Connective Tissues
Connective tissue education:
stress and toxic lifestyle choices cause us to "tighten up" quite literally. the suffering is insidious until we find ourselves in a state of chronic tension and painful misery, looking for a quick fix to a long time coming problem.

connective tissue is the very "glue" that holds our physical bodies together. It is found all throughout... skin, joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and even inside our organs.
- Collagen, protein and B vitamins
- water + electrolytes
- Intracellular Matrix (ICM) + Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
Connective tissue terms to know:
Fascia:
It is said that, "Fascia is the organ of intuition" (organisms with one cell study).... if you run with this idea, it would make sense that those with connective tissue dysfunction or abnormalities would be prone to having greater sensitivity + emotional activity
Interstitium:
Collagen: protein
Lymph: moves+filters toxins (fluoride hardens, stagnation, high sugar/fat/acid diet, moved by breath as pump, energy levels, white ama, when overburdened or blocked pathways comes out the skin, dry brushing stimulates flow and beautifies the skin)
conditions involving connective tissue dysfunction: POTS, PTSD, Interstitial Cystitis (I.C.), Lupus, MCTD, Hypermobility - JHS, hEDS, EDS, RCCX, FM,
- *genetic mutation +/or trauma
- *pre birth experience roles + dosha
- CIPRO + all other Flouroquinolone antibiotics = no no! BECAUSE _____
- posture issues and their effects (CCI, TOS,
- hyper mobility is fixed by retraining cellular memory in the connective tissue cells + the electrical nervous system pathways via releasing and strengthening the fascia/interstitum. VTYB offers deep cellular reset
Hypermobility/hEDS, RCCX, collagen, fascia & connective tissues
-
when the body structure is compromised, as is often seen in those with sedentary jobs, RCCX collagen mutations which is the building block of all your connective tissues (fascia, skin, ligaments, tendons, joints. connective tissues hold everything from bones to organs in place. if structure is compromised AND energy flow is impaired in any of the channels there will be dysfunction afoot. in enough time this leads to congested lymph, build up of emotional molecules having to be processed by the liver who cannot keep up with the load, which leads to chronic autoimmune and pain conditions like CFS/ME/FM. a spiritual awakening is KEY! lack of self care like nutrition and exercise weaken the body. movement like yoga, pilates, atlas orthogonal, craniosacral, and vedic thai yoga bodywork massage all help to strengthen, open, and restore proper functioning of the organism and its energetic field.
-
RCCX collagen mutation can come on from birth, virus, trauma, nutrient deficient
-
often issues with the shoulder area lifting arm above head major arteries and channels getting blocked due to compromised structure. ex: thoracic outlet syndrome…
-
will often see bladder, skin, and reproductive issues. anywhere a mouse can go, well anywhere a collagen cell aka everywhere!! remember they are inside organs as well as doing things like holding them in place
-
Collagen killers by dr. axe: poor sleep, excess sugar consumption, sun overexposure, sitting all day + lack of activity, injuries + joint degeneration, high cortisol from emotional stress (burnout), diet low in antioxidants, bad gut health (hello alcohol+gluten!), nutrient shortfalls of vit. C + Zinc
-
limbic retraining, collagen cells memory is skewed

Bodywork, emotional detoxing/reset, and "de-armoring" connective tissues
e-motions are energy in motion. they are our energies moving outward of us. they are messengers about how we feel and help us discover ourselves. these emotions which are manifested biologically as chemical and electrical signals must travel through a pathway that moves at great speed. In comes the connective tissue cells. quite literally, it connects us to our environment, and ultimately to ourselves. so what happens when the body’s cells have stored up many negative emotions and energies? what happens when lifestyle does not support our health and happiness? what happens when you have both of these going on for too long? i think you know the answer. its how you got here. deep down, your intuition knows what you need to do. Bodywork and proper lifestyle care of the connective tissues is the missing piece of most modern medicine mysteries and are what lack understanding when identifying symptom clusters. Ive seen this lack of knowledge first hand and that is why i write everything Ive learned to share the “real world” truth experience, not the idea that’s sold to us.
Talk about de armory and the stuck stagnant energy blocks the electrical channel via swollen pockets of displaced fluid (tension)
