Actually research (and there are lots of papers on this) has shown that static load (i.e. pressing into the bone) at best doesn’t have any effect on bone growth and at worst it actually decreases bone growth (as an example, see: Bone. 2001 Aug;29(2):105-13.) .

CM knows more about the anatomy side, maybe she can pop by and help us out as I'm sure she will be able to give you the technicals about the exercises more than me. I don't have the mind for them. |
The micro-tears of the muscle help build muscle but that is totally different from building bone. While some facial exercises can potentially help build muscle, that does not mean that they can build bone. As I said before, for them to build bone, the pull would have to be so strong that it would actually be bad for the skin. Even if you did it with vibrations (some studies have found that certain high-frequency vibrations could help bone growth, though other studies have shown no effect), the vibrations could be good for the bone but not for the skin. This has to do with the fact that facial muscles are different than limb muscles because they’re attached to the skin, while the others are not. |
That really worries me. I tried to find some reliable papers concerning beneficial effects of pressing into the bone, but I wasn't able to - snd i tried hard, believe me. Actually, Josee seems to be right that pressing is useless at best. It's a sad news for me, after reading EDS and other forum I was fully convinced that pressing helps to increase bone density, and I've been pressing for some time.
Does any of you know more on the subject? |
