This is money, thank you.Look into PRI (Posture Restoration Institute).
Basic Concepts of the Postural Restoration Institute®
I don’t think that’s it for me.In my experience it could be due to a low A : D ratio. It doesn‘t matter how much magnesium I ingest, my body feels relatively tight on vitamin D3/K2 alone, even in small amounts, but once I add sufficient amounts of retinol supplementation, this dissolves really quickly for me.
I need a ratio of 5:1 of A : D for this to happen. Do you take D3, K2 or A, how about magnesium?
Lowering serotonin greatly reduces this for me. I become all loosey-goosey, which I associate with low stress. It kind of matches what serotonin does to your personality. Rigid and inflexible.
I think this is the main end pathway...serotonin enduces this torpor, rigidity and anything that reverses this state like cyproheptadine, progesterone, magnesium etc. help get away from that.Progesterone is a great muscle relaxant (as any woman in their third trimester) which might mean high estrogen is having the opposite effect.

Basic Concepts of the Postural Restoration Institute®
nice, thank youAsymmetry between the sides of the body is a powerful concept with a lot of mileage. I've never come across a system that made it the focal point of the therapy. Nice link, thanks! Linking a few paragraphs below.
"The human body is not symmetrical. The neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular and vision systems are not the same on the left side of the body as they are on the right, and vice versa. They have different responsibilities, function, position and demands on them. This system asymmetry is a good thing and an amazing design. The human body is balanced through the integration of system imbalances. The torso, for example, is balanced with a liver on the right and a heart on the left. Extremity dominance is balanced through reciprocal function; i.e. left arm moves with right leg and vice versa.
Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) credentialed professionals recognize these imbalances and typical patterns associated with system disuse or weakness that develops because of dominant overuse. This dominant overuse of one side of the body can develop from other system unilateral overuse. For example, if the left smaller diaphragm is not held accountable for respiration as the right is, the body can become twisted. The right diaphragm is always in a better position for respiration, because of the liver’s structural support of the right larger diaphragm leaflet. Therefore, the left abdominals are always important to use during reciprocal function, such as walking, to keep the torso balanced."
I like seeing parallels between different systems and this line in the same Basic Concept summary harks of the "focal points" of Anusara-style Hatha Yoga:
"Balancing muscle activity around the sacrum (pelvis), the sternum (thorax) and the sphenoid (middle of the head) through a PRI approach best positions multiple systems of the human body for appropriate integrated asymmetrical function."

My cousin and some other people I know have similar issues.
i wonder if this is really more a nervous system thing and what to do about it.
warmth relaxes all the tissues and improves their functioning.
Are your paraspinals tight? Restless legs at all? Have you ever taken GABA?
Ultimately it's a thyroid (or rather low energy) problem, which is characterized in part by an impaired ability to retain magnesium in the cell.
In individuals with naturally intense and robust metabolism, tension and general stress is greatly alleviated. It makes sense, warmth relaxes all the tissues and improves their functioning.
