<description><![CDATA[Spinoza's approach to bodywork would be that physical factors cause only physical results and cannot cause mental results. Mental interventions cannot cause physical results. This helps massage therapists to have a clear scope of practice. In fact, since the brain is part of the physical body, it is fair game for massage therapists, as long as we do not attempt to influence the mind.]]></description>

<title>Massaging Muscles in Their Shortened Positions</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/1106916</link>

<description><![CDATA[Muscles relax when the brain feels safe.  The brain has created muscle guarding because this feels like the safest choice.  A therapist "agrees" with the brain's choices, when he or she holds a muscle in its shortened position.  During shortening, the brain feels its goal has been met, so it can afford to reduce contraction during this time.  The therapist's other hand now palpates the same muscle that is being shortened.  Applying any level of pressure to the muscle, from the lightest to whatever feels good, will now trigger a melting response--the sensation of pressure reminds the brain to recalculate, and because it feels safe, the guarding is relinquished.  This is the first published article on the method, reprinted from the 2002 Massage&Bodywork article (reprinted with permission from both author and magazine), marking the reuniting of this method with the world.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The brain feels safe to relinquish guarding when the guarded muscle is placed in its shortened position.  Forty five degrees of head rotation shortens the obliquus capitis inferior.  In this position, pressing the muscle, one finds the muscle relxes immediately.  Three atlanto-axial rotators are covered and occipito-atlantal sidebenders.  Both shortened positions and cranially shortening phases are discussed.]]></description>
