Congratulations Martyn and his family! Overcoming the shock, pain and trauma is not easy, but you can do it. How -“Just do it!” Ask Martyn who in May 2015 with the help of his friends and great care as he recovered from the spinal cord injury that would stop most.

Happy face addition?

Be real with how you feel with how you feel.

Putting on a happy face may be the worst thing

you can do for your physical and emotional health.

Researchers from the University of Sydney Business School Anya Johnson and Helena Nguyen found “workers who suppress their emotions are taking an extra six to eight days off work a year. They are also more likely to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses.” 1

When we force that smiley face, what we are doing is telling our heart that guides our emotional well being to be quiet-your input does not count. Over time this becomes a habit which can create physical and emotional dis-ease.

Where does the body store these swallowed feelings and behaviors usually in those tissues, fascia and organs your family of origin stored it.

When the body and mind become exhausted this is usually a sign from our heart to take better care of yourself. If left unattended and nurtured, the emotions get more extreme, pain and exhaustion increase, the mind and body get sluggish.

Take time for a breathing break or come visit “Pain Away Island ” for some suggestions on how to unwind the pain and pent up emotions. You do not have to suffer from the “Smiley Face” addiction any more.

Fascia – role in pain relief

Fascia -key to pain relief

Probably the least understood part of the body, fascia are found in fluid bands or sheets of connective tissue fibers, that forms beneath the skin to attach, stabilize, enclose, communicate pain signals and separate muscles and other internal organs.

Made of flexible collagen structures, fascia are capable of resisting great unidirectional tension forces until the wavy pattern of fibers that straighten with a pulling force or becoming more gel like when relaxed. (Fascia are the pink colored fibers seen in the image above.)

Emerging science and client experience suggests that fascia play a very dynamic role in the cycle of injury – pain relief and recovery cycle.

Networked with memory, autonomic nervous system, brain hormones, vascular cells and musculo-skeletal systems, different layers of fascia seem to need different techniques to activate pain relief and release physical and emotional stress from different layers of fascia. – Mary Wolken PhD 2015
