it wrong.
You’ve heard many times that you have to take your time to soften it.
It’s not a lie, but it’s not 100% correct.
It will be a useful article for those who are serious about improving flexibility.
However, please note that there is nothing to be gained by those who end up saying “I can’t do it because my body is stiff anyway”.
Named “Sat” open legs. If you feel like it, you can do something like this.
THE REASON WHY THE BODY IS STIFF IS THE FASCIA, AND THE FASCIA IS RELEASED FOR EFFECTIVE STRETCHING!
The term “fascial release” has become quite widespread in the last decade or so. Fascia (in English, “fascia” is called myofascia) Some people call it stretch.
However, fascia release is often introduced in the context of improving stiff shoulders and back pain for the elderly, and you didn’t think it had a big relationship with your stretching.
Imagine the fascia as a bodysuit that covers your entire body. It is the fascia that has such an important role that it is called the “second skeleton.”
Now, this fascia is composed of collagen fibers and elastin fibers, which are like a mesh, and are composed of multiple layers.
It’s easy to understand if you imagine it as a piece of gauze made up of thin meshes.
And the fascia keeps sitting, looking at the smartphone, walking with a bag on the shoulder, and becoming more and more distorted in everyday life. If the distortion is left unattended, the fascia will stick and become stagnant .
As it progresses further, the area of the fixed part increases. Bodysuits that were easy to move will eventually harden like Yoroi, restricting the movement of the whole body.
Yoroi is Japanese word means Armour.
Yes, you lived in Yoroi, wore a leotard while wearing Yoroi, stretched while wearing Yoroi, and danced while wearing Yoroi.
- The whole body is covered with fascia
- The fascia becomes more and more distorted and becomes stagnant
- It sticks further and hardens
- And it becomes like Yoroi
LET’S LOOSEN THE FASCIA WITH FASCIA RELEASE FASCIA RELEASE RETURNS YOUR ORIGINAL FLEXIBILITY JUST BY TAKING OFF THE YOROI
The basis of fascia release is “stretching”. It is effective to move a lot while pressing the part where you feel stiffness and tension.
It takes time for collagen, which is the main component of fascia, to loosen, so I would like to do it for 90 seconds to 3 minutes per place. It absolutely takes time to loosen the fascia to the deep layers.
It should be noted that the fascia is like a shape memory suit, and even if it temporarily softens, it will return immediately.
It takes about 50% to return in 30 minutes, and it is completely restored in 24 hours. Therefore, continuation is the most important thing. If possible, do it several times a day.
Even if you pull the rubber band for a long time, it will be restored immediately, but it is the same as if the rubber band itself loosens and becomes fluffy without applying force as you pull it over and over again.
After release, it is recommended to drink a glass of water to wash away harmful substances in the tissue.
I referred to “I can do it myself! Fascia Release Perfect Guide” by Dr. Hitoshi Takei, also known as Dr. Fascia.
By releasing the fascia, the strain of the fascia is restored, and the sticking of the fascia that restricted the movement of the body is eliminated as if taking off the yoroi, and the muscles, fascia, and joints have the original range of motion. To recover.
The stretches you’ve heard many times over time, slowly and without recoil, are aimed at increasing and stretching the inner muscle fibers of Yoroi.
It’s a good idea in itself. However, the original range of motion of muscle fibers cannot be utilized while wearing Yoroi.
Yes, the fascia release is the first step to take off the yoroi and make it easier to move.
- Push it out, basically
- Continuous repetition is important
- It won’t start unless you take off Yoroi
LOOSEN THE WHOLE BODY
The fascia is stretched throughout the body, and some strain affects the whole body.
I would like you to experience this point.
Stand up and bend forward to remember your pre-exercise sensations. How far can your fingertips reach? Where do you feel stuck?
In most cases, you will feel that your hips, buttocks, and the back of your thighs are stretched or caught.
However!
What we do here is a foot massage. You can use your hands, grind with a fist, or use green bamboo. If you have a golf ball, it is easy and recommended to step on it strongly and roll it. Massage evenly from the heel to the toes and to the outside and inside of the sole (around the arch). The time can be from 30 seconds to 1 minute. This allows you to loosen the fascia on the sole of the foot.
If you try to bend forward while standing again, you will feel that you are more likely to fall. If you don’t exercise normally, you will be surprised even for about 30 seconds.
It is mainly from the back side of the thighs to the soles of the feet to the buttocks and hips that stretches when standing forward, so it can be seen that loosening the soles makes it easier to stretch these parts. This can be explained by the loosening of the fascia on the soles of the feet, which made the movement of the fascia around the buttocks, hips, and thighs smoother.
- Loosen the whole body as some distortion affects the whole body
- The effect of fascia release only in the painful area is halved.
EFFECT OF FASCIA RELEASE YOU CAN EXPECT EFFECTS OTHER THAN STRETCHING BY IMPROVING BLOOD CIRCULATION.
Fascia release is not a strenuous exercise, and depending on your ingenuity, you can work on it while watching TV or doing household chores. As you can see, even if you are exercising, you can loosen the fascia in about 5 minutes, and when you loosen it, you will feel that your body becomes warmer and the blood circulation in your whole body improves. You can expect a nice effect when blood circulation improves.
As the metabolism improves, you will become leaner and activate the metabolism of the skin, so you can expect a beautiful skin effect .
By improving blood flow at the ends of the limbs, it is possible to prevent and improve poor circulation and hypothermia .
Waste products will be discharged smoothly, which will help eliminate swelling , and flushing away fatigue substances will make your body less tired .
Since the toxins accumulated in the blood vessels are discharged, it contributes to the improvement of immunity . It can be said that it is effective in preventing lifestyle-related diseases.
