S.A.I.D. = (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands), is very popular in modern day exercise/fitness/sports training worlds. What if we wind the clock back to a time that the history of our Species has spent the majority of its time as Nomadic Hunter Gatherers; what specifics or E.E.A.

Tightness

Many people view muscle tightness from a localized view, besides the muscle(s) that is displaying the symptom of tightness; is the more vital aspect of one’s biology perhaps the greater and more common drivers of the tightness? Other biological drivers such as the Microbiome, Viscera, CNS, ANS, Interception, and Circadian System; and then the psychological side of things such as belief, Poly Vagal Theory, ACEs, Trauma and etc. I feel there’s so much more to the puzzle of tightness than just the muscles alone, we’re an emergent floating super-organism story telling meaning making system, so therefore there must be more to addressing muscle tightness beyond that of something like balancing the spokes of a bicycle wheel.
