Thanks. So you're talking about SMA work which is much better than is commonly used. I wasn't just talking about average tai chi practitioners-- Cheng Man Ching is a big name in tai chi history, and anyone who gets a eulogy in Tai Chi Magazine is at least well above average.

Secrets of the Pelvis for Martial Arts might be an effort at serious SMA removal. It's by an engineer, and he goes very deep into the subject, including a look at the emotional difficulties.

I believe you about accumulated SMA from a big range of traumas, including smallish ones-- (I even suspect that diapers cause SMA), and I'm able to manage tinnitus with relaxation. There's a huge amount of possibility. Have you heard of Eric Franklin? He's a dancer and anatomist, and does a lot with imagery.
