jackalssonWent to my first session of KMI structural integration (KMI being Kinesis Myofascial Integration) yesterday; today all the areas addressed are confused and sore, not unpleasantly so. Just noticeable. I'm hopeful that I can start addressing some of the roots to my physical problems, rather than just treat or ignore symptoms like I've done historically. I felt very comfortable with Joseph, though I make faces at the possibility of acquiring a bra sans underwire. The logic being that it leaves the spine still mostly visible, unlike a cami-esque top or sports bra or binder, all of which I actually own. Honestly I might rather go topless, but I don't know that this is an option, since not all of the session is under table sheets *sigh*
Among various interesting things learned in the initial assessment--I've apparently been successful at training myself out of 'tucking my tail', but have over-compensated such that now I have an interior pelvic tilt instead of exterior. Oops. Also I've sprained my right ankle more than just the one time I knew about--surprise! But given the ballet background through color guard, not too surprising. That culture was very much "push through it", particularly if the injury/twinge/whatever occurred during a show. I was prone to that default before guard, and am only just training myself out of it in the last few years...
Joseph super curious about solomon's seal, of which I've just run out and need to pick up more. I should get enough of the root to just tincture a huge batch for myself, because goodness knows I work with that herb constantly and feel it when I run out.

If it were me in that session, I'd tell him he was going to have to figure it out, because I wouldn't be dumping cash into a spendy garment that was only ever going to be used for a single purpose (and granted, bras for me are more expensive than they might be for you, but that's beside the point) and which would make me actively and profoundly unhappy to wear.
But I might feel a wee tad more strongly on this point than you. I dunno.
