Get Out of the Way!
Entrainment and the Intelligence of Fascia
(Pt. I of III)

There’s a point in certain sessions where technique stops being something you perform and becomes something you listen to.
It’s subtle.
If you’re thinking, you miss it.
If you’re trying, you override it.
But when you drop underneath the noise of the mind — the slow, almost subterranean place in the body where sensation arises before language — something shifts.

The work stops being “your work,” and the system in front of you begins to reorganize along its own internal lines.

Often, we picture manual therapy as something mechanical: pressure, direction, an intervention imposed onto tissue.
But when the body is operating under stress, it holds itself together with a kind of micro-bracing that doesn’t respond to force.
 You can dig, you can strip, you can chase a knot around like it’s prey — and nothing really changes.
Yet when the pace drops, when the therapist’s nervous system stops broadcasting urgency, the fascia has room to do what it does naturally:
reorient.
