diy a fascia focused movement plan!

if you know me at all you already know I’m a diy’er to my core. so it’s no surprise that this same mentality weaves into when I’m working with clients.

I want to provide all that I can so clients can diy their daily routines to benefit their fascial health. the goal of occupational therapy after all is to support people so much that they don’t need my services anymore. #sustainableindependence

a foundational truth about the fascial system is that so many variables impact it. yes hands on release from a practitioner is wonderful AND that is only part of the equation.

another big part that I love to focus on is how we move our bodies. remembering that our fascia is always responding, it’s crucial we move in ways that help us age with strength and ease.

I was listening to a podcast recently + my face lit up when I heard how she outlined a fascia focused movement plan. I couldn’t get to my computer fast enough, I’m so excited to share this.

over these next few posts I will be chatting about each part but for now I want to give the plan in it’s entirety. of course you know I made the plan into a cute visual that you can see here.

2 minute subtle shift…

let’s start diy’ing your movement plan.

after looking at the fascia focused plan here

  1. what is one fascia focused thing that you incorporate the most into your movement?
  2. what is one fascia focused thing you incorporate the least into your movement?

be sure make note of these + even better yet, reply and tell me what they are!

see you next week, Brooke ✌🏻

ps: the thing I do the most is stay pretty consistent with my movement during my weekly routines. the thing I incorporate the least is bouncing.

I don’t know if this is true but we’re going with it today… our fascia system really does operate the same way as the goldfish theory, only stretching to as big as the space it has. the situation is that we live a very ‘mid-range’ life:...

suburbanhippie.life a weekly series to learn a bit about the body + a subtle shift to start to apply the new knowledge diy consistent movement for your fascia the first thought I originally had when hearing the importance of being consistent with movement for the health of my fascia was “I workout 30 minutes a day, 4-5 days a week, I’m consistent, I’m good”. however the more I learn about fascia the more I’m starting to see consistency in a new light. I recently was introduced to some math...
