I’ve taken posture for granted. I appeared to stand straight, but now I know that my posture was unbalanced, lacked appropriate muscle support, was degrading over time, and resulted in sore and tight muscles that could lead to chronic pain. This is a long, potentially boring retrospective about my DIY soft tissue self-care journey. I hope that others may benefit.
Castor Oil – Historic and Enduring an Undervalued Natural Health and Beauty Aid by Deborah Tosline
Castor oil has been a staple in my home for decades. I discovered it while devouring second-hand healthy living books in my 20’s and 30’s. I historically used castor oil primarily for the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) and to treat soft tissue pain and inflammation. A recent sports injury and subsequent extended bedrest provided an opportunity to mindlessly binge YouTube videos. I quickly learned that castor oil usage has greatly expanded!

Soft Smooth You for Soft Smooth Skin – Soft Tissue Care for Better Health (= Beauty) by Deborah Tosline
When I think of skin health, of course I think of clear, velvety smooth, soft skin. Maintaining smooth skin is no easy feat so I practice a variety of techniques including:
skin remodeling – I use micro-needling, read about it here; I recently began using the Flex Effect Cross Stretching™ method
smooth underlying fascia – read about fascia remodeling here
exercise and massage muscles beneath the fascia – check it out here
maintain smooth soft tissue in the body to reduce pain, discomfort and tension which may be reflected in the soft tissue of the face
