Learning path

Animations

Short animations that show, phase by phase, how the method understands the body. They follow a learning path: from fascia to the nervous system and to treatment. In each animation, choose a phase to see it on repeat and read the explanation, in plain or technical language.

1. Part 1

   How injury happens

   From tissue to brain: how fascia loses its glide and why tension shows up far from where it started.

      From Ankle Sprain to the Spine

      An illustrative case, phase by phase: a hypothesis of how an ankle sprain can climb the fascial chain of tension up to the pelvis and the spine.

      Trauma, Central Nervous System, and Tension

      A phase-by-phase animation of the path between a trauma in the tissue and fascial tension: the warning travels up to the central nervous system, and the order to protect comes from there.

      03

      Chain of Tension: From the Stomach to the Joint

      A phase-by-phase animation of how irritation of an organ, the stomach, can become tension in the shoulder and hip: the source is not always where it hurts.

      04In depth

      From Trauma to Tensioned Fascia

      A phase-by-phase animation of what happens in the tissue after a trauma: inflammation, loss of glide, cells that contract, fibrosis, and a self-feeding cycle.

2. Part 2

   When pain does not go away

   Pain that persists after healing, and the model that tries to explain how it is maintained.

      05

      Central Sensitization

      A phase-by-phase animation of how pain can continue after the tissue heals: the nervous system starts amplifying the signal, and a light touch starts to hurt.

      Temporal Model of Central Sensitization

      An interactive, phase-by-phase animation of the Temporal Model of Central Sensitization (TMCS): a hypothesis by Dr. Adi Halili, still under investigation.

3. Part 3

   Recovery and the balance of the system

   How the subtle touch acts on tissue and brings the nervous system back to recovery mode.

      07

      The Subtle Touch: From Tension to Glide

      A schematic animation of the SMT Halili model for the subtle touch: how a light, sustained contact is received by the nervous system and the cells, and how the tissue glides again.

      Autonomic Nervous System: The Switch Between Alert and Recovery

      A phase-by-phase animation of the autonomic nervous system: alert mode, what happens when it won't switch off, and how the subtle touch shows the body the way back to recovery.
