How emotions affect posture: A scientific view of the organization of fascia
Leonardo Vieira
Brazilian Academy of Science, Brazil
The most recent emotional theories say that emotions are the sum of exteroceptions and interoceptions together with the
information contained in the limbic system. From there the CNS (Central Nervous System) forms an emotion triggering
series of efferent responses, acting on the regulatory system of biotensegrity and remodeling the extracellular matrix. In the
case of negative emotions, the insular cortex, somatosensory and right hypothalamus generate a descending response where
there is a greater activation of the fibroblasts, myofibroblasts and smooth muscle cells, contracting and generating alterations in
the collagen networks, tensioning deep fascia and the epimysal fascia, mainly in the deeper layers, related to the maintenance of
the posture. If the emotion is chronically maintained, the collagen network of the extracellular matrix remodels itself to change
the posture in a pathological pattern.
