In part 1 of this article, we discussed how joint mobility training works with your body's reflexes to help restore lost motion due to injury, stress, poor posture, and lack of movement. That reflexes are sometimes still active, even though the threat of further harm to the joints is no longer there. Now, we will take a look at how your body adapts to stress.

The second basis for this training is the Principle of Specificity, or the SAID Principle. The SAID Principle stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. Simply, the body adapts to the stresses you place on it.

So if you do some movements to the exclusion of others, your body may develop an imbalance between the muscles. For example, if you do more work for the muscles of the front of the body and not enough for the back, you may develop an imbalance, which could lead to an injury.

The Principle of Specificity also applies to your daily movements or lack of them. Posture is something nearly forgotten in our society, yet extremely important. More and more we have become a seated society - seated in the car going to and from work, seated at work, and seated at home in front of the TV or computer.

Those who do stand at work, are frequently bent over, working on something or someone. Our bodies adapt to this position, especially if we don't ever stand up straight to counterbalance this effect.

Shoulders become rounded and heads stay forward and the muscles of the hips and legs become chronically shortened because they are bent most of the time.

So if not enough movement is done outside of work, we gradually lose the ability to move our joints properly. This is what Thomas Hanna refers to as Sensory-Motor Amnesia, in his book Somatics.
