week #2 - fascia facts friday 💌


suburbanhippie.life

a weekly series to learn a bit about the body + a subtle shift to start to apply the new knowledge

where is fascia located in my body?

fascia is located in every nook in your body. from toes to nose, from skin to bone and everywhere in between.

there’s literally no place in your body that doesn’t have fascia…it’s even in your head + brain.

think of fascia as the home inside of you for all other muscles, organs, fluids, nerves, arteries, etc. to live.

just like a home has different rooms connected for different things, our fascia creates ‘rooms’ to help organize the different systems in our body.

your fascia home helps to both organize + connect everything inside your body.

2 minute subtle shift...

do 2 slow gentle head rolls and notice how good it feels in your neck.

do 3 more just as slow and notice how other parts of your body start to feel good too…even though they’re not technically moving.

that’s the beauty of fascia being everywhere, the benefits + sensations are traveling through the connected fascia.

see you next week, Brooke ✌🏻

if you wanna experience more of the connective-ness of fascia you might try an express myofascial release offered by yours truly 🥰

the problem isn't pain... how we’ve been trained to think about pain is mostly wrong and I’m here to share another perspective. so many people [myself included sometimes] are focused on getting rid of their pain. as if the pain is only there to cause a problem and it needs to be erased. but by erasing the pain we’re removing a pivotal tool and essential communication role embedded in our fascial system. because pain is one way of our bodies can tell us about ourselves. pain is language, it is...

your psoas + your fascia one of the biggest take-aways I hope you get from reading the things I share is that everything is connected thru the fascial system. we are not separate parts assembled together like a car. rather all of our parts are grown out of one seed like a plant. we grow within the the fascial system and the fascia is continually adjusting, organizing, supporting and connecting all of our parts. so when we’re in pain or feeling strong or unbalanced or just going through the...
