Get Out of the Way!
Entrainment and the Intelligence of Fascia
(Pt. III of III)
DEPTH
This is why depth doesn’t always look like “deep tissue.” Depth shows up as clarity. As an extremely precise method of non-interference.
As the kind of sustained presence where the hands aren’t trying to fix anything but are also not passive.
There’s a quiet alertness to it — a sense that you’re participating in an unfolding process rather than directing a problem out the proverbial door.
And the irony is that often the more advanced this work becomes, the less you may appear to be doing.
Sometimes a barely perceptible shift in angle, or a few grams of pressure, intelligently employed, an entire pattern downstream. The client may describe it as profound. Meanwhile, your internal experience might feel like you’re simply following gravity.
When that happens, fascia doesn’t just “let go.” It reorients. It recalibrates around a clearer signal. And the session stops being a treatment and becomes more of a remembering — the body returning to its own architecture once the external interference quiets down.
This is the craft here: dissolving the layers of effort and performance so you can inhabit the moment fully enough that the other person has permission to inhabit themselves.
Everything else is technique.
