Since there is a large concentration of lymph nodes in the abdomen, massaging the abdomen will stimulate the lymph nodes and cause them to drain. Where do they drain? The collarbone. Mostly left. But clear both. That’s why you clear the collarbone first.

Muscles move bones and brains move muscles. When you have a chronically tight muscle, it’s not gonna let go until the brain grants permission. That’s why being more gentle with your therapy often gives you greater longer lasting results than sledgehammering it.

Without the ability to inflame, healing wouldn’t be possible. Inflammation isn’t bad. If you didn’t get inflammation you would die sooner. It’s the incessant chronic inflammation that becomes the issue. The body is stuck in kill and protect mode.
