The Role of Fascia in Movement and Function

All I have at this time is 2 different fascia blasters. How do the professionals feel about fascia blasters? If you would like to look at the product to see what it is, the person who makes the product is named Ashley Black and you can find the product by name in conjunction with her name. Plz let me know if you, the professional people feel about this product. Let me just thank you guys for paying attention to this subject because I don't think there's a doctor in my town who has read any of the new findings/ research done in the past decade and a half and honestly it's ruining my life. I had to quit going to doctors because they wanted to push the medicine and I didn't want medicine I wanted real help. I have lesions in my back that are literally holding 2 of my ribs together, the fascia in my lower back is so painful and on top of that I have burning pain in my lumbar. I really think that I have a big fat case of fibromyalgia because everything hurts all the time when I move more AND when I move less. I can't stand for more than 2 minutes. On top of that I have really limited lymphatic drainage that causes edema in one or both of my legs all the time and it's horrible. I am such a mess and I'm navigating this all alone because I refuse to take the doctors drugs. I did not make a deal with any drug company and I don't care where big pharma shoves it. The opioids killed my sister and I refuse to take them.

Great info. I am sure you have heard of Rolfing where we use manual therapy to change the shape of the fascia creating space for movement w ease

Thanks so much ❤❤❤

Traditional Chinese Medicine has known about practically everything we are "rediscovering " and "rebranding" these days. I agree with other comments, give credit where it is due. It's not cutting edge just because you can now see thru an MRI what has been happening for literally millennia. Nonetheless, happy you and others are realizing the wisdom within such an ancient medicine. By the way, the acupuncture needles are doing the exact same thing you are achieving with "extreme" cupping and movements. With traditional cupping, max pumps are usually 3-4, any above will in fact cause damage to the underlying tissues, promoting scar tissue development.

Do you have any course materials on learning more about this subject ?

This was great and underlined what I already knew instinctively as a movement and massage therapist with good scientific detail.

How do they manage to make the cups stay attached to the body while moving since any slight movement or tension in the body would create a dent and make the cup loose pressure and fall eventually?! I am asking because I am familiar with the therapy and this is my own experience

Absolute gold 🥇

Great!

This whole talk was really fascinating. I especially enjoyed listening to the information about cupping. As a Muslim I have been researching wet cupping called Hijamah and it’s so amazing that our beloved prophet Muhammad mentioned this as a healing for many ailments 1400 years ago. The fact that western medicine is only just discovering this now leaves me in awe of my beautiful religion of Islam yet again

Un immense merci plein d'amour ❤❤

Most of my training has been with John T. Barnes and so happy to see these techniques becoming more mainstream after all these years. Made my job so much easier physically; helped more of my clients achieve goals and reduce unbearable pain; and has earned me more money then I could have imagined making doing body work. A paradigm change in our perspectives on human anatomy yet fully realized!

Thank you so much for sharing this, no way I could access this info in such a pedagogical way

Soooo good !!!

But Imagine, some Ancient ,Thousands of years ago, lit a jar with flame, into a cup.
I had THAT done on a fotation with 2 other massage techniques. I ioived it.
I have to do another round of this . THIS IS what got me straight and up. I fell again recently and covid happened, so ii couldnt get in person pt..
But i did ehat i learned with 20 years of PT 2/3x year for 6 weekes. Then met a lady that xid what your talking about,, and i vould DANCE again after 17 years with THIS..
I know its a year commitment, so i have rearranged my routine to focus on the first 4 months, then itll start feeling better anfter a period of increased pain. But the result.. is FABULOUS! if i fidnt fall HARD ,... AGAIN, Id be doing 5 times what i reduced to trying to wait till i donthave to get shot first.
Im READY. breathe ..

Wow i went to a massage school 20 years ago and they were teaching us about this. Its really cool to see what they taught us was spot on and still relevant today, shout out to utah college of massage therapy, i went to their campus in Las Vegas, it closed down but the family of schools is still going strong

Omg, my body is made of spaghetti!

Amazing lecture! Thank you

How is fascia...affected by ankle surgery. And can it recover fully. How long

Good lecture. Except for saying ok constantly.

This video was great. I would love to hear your thoughts about and/or see yin yoga included into the modalities that do similar things. Very different than other active yoga styles, yin yoga targets fascia, ligaments, joints etc.

Do tai chi!

Any vegas therapy recommendations? Iv had chronic painful left subscapular bursitis for 10 + years and seen so many doctors and had all of this done and more but none if it helps

Could controlled inflammation like bee stings produce similar pressure by swelling up a certain area ? Thanks

I have 3 advanced degrees and I have never heard of this thing called fascia that you are supposed to squash out by rolling a pool noodle over it. I just rolled a rolling pin under my bare foot and my heel feels better. I didn’t even notice that my heel was sore. Apparently I am rolling out fascia. Who knew?

I’m thankful that finally some of this info about Fascia is getting to the mainstream. I’d like to point to the historical line that has finally lead to what we see now entering the mainstream. Ida Rolf was developing and proclaiming much of this in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s and developing work that includes the Fascial system in many of the ways that these physio’s are now describing. Also, Thomas Myers was a Rolfer, trained by Ida Rolf, who got his massage licence to be able to work in California. Please, give credit where credit is due.

i didn't notice it until this time i need to research it to treat :0 it"t very incredible

Until this video I thought physical therapy was quack science. And maybe it was before 20 years ago - when my last PT went to school. Like the question at the end asked - you need to find a PT who reads the professional literature and interview them!

Love Fascia! I train my fascia at Fascia Love

I did some relief on my legs last night... and i feel Great today. I'm shocked how TIGHT is was. I mean a lot of tension

Where do you find doctors like these?! My physical therapist at Kaiser doesn’t think like this at all and has given up on my condition. Where do I find people like this to work on me??

After covid this lecture is all the more relevant. I have chronic pain at the crossed sections since the first year of lockdowns, even though I thought I was doing a good job of home exercising. I will look for a PT that knows their fascia/suction cup protocols 😂 Reply me if you have recs for Rotterdam/Amsterdam and nearby.

You are so dismissive and so full of bullshit ...it's rather astounding...sorry...not sorry. Tell me guys... even between all the joking around (and the big words) OMG. I certainly didn't want to interrupt the arthrokinematic flow of this ...er...diatribe, even my computer didn't know this word...lol ...were you EVER going to get around to sharing some real advice that would've been even minimally helpful, say to someone that has facial paralysis such as myself?...no? Jesus Herold Christ, what a bunch of malarky. Mmmm k? are you still following me...lol. m..k? PS: Stay un-sticky.

Oh my goodness thank you SO MUCH ❤ I am not only a runner, but a server as well! So I am constantly on my feet. it got soo much worse recently with my current work shoes! I could barely walk around my apt this whole week, I am in PAIN! I have had calloused foot-balls for years and now understand exactly why! People like us just need to take the extra precaution! Change your insoles out frequently and spend the money on your well deserved hard working feet! ❤

this stiff is amazing. I came here to get info on the fascia & movement & I got way more information. thank you. this will help me when I'm a sliver sneakers instructor!

so helpful, so good

i love it

Great lecture! Thank you.

This is so informative about fascia and the more I learn about fascia the more I realize I was misdiagnosed with sciatica issues. I have been applying facsia tools and I have been brusing but feeling better, I do look like I was kicked by a bunch of goats but the way i see it the fascia is being released from the 'knots' and being they were probably wrapped tight around blood vessels, causing the bruising. I wish they'd had released this years ago - there woudl be so many people releaved of pain even.
I truly enjoyed this very informative video, thank you so much.

What would help me move smoother and more fluent? Like in sports. I’m stiff and rigid. I have a friend that glides and moves diff then everyone.

Great

Massage Therapists use these modalities as well!

You need to get ahold of Ashley Black and her Fasciablaster innovation’s. She found the connection from Fascia, and Pain. How to use these amazing tools, to fix it, and restore your fascia, skin, ultimately your body.

Effing brilliant.

Awesome explanation! Can't wait to try these techniques.

This is a great presentation. My only complaint is maybe stop using the word “kinda” As a filler. There is nothing “kind of” about your expertise!!!!!! :)
