Your Muscles Are Just Stupid Pieces of Meat

Your Muscles Are Just Stupid Pieces of Meat” — a philosophical correction about how people misunderstand the role of muscles vs fascia and systems-based thinking

There’s this idea floating around that muscles are the star of the show. Build them. Stretch them. Strengthen them. But when it comes to fascia vs muscle, there’s no real contest — fascia is what runs the show.

Your muscles are just stupid pieces of meat.

They don’t think. They don’t initiate. They don’t stabilize or protect you. They do what they’re told — and what tells them what to do is your fascia.

Fascia is the complex web of connective tissue that gives your body structure, transmits force, absorbs impact, and controls the way you move — or don’t move. It’s what shapes your posture, influences your pain patterns, and determines your ability to recover.

And yet, most people are training around fascia — claiming they’re working it, but not following how it actually needs to be trained. Even worse, they’re often destroying it with tools or programs that pretend to target fascia but do the exact opposite.

Stretching muscles, loading muscles, isolating muscles… and wondering why they’re still tight, still in pain, still not performing like they want.

💡 So What’s the Problem?

Training your body like a dumb machine ignores how your system actually works. If your fascia is tight, disorganized, or overloaded, it doesn’t matter how many reps you do or how “strong” your muscles are. You’ll keep reinforcing the same dysfunctional patterns.

That’s why most people plateau. Or get injured. Or end up in my office after going through 5 different physical therapists and chiropractors.

Because muscles aren’t the problem.
Fascia is the system.
And when you work with the system — not just the parts — everything changes.

🚫 Stop Blaming Age. Stop Blaming Injury.

I hear this every day:

“Well, I’m just getting older.”
“It’s because I used to play sports.”

Nope. It’s because you’ve never been taught how your body actually functions. You’ve been trained by a fragmented model.

But your body is whole.
It’s connected.
And it’s smarter than the programs you’ve been sold.

🔁 What To Do Instead

The solution isn’t more workouts.
It’s better input.

At SolCore, we use fascia-based movement and therapy to give your body the input it needs to reset patterns at the deepest level.

✅ More mobility
✅ Less pain
✅ Longer-lasting strength

And it doesn’t take hours a day or fancy

Train for the You 10 Years from Now: Preventive Movement for Lasting Health

60 year olds doing iliopsoas Myofascial Stretch for preventive training for long-term health

When it comes to your health, the smartest thing you can do is stop thinking short-term. Preventive training for long-term health means investing in how your body functions years from now—before injuries or limitations take hold.

This is the essence of preventive training for long-term health. It’s not reactive. It’s proactive. And it’s one of the most powerful ways you can take control of your aging process—starting today.

You Are Your Future

Here’s the truth: the body you’ll live in 10 years from now is the one you’re building right now—through your habits, your movement, your training, and even your rest.

Fascia doesn’t just react to injury. It adapts to how you move and load it every day. This means today’s imbalances become tomorrow’s dysfunction—unless you interrupt the pattern.

That’s why at SolCore Fitness & Therapy, we don’t just train you to feel better now. We teach your body how to age better—intelligently, holistically, and with a deep respect for structure and complexity.

A Holistic Approach = A Long-Term Win

Preventive training isn’t about going harder. It’s about going wiser.

That’s where our fascia-based system shines. Instead of isolated muscles, we work with your full structure. Instead of chasing symptoms, we build resilience from the inside out.

Want to see how it works? Read our Ultimate Guide for a Holistic Fitness Program to get a feel for the principles we use every day.

And here’s a great overview from the National Institute on Aging about the role of physical activity in preventing age-related decline.

Future You Will Thank You

So the real question isn’t whether you should train.

It’s this: What kind of body do you want to live in 10 years from now?

Let’s build that—together.

Like Dark Chocolate, Holistic Movement Satisfies Deeper

Holistic movement is like a piece of rich, dark chocolate — small, intentional, and deeply satisfying.

You ever eat one of those mini chocolate bars from Halloween? You eat one… then another… and somehow you’re still not satisfied.

But a small square of real dark chocolate? That hits different. It’s richer. It stays with you. It satisfies.

Why Dark Chocolate Hits Different

The difference isn’t just taste — it’s quality.
Dark chocolate is made with real cocoa, less sugar, and more of the stuff your body actually likes. You don’t need much of it to feel satisfied.

And it even helps your nervous system, not just your cravings — research backs this up.

The same is true with how you move.

When you train in a way that includes your fascia, your posture, your nervous system, and your structure — your body feels better. You don’t need to kill yourself in the gym.

The same is true with how you move. Myofascial Stretching is one example of movement that nourishes the body more fully.

You just need to feed your body what it’s actually hungry for.

Holistic Movement Works Smarter

Holistic movement isn’t about going soft — it’s about going deep. Learn why that makes all the difference.

It builds real strength from the inside out. It makes space in your joints. It calms your nervous system while it challenges your muscles.

And the best part?
You leave feeling stronger, not broken.

Just like with chocolate — when it’s made right, a little bit goes a long way.

Real Satisfaction Comes From Depth

If you’re always looking for the next workout fix — but never feeling better in your body — maybe it’s time to try something more nourishing.

Something that satisfies deeper.
Something that was made to work with your body, not just sweat it out.

That’s what we do here.
And like dark chocolate… once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

→ Ready to train smarter? That’s what we do here. See how our personalized, holistic approach works in real programs.

Regaining Independence: Mary’s Journey to Freedom

Solcore Fitness & Therapy Review. independence through holistic healing

When you think about independence, you might picture financial freedom or the ability to travel. But for many, independence means something much more personal: the ability to move, explore, and live life without being trapped by pain.

This is Mary’s story.

Finding Freedom from Pain

As an active person, Mary was deeply frustrated when scoliosis and SI joint issues sidelined her. The doctors told her she wasn’t a surgical candidate, and the physical therapy covered by her insurance barely scratched the surface.

Like many people, she was desperate for relief—but traditional approaches weren’t enough.

That’s when Mary found SolCore Fitness & Therapy. She was immediately drawn to our fascia-focused, holistic approach that addresses the root causes—not just the symptoms.

She joined our group classes and began private therapy sessions that worked directly with the source of her pain.

A Path to True Independence

The workouts were challenging, but never out of reach. Step by step, Mary began to rebuild her body.

Her pain decreased. Her mobility returned. Her confidence grew.

After a year and a half of committed work, Mary achieved something that once felt impossible—she completed a rugged 6-mile hike, a milestone that symbolized the independence she thought she had lost forever.

“I achieved results beyond my dreams.” — Mary

Holistic Healing That Works

Mary’s journey is a powerful reminder that when you address your body as a whole system—when you work with fascia, postural balance, and integrated movement—true independence becomes possible.

You don’t have to accept limited movement as your new normal.
You don’t have to settle for treatments that only scratch the surface.

There is a path to freedom.

Strength and Proprioception: You Can’t Strengthen What You Can’t Feel

Strength and proprioception are more connected than most people realize.
You’ve been told to get stronger. And maybe you’ve tried…
But here’s the thing no one tells you:
You can’t strengthen what you can’t feel.

If your body’s sensory map is fuzzy — if the nervous system can’t accurately locate joints, muscles, or tension — then you’re not building strength. You’re reinforcing confusion.

When the Signal’s Off, So Is the Output

That means:

  • The wrong muscles doing the work
  • Extra tension where you don’t need it
  • And a body that gets tighter, not stronger

This is why traditional strength training often fails people with chronic pain or poor posture. It piles output on top of dysfunction.

The nervous system is always prioritizing safety. And it won’t let you generate real force from an unsafe map.

Real Strength Starts with Signal Clarity

That’s where proprioception comes in — your body’s sense of position and movement. And it’s not just in the muscles… it’s in the fascia.

Fascia is one of the body’s most proprioceptive organs — a network of sensory receptors, both introceptive and extroceptive, woven throughout your entire structure.

To train it, we don’t start with load. We start with input.

That’s why methods like:

  • Segmental strengthening (precise isometric loading to re-educate joint control)
  • ELDOA (decompression to create space and normalize tension)
  • Myofascial Stretching (length + tension reset through fascial chains)
  • Proprioception exercises (low-load, high-precision training to refine joint feedback)

…form the foundation of intelligent strength development.

They wake up the system. They create clarity. And that’s what allows true strength to build.

From Signal to Strength — The Science Behind the Shift

Real strength doesn’t start with muscle. It starts with mapping.

According to Hill’s Muscle Model, force output depends on more than just fiber length and tension — it also relies on neural coordination and proprioceptive input. If the body can’t feel itself accurately, it can’t produce efficient force.

Your introceptors (internal signals: breath, organ tone, intra-abdominal pressure) and extroceptors (external cues: joint angles, balance, spatial orientation) work together to create a somatic map in the brain.

When that map is distorted, strength gets sloppy and injury risk climbs.
But when the map is clear?

  • Your system becomes more efficient
  • Force transfer improves
  • Strength becomes sustainable — not just performative

Fascia doesn’t just surround muscles — it interweaves with them.
It wraps around every muscle fiber, including actin and myosin, and envelopes the proprioceptors themselves — like muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs.

So when you train fascially — through decompression, tension normalization, segmental loading, and lengthened isometrics — you’re not just building strength…

You’re upgrading the entire system that strength depends on.

Why Your Spine Isn’t Rehydrating Overnight — and What to Do About It

disc hydration ELDOA. Illustration of a yellow sponge between two vertebrae with water droplets rehydrating the spine — metaphor for disc hydration through ELDOA and TV Stretching.

💡 Your spinal disc doesn’t just “recover” with hydration while you sleep. It responds to what you do before you rest.


🟠 Your Discs Aren’t Lazy — They’re Just Dehydrated

Most people think spinal health and disc hydration is a waiting game: take the pressure off, rest a bit, and hope the body “fixes itself.” But that mindset overlooks one of the most basic truths of physiology: structure needs input.

Your intervertebral discs — the soft cushions between each vertebra — don’t have a direct blood supply. They rely entirely on your movement, posture, and hydration mechanics to stay supple and healthy. If you’ve ever felt stiff or achy in the morning despite a “good night’s sleep,” there’s a reason for that.


🧠 The Science of Disc Hydration — in Plain Speak

Discs rehydrate in two ways:

1. Passive Rehydration (Osmotic Pressure)

When you lie down at night, gravity is removed. This creates an osmotic gradient — water is slowly drawn back into the discs. Think of it like setting a sponge in a shallow bowl of water. It’ll eventually soak in… but only as much as its tissue allows.

2. Active Rehydration (Mechanical Stimulus)

When you de-coapt your spine through targeted movement — like ELDOA stretches — you create negative pressure and fascial tension. This primes the disc to pull in more fluid. It’s like squeezing and releasing that sponge right before soaking it — it absorbs far more water when prepped this way.


🌙 Why ELDOA “TV Stretching” Works So Well for Disc Hydration

“TV Stretching” is the term we use for doing your ELDOA decompression work 1–2 hours before bed. This timing allows you to:

  • Decompress your spine actively
  • Prime your discs to absorb water
  • Then follow it with passive overnight rehydration

You’re combining two mechanisms, not relying on just one.

This is especially effective if you’re dealing with:

  • Degenerative disc issues
  • Postural compression from sitting or lifting
  • Chronic stiffness that doesn’t resolve with sleep alone

🛠 Try This Tonight: 2-Step Reset (L5/S1 Focus)

Before bed, try this:

  1. Get into the L5/S1 ELDOA position, but keep your knees bent.
    This protects the popliteal artery, which runs behind the knee and can be compressed during long-duration stretches with extended legs.
  2. Stay in the posture passively — just hold the position and breathe for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes.
    You’re not actively reaching or tensioning yet — just letting the spine settle and decompress through position alone.
  3. Then do a single, focused ELDOA hold — no more than 1 minute.
    Engage the full fascial lines. Create vertical tension. Be precise.
    (Too long and you’ll reverse the effect — ELDOAs are about quality, not duration.)
  4. Lie down and rest.
    This primes your spine for both active and passive hydration during the night.

Try this for a few nights and feel the difference. It’s a strategy rooted in somatic intelligence — not guesswork.


🌀 Recovery Starts with Awareness

This is about more than hydration — it’s about being in your body enough to know what it needs and when.
If you’re curious how body awareness and healing are deeply connected, this Psychology Today overview of somatic therapy breaks it down beautifully. It echoes what we practice here — movement that starts with presence, not just position.


✅ Feel Different in the Morning — Not Just Rested

If you want to feel strong, tall, and fluid in the morning, you don’t need more sleep.
You need smarter pre-sleep recovery.

This approach is simple, targeted, and doesn’t take long. But it’s rooted in deep science and even deeper respect for the body’s rhythms.

Somatic Pride: Finding Strength in Feeling at Home in Your Body

Man meditating Somatic Pride

We often talk about self-confidence or resilience like it’s just a mindset — but your body has to believe it, too. That’s somatic pride. And for many men, that’s where the disconnect lies.

Cultural norms often teach men to disconnect from discomfort, push through pain, and stay strong by numbing out. Over time, this creates a gap between who we are and what we actually feel. That gap becomes tension. Disconnection. Even shame.

You can’t take pride in a body you’re constantly overriding.
You can’t feel strong when you’re always fighting your own signals.
And you can’t be fully present for others — or even yourself — when you’ve been trained to tune out.

Somatic awareness changes this.

Learning to inhabit your body fully — to feel it, trust it, and work with it — creates an inner confidence that doesn’t need performance or perfection. For a thoughtful look at how somatic awareness bridges the mind–body gap, Psychology Today’s article on “Somatic Awareness: Connecting Mind and Body” is a great primer → Psychology Today – Somatic Awareness.

That’s why our approach to strength includes tools like ELDOA and decompression training — techniques that help your body unwind and realign from the inside out. These aren’t just exercises. They’re invitations to come back into your body.

That’s what real self-respect looks like: not a posture of dominance, but a relationship of honesty and care with your own body.

Your Body Is Not a Tool: It’s a Tensegrity System

Mens Health. Your Body is not a tool - tensegrity system body

Your Body Is Not a Tool—It’s a Tensegrity System

Most men treat their body like a tool.
Use it. Push it. Sharpen it. And when it breaks—tape it up and keep going.

But what if that’s the wrong model?

What if your body is less like a hammer… and more like a suspension bridge?

🧬 What Is a Tensegrity Structure?

Tensegrity is a principle of architecture and biology that describes how a system holds its shape through tension and compression in balance.

In your body, that means:

  • Fascia suspends bones, not just muscles.
  • Muscles work in continuous loops—not linear pairs.
  • Stability comes from distributed force, not just strong joints.

This concept is well explored in tensegrity structures in the body, where bones float in a sea of soft tissue and movement is the result of dynamic relationships—not rigid levers.

When one area tightens or collapses, everything else has to adjust—sometimes with pain, sometimes with compensation.

🧠 The “Tool Mindset” Is Costly

Most men were taught to push through discomfort, to train harder, and to earn results through effort alone.

But this approach overlooks the systemic balance that your body depends on:

  • Strength in one plane + stiffness in another = injury
  • Big lifts without joint hydration = compression, not growth
  • No fascia prep = poor rebound and reduced circulation

Fascia doesn’t just wrap muscles—it governs how force travels through the body. Fascia’s role in structural balance is central to preventing overload and sustaining performance.

A tensegrity system doesn’t respond well to brute force. It needs strategy.

🔧 The Shift: From Hammer to Suspension Bridge

What if instead of forcing your body, you prepared it?

  • What if warm-ups focused on joint mobility and fascial hydration, not just heat?
  • What if your training helped restore balance before pushing capacity?
  • What if you saw self-care as performance insurance, not a luxury?

🛠️ ELDOA: Biotensegral Fitness in Action

This is where tools like ELDOA, myofascial stretching, and segmental reinforcement come in.

They create:

✅ Precise decompression
✅ Vector-aligned tension
✅ Functional hydration of discs and joints
✅ Endurance without compensation

It’s not flashy. But it works. And it lasts.

In fact, fascia-related dysfunction is often a root cause of training breakdown. Learn more about overuse injuries and movement compensation and how smarter prep can make the difference.

📣 Final Thought: Pride in Structure

During Men’s Health Month and Pride Month, the message is simple:

➡️ Pride in yourself starts with knowing yourself.
➡️ You can’t give what you don’t have.
➡️ A resilient body supports a fulfilling life.

The goal isn’t to push harder—it’s to train smarter.
Your body isn’t a tool. It’s a system. Treat it that way—and it will carry you far.

Emergence: The Body’s Quiet Revolution

Emergence: The Body's Quiet Revolution

We tend to think in straight lines. Start here, end there. Do the work, get the result. But the body doesn’t operate like a factory.

It operates like a forest.

In a forest, growth is not linear. It’s ecological—emerging from networks of interdependence, seasons, decay, and surprise. This is how the body heals, evolves, and ultimately transforms.

This is emergence—when small, slow, often invisible processes suddenly produce something entirely new. A shift in posture. An absence of pain. The feeling of being organized from the inside out.

The Patience of Complexity

We’re conditioned to seek fast results. We want the “fix.” But when it comes to pain, performance, or even mental clarity, the body doesn’t respond to force. It responds to presence.

Real change in the body comes from layered input—postural precision, fascial tensioning, nervous system reset, fluid movement, mindful breath. None of these alone are a magic bullet. But together, they build the terrain for something deeper to emerge.

Like in ELDOA, where you’re not just doing an exercise to open up space at a specific joint—you’re turning on and integrating that joint with the rest of your spine, nervous system, and body. It’s a deliberate act of reconnection, aligning with the principles of PIT and DAM to allow for more fluid, intelligent movement. Or in myofascial stretching, where you find the restriction and *wait* for the tissue to yield. Or in proprioceptive re-education, where you’re not just retraining muscles—you’re awakening forgotten intelligence.

Working “With” the Body, Not Against It

Techniques rooted in osteopathic principles—like ELDOA, MFS, segmental reinforcement, and fluid proprioception—are not about overpowering dysfunction. They’re about partnering with the body’s own capacity to reorganize.

You’re not “fixing” the body.
You’re giving it the information it needs to *emerge into coherence*.

This takes patience. Curiosity. And yes, repetition. But the rewards go far beyond relief. You move with more integrity. You live with more resilience.

This layered, systemic process is at the heart of our Osteopathic Exercise and Therapy Techniques, where you’ll find tools that support the body’s natural ability to adapt and reorganize.

More Than You Think You Are

Emergence reminds us that we’re not limited by where we are now.

With the right input, the right environment, and the willingness to work with complexity, we don’t just recover—we transform.

You may be showing up to resolve pain or feel better in your joints. But what if this process gave you more than that? What if you discovered strength, confidence, and alignment that you didn’t think was possible?

Not by forcing your body to comply.
But by allowing your system to do what it’s built to do: adapt, organize, and emerge.

Your body is not a project to be completed

It’s a living, dynamic system that—given the right relationship—can become more than you imagined.

That’s the quiet revolution.

That’s emergence.

Fascia Healing vs. R.I.C.E: Why Movement Beats Ice for Recovery

R.I.C.E

❄️ Why R.I.C.E. Isn’t the Best Way to Heal

Most of us grew up hearing the same advice when we got hurt:

Rest. Ice. Compress. Elevate.

This is called the R.I.C.E. method—and while it once seemed smart, even Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who coined the term in 1978, has since retracted it. In his article “Why Ice Delays Recovery,” Dr. Mirkin explains that excessive icing can hinder the body’s natural healing process.

Why? Because fascia healing doesn’t happen by stopping the body. It happens through flow.

💡 What’s Wrong With Icing Too Much?

Ice helps right after an injury—for the first 12 to 24 hours.
It slows swelling and bruising, and that’s useful.

But after that? ❌
Too much ice can block the very process your body needs to heal.

It slows blood flow, pushes out the helpful cells, and delays your recovery.

🔬 Fascia Healing Happens in 3 Natural Phases

Let’s break it down simply. When you get hurt or sick, your body starts healing in three steps:

1️⃣ Vascular Phase(2 parts): First Comes the Swelling

When you get hurt, your body quickly sends more blood to the area.
This is called vasodilation, and it’s the first part of the healing process.
All that blood brings oxygen, nutrients, and important “emergency signals” that call for help.

🧊 This is the short window where ice can help.
If there’s a lot of swelling or bruising, icing during the first 12 to 24 hours can slow it down and protect nearby tissues.

But then the second part kicks in…

Now, tiny blood vessels open up and allow special immune helpers to pass through.
These cells begin preparing the area for repair. This part needs flow, not freezing.

So ice is only useful in the very beginning.
After that, movement, hydration, and gentle pressure help your body do its job.

2️⃣ Cellular Phase: The Cleanup Crew Arrives

Next, special immune cells move in.
They clean up the mess, fight off problems, and prepare your body for repair.

But if you keep icing?
It’s like putting a roadblock in front of those helpful cells.

3️⃣ Repair Phase: Tissue Starts to Rebuild

Once your body starts to rebuild, the goal isn’t to stay still—it’s to support the process.

Your fascia, muscles, and joints need:

  • Movement to keep fluids flowing
  • Breath to improve circulation
  • Light pressure to guide repair without overload

These things don’t just “speed up” healing—
They help your body do what it already knows how to do.

At SolCore Fitness we don’t fight the body’s response. We work with it—through guided movement and hands on treatment with methods like ELDOA, myofascial stretching, fascia-based exercise and fascial pumping to help your body heal with its natural rhythm.

These are the tools that work with your fascia, not against it.

This is where fascia healing really begins.
New tissue is built. Fluid clears. Your body restores balance.

But here’s the key:
✅ This only happens if there’s movement, hydration, and gentle pressure.

🧘‍♂️ What Helps Fascia Heal Best?

  • Short-term ice (only in the first 12–24 hours)
  • After that:
    • Breathing
    • Gentle movement
    • Techniques like pumping and stretching

At SolCore Fitness, we use methods like ELDOA, myofascial stretching, and fascial pumping to help your body heal with its natural rhythm.

These are the tools that work with your fascia, not against it.

🚫 Don’t Freeze the Flow. Support It.

Your fascia isn’t just a tissue—it’s a system.
It thrives on movement, hydration, and flow.

The R.I.C.E. method stops that flow.
But fascia healing needs it to recover.

✅ What You Can Do Today

  • Got an old injury that won’t heal?
  • Or a new one you’re icing too long?

Try fascia-first movement instead.
Give your body what it’s really asking for: flow, not freezing.
