The moment the body senses any form of danger, whether it is real physical danger, like when you trip over something, or overload, when the body needs to respond with extra strength, or emotional trauma, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in within a split second to protect. This protection can come in the form of attack, escape or freeze. As soon as the body and/or mind realises that the danger has passed, the parasympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system kicks in and brings the body back to normal. However, if the dangerous event is perceived as overwhelming and too much to bear with, the mind and body responds with a permanent freeze and immobilisation. This is what we call trauma; when the traumatic event and its consequences are stored in the mind as a new dysfunctional behaviour pattern and in the body as contracted and restricted fascia. To release this trauma, the Lyno Method does a full body assessment to find exactly where the trauma is stored, and then focus the treatment on those areas.
