***at Sterling Structural Therapy, we think Ida Rolf and many other Fascia practitioners, have been doing BRILLIANT work for years!!! this presentation aims to educate the many people who have yet to "hear about Fascia" and to bring to light the new (roughly 10 years old) clinical laboratory research which is finally being done. Our hope is that Fascia will finally be more recognized by Allopathic medicine and added to standards of diagnostics and treatment.
At the age of 25 I was debilitated by chronic back pain to the point that I could barely walk. Now, 21 years later and having used my foam roller 3 times a day for over 10 years, I am ranked as one of the best track & field athletes for my age in the World. The pain hasn’t gone completely, but it’s so much better than it was.
Where did you get your foam roller?
@melindaforrester12 Amazon. They come in different lengths, some are highly textured for trigger point releases, and also come in either closed-cell foam (hard!), or open-cell foam which is better IMO. I'm a physical rehab occupational therapist and I use the open cell rolls.
I agree! I suffered from chronic joint pain and extreme knee stiffness until I started using a foam roller and now I don't suffer at all!
That’s incredible!!
Does anyone know of videos on how to use the foam roller. I have seen several, but I'm not sure if it resolves these pain issues.
I recently met a man who fell 30 ft, landed on his side and broke his back. Complete paralysis from the waist down. Was diagnosed to never be able to walk again. Two full-body, fascia releasing massages later (sessions/body work/not sure on the exact details) and he made a complete recovery.
Oh wow! My son needed that. His spinal C5&6 were bruised. He did start walking with braces until he gave up. He was so depressed about it. He died 03/08/2013. #JustinBagwell
@@audrey9640 rest in peace to your son, sending my love to you.
@@maxii95 thank you so much ❤️
Can you please, ask him what type of massage he did to recover?
@@irimiar fascia
Chinese medicine recognized the fascia 3,000 years ago. Everything is connected. Fascia is such a powerful tool in healing & health.
Can you go more into this? I have gone so deep into the exploration of my fascia I have spent the better part of my waking hours unwinding seeming 1000s of lumps of fascia surrounding my head tissue and I’ve slowly built a intuitive mastery of fascia without ever knowing what it was (found out last month ). So I’d love to know the energies within nature that seem to given me this intelligence.
@@oshofosho3900 it s called chi nei tsang
@@oshofosho3900, you should look into the ancient Chinese art of Qigong. It is all about developing healthy fascia and cultivating Qi (energy) through exercises with breath, body, and spirit.
Chinese traditional massage may help with fascia, but I can't find any evidence that Chinese medicine anatomically identified the fascia as separate from the muscular and skeletal structure. Do you have any evidence of that?
@@kriskhaira There is an overlap between the Chinese Medical meridian system and the newly determined 'fascial network'.The ancient Chinese knew there was connective tissue (ie fascia) pathways throughout the entire body. Each meridian represents a myofascial plane. On the flip side, the fascial planes replicate specific meridians.
I'm so glad that fascia is receiving its fair due. I've worked as a massage therapist for 25 years , and have always incorporated, and addressed fascia restrictions. We'll done.
25 years?? Hell yeah! I’m about 9 years in and I’ve been thinking I may need to reassess my approach for longevity in the field? Any tips?
@@Shmyrk worn hands?
@@Shmyrk for real
@@ShmyrkI use on my clients a Fasciablaster from Ashley Black. You might have seen it my now. It is an amazing tool to release fascia! 👌
This is FASCIAnating!
Too Cute! LOL
suffering. In the world
Well played
I see what you did there. Lol
Always somebody int there!haha.
This is why massage therapists study fascia in incredible detail. Sometimes all you need is myofascial release instead of medication for chronic musculoskeletal pain.
i love a happy ending too
I'm finding it hard to find a massage therapist who performs a technique that specifically targets the fascia? or is that what they all do anyway?
@@PeachPlastic specifically ask for myofascial release. All licensed therapists know it.
Learned all about fascia and its importance 30 years ago studying to practice massage therapy. I was humiliated by several doctors over the years for my work. It was as if they wanted me to feel like an idiot and proceeded to denigrate the entire profession. Witnessed many clients experience massive relief from receiving Myofascial release. As well, I experienced this relief myself after an injury from a fall made it so painful to sit. I can sympathize with the other individuals here that are pissed for the lack of recognition for our profession. One does hope that this will change.
It's shameful oversight of your profession. Massage works wonders! I am extremely grateful for LMTs. Professions should work together at solutions instead of defending their "camp" to the detriment of suffering patients.
Massage is great. I am an LMT, and when covid hit, there was a person on a FB page who sold coiled up copper wire nose rings, saying that since copper kills covid on contact (she even cited a Smithsonian Magazine article for proof), HER handmade copper nose ring will replace the (dreaded) mask. THAT is why our profession is not taken seriously. THAT is what is shameful. We will never be taken seriously until the snake oil ppl are separated from the professionals.
Chiropractor care kept my chronic pain controlled for eight years. It undoubtedly works.
I am waiting for the day when massage therapy will be covered by insurance. This is essential to healthcare, not a luxury service as some people believe.
You can't argue with success. All modalities should be covered by insurance & medicare. Allopaths have "0" success with chronic disease, pain & cancer. I'm tired of this horrible system. All pharmaceuticals & antibiotics cause a cascade of more problems, more drugs. At least these treatments do no harm. If it's hurting too much, stop. Find someone else. Just my opinion.♥️🤗
This place changed my life... Dancer. 20 years. Chronic problems solved in one week. No joke. Savannah, Georgia.
We love working with you Alonzo!
@@Life360Summit Can you give a recommendation for someone who lives in Dallas Texas and who they should see?
...Holy shit! This deserves front page coverage; teach it in elementary school or preschool. It cannot be overstated how underappreciated this topic is!
Thank you for your feedback
So true. After multiple neck surgeries I suffer from chest, shoulder, neck and general body pain. It feels like a pulling tension and I can not stretch it out. I saw a woman who treated fascia and although the treatments were painful, she was able to release the tension and pain.
Cured ?
That’s amazing, I’m so pleased for you, my own experience is similar to yours. The pain is debilitating. Prior to surgery I developed ongoing congestion which couldn’t be attributed to a virus or bacteria. The pulling sensation you describe was constant however no one could explain it, other than my surgeon who suspected it could be a Tension Headache. After 14 months of persistent fatigue and cognitive issues I was referred to a Cranial Osteopath; immediately after the first treatment I started to expel phlegm which was something I was unable to do for over a year. After 3 treatments it feels like I can breathe again and I’m continuing to clear the congestion. The osteopath has explained this improvement as a fascia release, I’m hopeful I’m now on the right track and able to continue to make improvements🕊️
"We are brilliantly designed." I agree.
Praise God!
Glory be to Allah
Incredible discovery that the Massage Community has been addressing for over 100 years.
Great explanation and demonstration for the Doctors in that room.
It's like white men ' discovered' the new world ! 😁😁
@Jeshua Satterlee Wrong.
Not all massage therapists know MFR techniques. It depends on where they went to school and if they haveva passion for elevating their skills through continuing education.
@@RnW9384 - That's what indoctrinated, white Marxissists say, being clueless about the entire world around them outside their political bubble. Now bugger off back to plebbit.
@@RnW9384 zing 😂
This is why I practice yoga everyday
It’s the only exercise I have found that actually heals the FASCIA, which is the FASCIAnating foundation of healing our other body systems! Thank you, Yoga!
I like what you did there ^^^
What style do you practice?
Check out FELDENKRAIS, it is EXTREMELY helpful in relieving--and avoiding-- chronic pain. Deals with fascia and all sorts of other things....totally. amazing and fabulous!
Yoga warms the muscles up it's awesome also I have sciatica n I pumped up on my outer thigh and I felt itching after a few hard times and I knew it was breaking up n healing nothing worked until I got these glass cupping I am not in any way a professional but I am saying this work's I couldn't walk much and at first it's like ugh but the pressure and you got to try or move the cups but as soon as id found the parts I bet it was like a few weeks and the healing is so what I am grateful for
So are you practicing Yoga or stretching and flexing, as practicing Yoga mainly means the spiritual aspect.
I am 10 years in and have become progressively more restricted in movement. This began for me following a couple of medical issues. It was difficult to describe what I sensed was happening inside my body. I remember telling someone that, something that is around the bones, isn't working. Now that I understand that there is an entire system (Fascia) working with the muscular & skeletal systems, I can move forward to research how to safely correct the damage.
So glad to be of help 🙏
Good, Zoe!
Does Pilates work on fascia? Seems to help stretching to full movement amplitude .
@@etheriumrise39 yes and yoga
Dr. Rolf was publishing and studying this during her life, and created a well codified modality before she died in 1979. Maybe the medical community is unfamiliar with her work, hence your comment, but fascial workers are fantastic and have been realigning bodies for more than 50 years. I'm glad you have joined us.
she quoted dr Rolf. "where you think it is, it ain't"
I love Rolfing. I’m thinking about going to her school in Boulder.
"Fascia apologists are forever trying to convince me that their fetish for this tissue is evidence-based, clinically relevant, and intellectually mature, and yet I just keep hearing stories like this (paraphrased anecdote from a reader, who was horrified):
"I nearly broke my hand, and I’ve been recovering from that injury. My physiotherapist was treating it with some massage. She described the technique as ‘fascial release,’ and warned me about a possible side effect: ‘You might feel sad, or even start to cry,’ she said.
"Any health care may involve sadness and crying, but 'fascial release' is not emotional: being cared for, touched, and manipulated is emotional. Occasionally. But it’s probably not emotional for 99% of patients who just want some rehab help after a wrist sprain. Emphasizing sadness as 'side effect' of fascial release in that scenario requires a bizarre meltdown of clinical communication priorities. It wasn’t said because it mattered to the patient - it was pure marketing, a bullet point about the potency and specialness of fascial release." - from _Does Fascia Matter? A detailed critical analysis of the clinical relevance of fascia science and fascia properties_
@@ReflectedMilesemotions are directly linked to body sensations. Trauma, regardless of its cause, resides in the body. It’s not quackery or marketing.
Also, you provided the name of the article but did not link to the journal or provide other information. This article could just as easily be an outlier as it is a well-respected and commonly acknowledged publication of research
Also, most scientific publications do not « debunk » in such a manner. That’s a big hint to me as to whether I should take the article seriously. But even so, I wouldn’t discount it until I knew more about it.
@@msamantham It is an extensive critique, which a simple copy-and-paste Google search, from the title I gave, pulls up as the first result. The critique itself is anything but a peer-reviewed journal piece. It is a rant about what has / has not been established objectively. I quoted from a summary but the many references are in the piece itself. In my experience, YT disallows links from most sources. (It just ghosts posts that include them.)
This makes a lot of sense. I fell down a very steep embankment about 22 years ago. I did not have health insurance so I basically rubbed some dirt on my injuries and got back on with life. About 25 years later and many hours spent working on my feet, I was is so much pain I could not continue to perform my job on the sales floor. I thought my 10 year career was over. I had three nervous breakdown and lost my job. I found a new sales job, but the pain continued. After meeting the love of my life I was convinced I needed to see a chiropractor. I was shown my X-rays revealing a severe case of arthritis in my spine and hips. Both of my grandfathers had spent the majority of their declining years in easy chairs, not able to move about freely due to extensive arthritis. Thus began my dedication to chiropractic care. The chiropractic gave me a good deal of relief. Still, the pain lingered and I felt as though I was unwinding some other type of pressure. So I began to think about this now decades old injury and how it had unfolded. I did not tumble down the hill gracefully. I actually folded one ankle, lept off of that ankle sprung into the air and began a baseball pitch like long jump into a free fall that landed in a near split. My arm was moving so fast I still remember the crack of my wrist snapping like a whip. Because of a total lack of care and years working on my feet the injuries just compounded. I keep,up with chiropractic and have recently added some yoga to my morning stretching and self care routine. This has been a game changer for me. I am determined to heal my body and finish out my sales career as I do not have another marketable skill at this time. I would appreciate any tips on how to improve my flexibility.
So sorry you’re still dealing with some pain 🙏 respectfully we cannot give any advice without proper evaluation, we hope that makes sense 🙏
I've had severe neck pain at the right base of my skull for like six years, and it got even worse after a thyroidectomy three years ago to the point of causing nausea and dizziness. I started PT in January, and while other areas like my lower back and shoulders were significantly improving (which helped my trust in my PT), the neck pain would not go away no matter what we did even months later. My PT eventually pulled out her old textbooks lol and discovered fascial exercises that she tried. A week later I had like a 60% improvement in the pain. I could NOT believe it, but it made so much sense why NOTHING would alleviate the pain - not even Motrin, oxytocin, or muscle relaxants. This stuff is no joke and I'm so grateful for my PT's willingness to dig into her resources and unearth this gem of a find because it's literally changed my life.
Thank you so much for the work you've done, the demonstration of the fascia suit was BRILLIANT, and I'm actually sending this to my PT's office because I think it will be incredibly useful.
We love hearing that our presentation helped 🙏
So sorry to hear about what you have been through.
What's the name of that textbook?
I have severe neck pain in the same area from an automobile accident. It's been almost seven years and I'm still struggling daily to manage the pain. Could you share the fascial exercises that helped?
I'm curious about the exercises you did for that
If the fascia release doesn’t last long, you probably have CCI (cranio cervical instability) like me, so you should look up my doctor at the Centeno Schulz Clinic. He has a procedure to strengthen the ligaments to cause the spine to have too much mobility which causes the fascia to restrict.
I'm just learning about this. During the 10 years of pain every day, I've had all the tests, seen a load of consultants and only now has someone suggested it could be this. I'm hoping this will lead me to some relief.
God bless you 🙏
I hope you find relief , Soon as well !!
Do you know about anti inflammatory diets ? Here's a great video !
ruclips.net/video/szIUeYWRFN8/видео.html
Also look up Dr Joe Dispenza and Dr Bruce Lipton- Biology of Belief!!
Look up Sonima Pete Egoscue. The simplest exercises, which, instead of trying to target and meddle with the obvious location of sensation simply cultivates spontaneously alignment no matter what your symptoms are. Most people overlook it because it's so simple and it works over the course of 2-4 weeks, but I have seen people going from pillar to post trying every therapy under the sun pain free in the space of only 2 weeks. Contact me if you want advice. I teach courses in 7th generation calibrated wellness.

So the Fascia is "shrink wrap". I have Fibromyalgia & this explains it so well. It's so hard to explain it to people. And yes it hurts every single day. It definitely feels like everything is tightening up. There are other symptoms that goes with it so everything just piles up & you go into pain overload.
Twist fascia thumb ginger till pops like velcro
I’m a mineral analysis practitioner fibro is a mineral issue look at sassyholistics online search in her page for chronic pain she has a great post. She’s also a mineral practitioner it’s pretty vital and mind blowing if o I’m so thankful I learned it
@@Truerealism747 🤐
I have it too. I just started Cymbalta for it today. Wish me luck. I've had it for years. I explain it like this sometimes. We feel pain that isn't there and we feel pain that is there more severely.
@Missy Lee I hope it works for you. Cymbalta didn't help me but some people found relief. And some had side effects from Cymbalta but they said after 3-4 months they went away. You really just have to find what works for you. For me, a 12 hr pain medication, a muscle relaxer & medication for neuropathy made a big difference. But I also have back problems that add into my pain level . I wish you luck & good health !!
I suffered from a superficial backline fascia retraction from between my eyes to the back of my head, and I can’t stop crying as I watch this because no one understands or even believes me
I’ve been saying for a decade that somebody needs to study my body because I may one in 1 trillion case and I am not getting better and I’m suffering so badly that I’m literally crying watching someone talk about fascia.
I’m not sure how to contact you. I looked it up on Twitter now called X and found nothing so I’m leaving this message. In hopes it’s someone important enough or understanding enough will read it and possibly reach out.
Thank you for your time with us

Hi Did you contact them ?
I am 25 yrs as LMT. I am a fascial specialist. I work with the kenetic energy from its weblike network and spiral chains. I have studied Lawrence Wood Neuro Resert Therapy, Fascial Release, myofascial release, fasciablasting, reiki, chi gong, emotional fascia release, your data is myopic and limited. I have done 30,000+ hands on therapy with great success and there are many ways for the body to heal- being well rounded in multiple modalities a therapist
Osteopathy has also been working with fascia for quite awhile now as well. Working with stretches, exercises and treatments that respect this is vital. It is good that they are thinking in a more holistic view.
I'm delighted to see that this subject seems fascia-nable now. I was learning about this in 1990 with Frank Sills, a New Yorker in England. He'd learned from Frank Lake and others in the States perhaps 20 years before that.
Great pun!
@@ark194 Thanks Ark! I'm not known as The Punmeister for nothing.
Dana I totally agree. I've been working on fascia for 20 years now. This is a serious limitation in medicine
For someone who studied Massage Therapy. Massage Therapist should have been mentioned more in this great talk. Fascia restrictions is a common occurrence for the clients of Massage Therapists. Massage Therapist use a technique that rolls the skin to help release fascia restrictions, it's my favorite modality.
This makes so much sense, it definitely needs bringing into schools a long side learning about the skeleton and muscles. Also have a lateral pelvic tilt and a torn medial meniscus and I will tell anybody that walking has been no treat for me
WOW. she gave us the title and short synopsis of a densely-packed volume of information. bravo!
Great to hear this. I was diagnosed with CRPS in 2017 and wouldn’t believe this was for life with no cure. I did all my research and had every holistic therapy I could including myofascia release treatment and Bowen Therapy and believe both jphelped me to heal
Amazing presentation - still convinced that is my problem. As one ages, it gets worse but I am not convinced I have arthritis or my muscles are this sore. I even had an expensive muscle and nerve test which showed both my nerves and muscles were functioning just fine - but had some “pinched” nerves. Fascia release is key - and people need educated on this. Thank you for this great presentation.
We need to talk more about fascia in lots of sectors of science, medicine and therapy
And research. There needs to be quality research validating the properties of fascia and then effective treatment modalities if they exist. This should happen before any modality is practiced in the clinical setting, yet it is not the case with fascia.
The power of this knowledge and the freedom that it implies will surely improve the quality of life for most.
Thanks for sharing
Paul49myspace thank you for feedback 😊
Physical therapy and yoga is helping my issues. I’m working on the diamond in my low back. So grateful there are options and people who understand this system!
I agree. My MRI came back with such grim news. The surgeons were itching to proceed. But I told them their ideas were like Medieval torture and I'll have none of it. It's years later and I'm still doing Yoga and Figure Skating. You just gotta do what feels right.
I have been getting fascia therapy for 2 years and my posture has changed so much for the better, I recommend this therapy for anyone who has back pain shoulder and neck pain!! I live in Orlando Florida. Joel is amazing 😉!
As an LMT and energy worker, I get more compliments from my clients in saying how years of prescription that never helped but seeing them less than a year, it changes for them.
I think I just discovered why I’ve been in pain for 22 years. Omg thank you
Been dealing with this for 10 years and I wojld tell my old PCP that I know its my fascia and she would just say well nothing shows on your MRI, Found a new PCP and she definitely believes my fascia has so much to do with my chronic pain because I am so tight and have to do trigger point injections. I'm grateful for my new dr in believing in homeopathic ways of healing along with western medicine.

I think I just actually fell in love with this lady of knowledge and insights. VERY WELL DONE!!! Nicholas
I have started excercising with free weights and squatting for a month now and have been feeling pain in my knees, specially the right knee. A gym coach showed me how to smr using theracane, a small ball and foam roller. Dang it helped so much with body pains and soooo happy I no longer have problem with my knee! I am so hopeful with the l5 to s1 protrusion and a mild narrowing. I'll keep doing this everyday now!
Due to breast cancer, I had a single mastectomy on my left side, immediate reconstruction and 26 rounds of radiation. The implant made me sooooo sick and lopsided. They told me it would get better but it only got worse. After finally getting it removed, my entire body has become a facia nightmare. I feel like I’m trapped in a glass prison for eternity. Cannabis helps me cope with the pain, but I honestly wish I died from cancer because I hate being in my body. I’m not living. I’m barely alive…This video demonstrates exactly what I felt was going on. Thanks for info.
So sorry to hear that 😔 we recommend reaching out to us, we offer a free 45 minutes virtual consult 🙏 sterlingstructuraltherapy.com/
I’m sincerely sorry you’re going through this and hope things start to look better for you soon
What state are you in?
Ok, I was hoping she'd give away some exercises or tricks. I'm a results-driven massage therapist and I've known about fascia since the beginning of my body work studies 15 years ago. I talk to my clients about it all the time and educate them on how to keep their fascia happy and loose. One of the advices I give is "dance more!" It's all about movement. Do you work on a desk? Get up and go up and down the stairs a couple of times every 1 or 2 hours. Stretch every morning like animals do (they know!).
Move it!
The Functional Patterns training methodology is all designed with this concept in mind. Absolutely amazing
Excellent video to bring hope and encouragement to so many people. The body is truly an amazing and beautifully created.
James Cyriax , Davis G. Simons, John Barnes and Janet Travell for decades were sounding the drum of Myofascial pain and dysfunction. Great video. Thank you.
& Aaron Mattes ;)
THANK YOU for these references!
She’s not saying that Fascia was just discovered, she’s saying that the medical research only has about 15 years behind it. Yes this info is not new per se. I’m dealing with these issues myself at the moment. It’s fascinating
fascinating fascia :) Suspect they are related linguistically :) Attraction, connection...

I am experiencing this pain today, seeing a great chiropractor. You have explained what needs to happen to alleviate my extreme pain.. Thank you so much for clarifying this condition for me!
A great massage therapist would also help a lot!
GO see an osteopath
I had plantar fasciitis for 5 years and it was excruciating. Finally free of it after “release” of tightness in calf,thigh and hip along with scraping of scar tissue in the foot. I feel like it took those 5 years of my life. Love that this Avenue of medicine is being explored more deeply.
@devilslide01 What did you do to "release" the tightness? I'm also a Plantar Fasciitis sufferer.
@@tguevara5 look up the “Graston method” . They probably don’t recommend you doing yourself on this channel, but there’s a kid with a video that explains it perfectly using a large wrench( no joke) . Watch the video several times to make sure you fully understand so you don’t cause more damage.

@@devilslide01 yes there is stress tightens facia and fear.anxiety from sns
This is such great information !
It has explained a lot about my chronic pain ... thank you so much ! 👍🏼💪🙏
Thank you for making this video. Why in the world are doctors and therapists not talking about this to their patients?! And, including therapies for muscle pain that treat the root of the problem which stem from fascia? I tell ya why, they won’t be getting kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies and neither will certain congressional members. Thanks for getting this out here. This is revolutionary!!
Ida Rolf began her work on the fascia in the 1940's. So the knowledge and the practice of structural interagration of the fascia, the muscles and bones has been practiced for many decades. Find a Rolfer in your community if you want to experience this integration process.
sean j Great point yes Ida Rolf pioneered Fascia way I had of her time... in this presentation my hope is to bring this kind of work more into the forefront ... I hope one day this is not considered an alternative treatment but simply a part of assessment evaluation and traditional treatment
stacey brown you are a brave one ;) and sooo knowledgeable, nothing like internet “anonymity” from which to throw rocks slings and arrows ;) have a great day
I recall heaeing that Rolfing can be painful and intense.
@@stephenpowstinger733 I had a massage teacher from Russia. She taught us Russian Massage. In Russia they use massage strokes to accomplish different things in the body. It was a blessing to learn under her. When doing massage you need to start strokes out gently at first or your body will tense up if you start out hard. It should not be a really painful experience if done correctly. You also need to drink lots of water because toxins may be released.
@@stephenpowstinger733 Yes, rolfing is super painful. Not everyone's cup of tea.
A great demonstration that can help people understand how their health care provider/body worker is going to help them.
Charlie Bradley thank you for your feedback 😊🙏
Miranda Esmonde White's classes has also taught stretching fascia,ligaments,muscles.....all!!!! 25yrs ago we first saw her speak on PBS. 👍
So grateful for our fantastic osteopath!
I've become fascianated ;) by fascia almost 2.5 yrs ago via Ashley Blacks Fascia Blaster.... I have 4 of her tools and they are amazing!!! I use the face blaster on my scalp (and face) and my hair has grown so much.
I was blessed to have had a therapist who did fascial massage . Of course it’s not taught in PT curriculum
It is in massage school!
I love this explanation. As a small animal massage therapist, we were taught how to release fascia in animals. I've witnessed dogs with with back problems completely change their gait at the session, and dog owners report back a few days later that their dog was running around later as if they were younger. I worked on a dachshund for a couple of years and after the fascia release(along with some acupressure), the dog would go from scooting her hind legs along the floor to walking. At 3 minutes you talk about how our college anatomy/physiology classes called the fascia connective tissue a packaging-this is so true. In my vertebrate anatomy classes we dissected a variety of mammals, including humans, and we were told to cut it away. Now, I've learned that this connective tissue may even be part of the electrochemical communication system of the body, even explaining the magnetic vortexes in the chakra areas. Planning to share this video.
It is my belief that fascia is where we connect the physical and spiritual dimensions, where spiritual energies are received and processed.
Read the book "The Spark in the Machine" by Dr Daniel Keown for info?
@@suegarbett1 Thank you!!
I literally just wrote in my journal, “Does forward head position cut us off from source by disturbing the electrical communications between mind/body/heart?” It is ALL about the fascia!!!
@@Hungryforpresence it's a fascinating subject. I was told about that book when I attended a Qi Going workshop. I think that you're right about the physical/spiritual connection.
a million thumbs up from this RN and pt in need
I'm learning this as much as possible. I have IT band syndrome in my left knee. Couldn't walk down hill or stairs without intense pain. Xrays and mri showed nothing. My 3rd PT explained to me the issue with the fascia on my pelvis was the cause. Now im back to running trails and hiking. This knowledge is amazing and is only going to get better.
Bub77 ALL you needed was your PT to explain & you’re back running? Wow please provide their name 😉 Seriously though, what’s the secret? Clearly you did a lot of work? And what was the most successful?
Walking up stairs is almost impossible for me due to the pain. How do I fix this? What did you do?
@@sharonfreiburg8234 look up IT band specific stretches and do them.. multiple times a day. Voltaren gel is now over the counter and it helps alot. Use 3 to 4 times a day. A hard foam roller with full byody weight from hip to knee helps to elongate the fascia. Also, this product helped greatly: Pro-Tec Athletics IT Band Compression Wrap
How often did you foam roll? 1x day every other day?? Thx
BRAVO! This is a perfect illustration. The Fascia suit just genius, thank you very much.
thank you :)
I agree love it ..shared on facebook thanks
connie rendfrey thank you for spreading the word 🙏😊

Great work. I have noticed when doing execises that where the pain is, it is not neccesserily where the problem is.
4:01 “Fascia does not show up in X-ray, MRIs or CT scans”. Interesting!
Shows up in the nervous system, that's for sure.
My MRI showed thousand of stigmates. They show up as hypersignal. My physiotherapist/acupunturer says it's all the bonds that occured between fascias connections when inflammation is chronic.
Showed up on EMG for me after years of misdiagnosis because of back issues.
@@olecomova have you found any relief?
@@cydneymetz yes, but not completely yet. The healing process will probably last my whole life considering where i'm coming from. Many factors, in both body and soul, are involved. But a quick list in order of magnitude would be: fasting, juicing/raw food, cold therapy/ derivative bath, deep tissue massaging, yoga/stretching, psilocybin micro dosing, RELAX!!!
💖 Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful understanding of fascia and giving us sufferers hope for healing 🤗💞
Diana Boughner 😊🙏
I am working on my Fascia and hoping I will not need the surgeries my Scans show I need. The way the suit was pulled on to show the tightness of the fascia is how I feel daily, I have lost so much range of motion in right arm and get migraines often. I'm grateful for my good PCP that very much believes its my fascia and doing everything to help get me better and to actually feel like a 38 years old.
Ida Rolf and those of us trained in her approach have been successfully treating musculoskeletal issues chronic and acute for 60 years. Rolfing Structural Integration is still the most effective method out there.
What a fascinating presentation! THANK YOU
Great video! This and Kelly Starrets videos have helped me fix myself and when I can’t - they’ve empowered me with enough know how to explain to my physio what needs doing. Thanks for the share, probably one of the most important videos for anyone who loves sport and want’s to maintain an active lifestyle
jonny Harrison Watch Dr. John Gibbons (MET) if you haven’t already.
I love your presentation and wonderful attitude; thank you so much!
😊🙏
This demonstrates what my body has been doing for three decades. This is exactly how I have been describing what I have experienced this whole time, but doctors don't think about the body this way. I've been working with a kinesiologist who has a better understanding, but this might help take it to the next level. I am more hopeful than ever that I might finally be pain-free and be able to do the things I want to do.
How are you doing now?
It works..after a fall from a horse I was in knots and went to a guy in SA..absolutely amazing, it was like someone turned a key and released everything
I'm crying while watching this because I have chronic lower back pain for 3 years....
Jenna, theres a possibility you do not need to live with this pain 🙏!!

Please feel free to reach out to us to ask any questions 🙏🙏
I had some temp acute lower back pain, I found some lower back stretches, and that's what seemed to fix it for me. I recommend looking into that
Holy crap, the first thing she did to monsieur fascia is almost exactly what I have. I have severe neck and shoulder pain for over 2 years by now. Never thought of the fascia because it literally never shows on MRIs!
How are you now
Great how is your current status?
How are you doing now?
Impressive results...you look great & you have shared some great tips. Thanks

VIP Chiropractic thank you 😊
@@SterlingStructuralTherapy..... I am so happy to find your channel.... I am not a doctor but i feel and understand every single word you said about this important issue that many doctors know nothing about..... I fixed my knee pain through understanding Fassia principles.... I will not miss any thing you post.... Many thanks Maam
The fascial work is already existing since decades, not in the conventional medical field ( usually it takes a bit longer for the allopathic doctors and school to recognize that something non invasive can work 🤭).
Have you hear of Rolfing?. I’m glad that finally they are paying attention to such an important system. Thanks for the way you pass the knowledge, very clear and illustrative.
thank you for your feedback Ana :)
The Alexander Technique is certainly overlooked by modern medicine too
" it takes a bit longer for the allopathic doctors and school " ... how diplomatic.
The drug pushers are corrupt.
Thank you for share this amazing information and making it so simple to understand!
Thank you for explaining Fascia..
Fantastic lecture! Well done, and thank you for very clearly explaining the topic.
Virginia Tatom thank you 😊
Very interesting ! I have EDS and it's very complicated to be understood by doctors because they are based on exams (X-ray, MRI,CT scans).
Life changing information and beautifully demonstrated
I’m a massage therapy student and I’m finishing up my second portion of anatomy and physiology. This video is amazing! Super helpful to help someone understand how everything is connected and if one thing is off, it can really mess with other things! Thank you for this.
Also, I got so emotional when Samantha’s story came up and seeing her now😭
🙏🙂
Excellent presentation and very meaningful information that has been ignored for years.
Thank you Joe 🙂
@@SterlingStructuralTherapy You're welcome.
11:35 I cheered for Samantha
sounds like a cough but Samantha, that is nothing less than a miracle! Congrats to her!
I am rehabilitating from several injuries. Got Thai massage for fascia release. Helped major.
An absolutely exquisite and brilliantly crafted tutorial that explains soooo much. The missing link that explains so much in humans and the horses I work wth. Thank you Dana ❤
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙏🙏🙂
Structural Integration (Rolfing) has been around for decades and works with the fascia.
absolutely, Ida Rolf was brilliant and ahead of her time. However clinical research in the laboratory on Fascia is only about 10+ years old, the intention of our presentation was to inform on this kind of research, our hope is to one dayl add Fascia to more allopathic medicine's methods of pain diagnostics and treatment.
With respect, why is ida Rolf not mentioned in your presentation as she is the catalyst for this work?
Diana Cummins That is a very valid question and in hindsight I absolutely should have mentioned her. I was more focused on the new emerging clinical research that was being done because I see it as a crucial piece to validate the work that has been done for decades. Hope that makes sense :)
I only found out that I have almost an extremely tight and dense facia after a therapist used rolfing on me 27 years ago. It was very intense but also the only way I found and can get relief. It is difficult to find a practioner so the only other relief came from continued deep yoga stretching.
I’m still learning about all of this and I must say, it has saved my life. I get discouraged when trying to explain to my loved ones the benefit of myofascial release therapy but they doubt the legitimacy.
I'm in the UK. Doctors here don't believe in fascia release. They don't even know what I'm talking about. They're happy to diagnose me with M.E and Fibromyalgia, but Myofascial problems? No it's all in my head.
@@shonamcwilliam4171 I get the same treatment. I’m sorry that those hacks don’t take you seriously 😒.I wish I could show the skeptics what I’ve seen and what I’ve felt. I feel 10 years younger, the function and appearance of my body has shifted drastically.
What is the source from which I can learn this؟
Explains a lot on the possible reason for my pain. Thank you!
🙏
Wow! That is so inspiring. Thank you.
Ancient systems of healing have been dealing with fascia for thousands of years. Chi packing in qigong. Fascia is fascinating
Any examples?
@@mv8908 I had mentioned qi gong as one such system that works with the fascia
Interesting approach! I am interested in learning more. Everything in our bodies is connected, nothing happens in a bubble so it makes sense.
omg this gave me so much more hope, thank you guys for posting this
thanks again....Still fighting but thanks to this video helping me understand my body and my own home therapy with a golf ball I can get up from bed and move around a little more everyday.
I read Anna Crowles paper on biotensegrity. This area is just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this Sterling Structural Therapy. You explained it so well
😊🙏
Best explanation of fascia I’ve ever seen! Love the suit, it really helps to envision what’s happening in the body.
Rachel Mejia yeah, she makes it seem so simple with the visuals. The Doctors always want to inject you or shove pills down your throat & never explain anything & when asked specific questions, they say ‘I don’t know’, it is really appalling how much people suffer, when they could just explain this & point you in the right direction instead of trying to hack you up & get you addicted to opiates!
@@HeadNtheClouds So true.
"The point of my story is...." that this is just one long Advertisement...and we are not going to show you even one technique that you could do yourself to help yourself...but just sign up to 'SST'.... So, for those of you who wish to actually try something on your own: 'creative' stretching, i.e. finding stretches and movements that specifically stretch / tear the scar tissues in the fascia. As a former gymnast I long ago discovered that 'creative stretching' (my term) can alleviate injuries that seemed to be permanent and progressive, e.g. everything from Achilles tendon, to hips, to shoulders, elbows...and lower back (though with the back and the shoulders I also found that BioFlex laser and some chiropractic therapy were helpful). Your welcome.
thank you for your feedback :) this was absolutely intended as both education & promotion. The idea was to educate about Fascia, and promote SST, so that people are aware of just one of many effective alternatives to surgery and drugs that exist out there.
Yin yoga is also a good way to explore fascia self care.
I am 65 and my hip was just getting worse...I started limping...it hurt to sit..to walk..everyone said.."your just getting old"..no way was I going to go down that dead end path...took a lot of research..(good for my mind)..and tried a whole bunch of stuff...took about 3 months of steady stretching, hot pads...massage...snd it worked...and now when my hip gets tight I know what to do...this is great for us all to watch..and fun
Sterling Structural Therapy Exactly. Feldenkrais is excellent help. As is yoga of course and there are different types. There are different types of massage as well. Then there’s osteopathy too. So there is a way to improve and you need only find and give a method that works for you a chance to do so. Unless one prefers to only complain, which is their right, I guess, though it’s a waste of energy, of theirs and others’. Cheers:)
in my early forties i compounded some TFL/hip issues with crosslegged sitting in the cold, and have taken my hip through a progressive series of conditions over several years to recover motion and reduce pain. i kind of figure i got a head start on aging, because the psoas and glutes become atrophied from sedentary lifestyles and i don't see any popular diagnosis of this. stretching, "child's position" in yoga, exercise, deep, painful massage, avoiding western medicine both conventional and flaky.. found a remarkably effective sciatica treatment at chinesefootreflexology, one minute of pressure, a year now of relief..
lavender oil is great for clearing skin and promoting growth of new tissue, also gives men breasts so avoid chest or prolonged use. (women looking for breast enlargement should use fenugreek (prolactin) not phytooestrogens.)
My first set of massages (the one-off works before didn't do any harm but I needed more) were about five years ago, and it amazes me now that medicine was ignoring this even in the last half of the last century given the enormous relief that I got over two months.
So glad you got relief 🙏
The suit makes it so clear😊 wonderful info
I have been using The MELT Method and it has tremendously helped with my chronic pain.
Love the MELT method, sooo helpful and easy to follow
Oh how I wish more medical personal understood and would recommend treatment in this area.
Thank You & resonates with me; Spinal issues due Sacrum injury (now Sciatica) & physical therapy only once per week has gotten no where for me! Feel like a "Herded Cow" following Sterile orders! Haven't driven my car since March 2020! Nothing Personal about it towards who I am!!!
Ready to GO!! So thankful the word Fascia sprung to my mind today!!
Look up “PRP/ stem cell” groups on Facebook. PRP helped me avoid surgery. Cervical bulging disks.
Fascism and fascia massage, my 2 favourite things!
My niece sent me this YT video to watch due to my chronic pain I am experiencing from getting hit by a car 4 years ago. Looks like I will be giving them a call.
We look forward to hearing from you 🙏
Did you work with them? Did you improve?
