The sphenoid and pelvis mirror each other more than most people realize.

Both have a central ‘body’ with wing-like expansions, both function as structural keystones, and both anchor major myofascial and ligamentous systems.

Because their shapes — and roles — parallel each other, rotation or tension in one region can echo through the dural, fascial, and CNS pathways to influence the other.

In PT, we don’t just treat what hurts. We treat the patterns — and these two structures often share the same story.

The 2nd workshop event this Thursday with 2goodgolf message me to book! ⛳️🏌‍♂️

I've been running pilates for Golfers for a little while now and my clients are starting to give me feedback that they are seeing improvements with their golf game, i'm absolutely delighted that this is starting to show.

It's a pleasure to run these events with Dan, we are looking to keep it fun and specific to help you improve your game!

Mechanoreceptors are a remarkable part of the fascial system. They are the microscopic sensory “listening stations” embedded throughout fascia that constantly read pressure, stretch, tension, vibration, and movement. They allow the body to feel itself from the inside. Without mechanoreceptors, movement would be clumsy, uncoordinated, and disconnected. With them, movement becomes fluid, responsive, and intelligent.

Fascia is loaded with various types of mechanoreceptors, each communicating with the nervous system in its own unique way. Ruffini endings respond to slow, sustained pressure and create a parasympathetic calming effect. Pacinian corpuscles respond to vibration and rapid changes in pressure, helping the body coordinate sudden movements. Interstitial receptors monitor subtle stretches, tensions, and internal shifts; they comprise nearly eighty percent of fascial sensory input and directly influence pain perception. Golgi receptors, found near ligaments and tendon insertions, respond to deep stretch and help down-regulate muscular tension.

When a bodyworker touches fascia, these receptors are the very first structures to respond. Slow, sustained contact helps melt hypertonicity because Ruffini endings signal to the nervous system, “It’s safe to soften.” Deep or directional stretch activates Golgi receptors, signaling muscles to lengthen. Gentle vibration or oscillation stimulates Pacinian receptors, enhancing proprioception and enabling joints to move with greater confidence. Even the quietest technique, a still fascial hold, stimulates interstitial receptors, which can modulate pain and reduce sympathetic overdrive.

Altogether, mechanoreceptors weave the sensory intelligence of fascia. They are the reason the body can adapt, coordinate, stabilize, and move with fluid grace rather than mechanical force. They turn every subtle change in tension into information the brain uses to refine posture, balance, and movement patterns.

So when we work with fascia, we’re not just stretching tissue. We’re communicating with an enormous sensory network that shapes how someone moves, feels, and inhabits their body. Mechanoreceptors are part of the reason fascia is both biomechanical and deeply emotional.
