Thomas Myers - Fascia 101

66.6% water, and sweeter than an orange

Thank you! Great explanation.

are cancers formed in the facsia from stem cells?

Prophet Muhammad mentioned fascias 14 centuries ago!

Actually we are 99% water including intracellular & interstitial phase four water.

Es muy bueno pero...por favor permitan la traduccion a otros idiomas. Gracias

Fantastic info given by a man who has a very Carl Sagan-esque vibe.

Wish I could sub twice.

Wow.thankyou.

You the man

Is there fascia in the thoracic back, all across it, and over both kidneys? For 4 years I have been having horrific pain in my thoracic spine like a knife that someone stabbed me with and left there. Then I feel as if I ha e 2pitchforks sticking into my thoracic back on both sides of the spine, sometimes it feels as if claws are clawing me from the inside of my thoracic back. I also get, infrequently, much dull squeezing pain over both kidneys, so bad. I have it now. My MRI of thoracic back only shows that most of my discs are bulging centrally and touching the covering of the spinal cord. I am dying of pain. What can I do to make my discs not bulge?

Depending on how fat you are 🤣 I like straight up

Can your fascia fight back and make your body shake or is it the therapist shaking me?

Thank you for posting

He's smart

Hello Havre de Grace!

What nutrition should we focus on to keep the Facia from cramping up?

Ellen Degeneres has really let herself go

Fantastic lecture, thank you!

Very well explained. Thank you. I have a quick follow up question so can I say epimysium is nothing but fascia and is visible when one cut opens the body. As per what I have read, it says the inner layer of fascia is called as epimysium, so is epimysium nothing but connective tissues that are actually connected to the muscle?

A few years ago, we use to throw the fascia away to get to the muscles and bones during an autopsy. We didn’t really pay much attention to it!

Amazing!

It makes perfect sense.

i am so fascinated by it

Is the facia a uniform thickness through out the body. How thick where?

yesss!

It's funny....even when dissecting the "first cat/Ox eye/Ginny Pig....we all observe the fascia....but pay little attention to it; in "olden days" of medical training; biology, whatever. Now....this is a great video to "teach" how we "stay together"...live within our water compartments/water gels now...is a major hypothesis that is gathering phenomenal growth and understanding that "WATER itself"....with our systemic fascia...keeps us together by "ionic charge potentials", or by physical barrier.


Nice video...thanks.

Needs more bong hit transplant

100%❤🙏👍👌

Am looking for any further information on Ida Roth and coming up with zero. Does anyone have a link to this Roth scientist please?

Good introductory explanation. However, as someone that battled Thoracic Outlet Syndrome for over 20 years only to discover it was a disorder of the fascia in my neck and shoulder area, I would make one critical suggestion for people wondering about how to "release" fascia. Fascia has enormous tensile strength (approximately 2000 lbs per square-inch at a maximum "safe stretch") Fascia does not "release" with increased stress, therefore the stretch must be firm-yet-gentle and, the most crucial part, the stretch must be sustained for AT LEAST 3 minutes before a "release" will occur. That is a bare minimum for minor problems with tense fascia. If you're dealing with a long-term fascia issue, you need to hold the stretch for at least 5 minutes...even that isn't really enough. The longer the stretch, the more the fascia will release. I find the magic number to be about 10 minutes for the most rigid fascia (we're talking 20 years worth of rigidity) A gentle, controlled stretch can do wonders for fascia if it's held long enough. You can also do the fascia neck stretch shown in this video yourself but tying an extra-light, extra-long yoga band to a sturdy banister, hooping it over your shoulder and tilting/rotating your head to the opposite side until you feel the tense area stretch.

thanks man good stuff!!

So.. is fascia just connective tissue?

one thing that you guys miss it that fascia is also gas circulation system and it is responsible for most diseases, many cultural behaviours as even religions (way people pray and much more)

super interesting.....
thanks

this guys a fucking genius I swear in 50 years anatomy and especially biomechanics will be taught differently because of these concepts of fascia, in many ways it's been obvious!!!

For a person with little medical knowledgeable; like myself, this is a brilliantly expressed explanation for how the body works. Thanks for the great info.

Yeh the classic to show how interconnected everything is is to use a tennis ball to roll out your foot. After spending 2 minutes on each foot you feel the release in your entire leg, particularly the hamstring.

Hello! I love this video! Sadly, in the Hispanic public is very little known the work of Thomas Myers. Would you allow me to insert in one of my videos a fragment of this video to promote your channel and the Tom Myers's channel?

Our posture has a direct effect on the way we feel be it our mood or confidence like sitting/standing up straight and open up tricks your mind into feeling more confident and you can even absorb more information than i.e when sitting back with crossed arms

You look like Richard Dean Anderson.

What are your thoughts on Fascia Blasting? Do you think Fascia Blasting traumatizes the liquid crystalline matrix more than it helps? How does that differ from Myofascial release?

What's your opinion on the fascia blaster vs the graston technique? and is the fascia blaster really working the fascia or breaking up scar tissue?

awesome! Thank you for this. I am a massage therapist and this will help me explain fascia to people that have never heard of it before.

Love this! Thank you

Wow ... Awesome explanation
