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

not at all, I rarely believe anything in life boils down to just one thing. there are so many things that impact our fascial system because it’s so intertwined with all the other parts of us.

with the risk of sounding boring or redundant, the health of our fascia system is based on a lot of small and simple daily choices. things like sleep, nutrition, hydration, stress, dna, daily movement patterns and coping habits.

I’ve chosen to focus on myofascial release + daily movement patterns for my work because of how beneficial both have been for me personally. but I don’t want to pretend like these are the only two ways to decrease tension because this might not be the most ideal for every person.

here’s a few other modalities that have been noted to be beneficial for the fascia system to decrease persistent pain + feel more at ease.

• acupuncture
• cupping
• self-myofascial release
• thai yoga
• foam rolling
• vibration tools
• yin [or slower paced yoga]
• nutritional therapy
• meditation
• tai chi
• dance
• dry brushing

the idea with all of these is to introduce more movement + space into the body. sometimes we can do it on our own + sometimes it’s nice to have a little help from a professional.

2 minute subtle shift…

if you’re feeling stuck, tight, achy or tired of dealing with persistent pain I highly encourage you to pick one modality that seems the most intriguing to you AND the easiest to give it a try - just one time + see how it feels.

our pain isn’t going to change if we change nothing.

see you next week, Brooke ✌🏻
