@migizii Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad the information helps. I have to remember to stop bracing too. I do that subconsciously in protection of an injury or something that happened awhile ago. I catch myself doing it at physical therapy and have to tell myself to let go and that I am recovering and things are getting better. It might help emotionally to embrace whatever causes the need to feel like you need to protect yourself. We do tend to store the stress of events and trauma in our bodies unknowingly. Sometimes patients who are doing myofascial release with a therapist will have emotional outbursts or sobbing as the muscle memory is released. Those words of wisdom are from my physical therapist.
