Podcasts about fascial release

Maria Alfieris is a Physical Therapist, Myofascial Master, & Reiki Virtuoso. She brings her gifts & talents of healing through Fascial Release which she has been teaching for 40 years. She offers a series of courses in Myofascial Mobilization which she incorporates into her work of understanding of emotional causation of disease & dysfunction. Her healing workshops around the world are designed to blend her knowledge & experience of physical therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, energy healing, & her spiritual trainings. Through hands on techniques, she guides you toward freeing your fascia which helps you release patterns of emotional & physical pain that have been holding you back from reaching your full wellness potential. Fascia is a continuous web of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, organs, and nerves throughout the body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, movement, and communication between different systems in the body. When fascia becomes tight, restricted, or develops adhesions due to injury, stress, poor posture, or inflammation, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.Today, Maria and Sasha sat down to explore her personal journey, and professional experience with integrative and functional bodywork. We don't shy away from the spiritual aspect of healing the body, and Maria certainly does not shy away from expressing her authentic shakti energy as she shares her wisdom. We are blessed to have a teacher like her, traveling the world, integrating the healing of mind, body and spirit, and offering this knowledge to everyone who seeks freedom from chronic pain and stored trauma. Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram

Join Christina and Chernell as they talk about the ins and outs of massage therapy. The common reason people end up at the massage therapist is chronic pain in back and neck especially when they sit for prolonged periods of time. The problems caused by this are disc herniations and compression of the nerves, which causes muscle imbalances, tightness. The body doesn't get stimulated enough which can lead to weakness and pain. They discuss office culture and what companies can do to positively impact employee wellness. Massage therapists can help work on tight muscles, but also give homecare to help extend the practice beyond the table. Movement and Massage They are one in the same. Massage is movement of the tissues. The circulation, fluid, oxygen and nutrients get moved around also. When you get up to stand your muscles are contracting and fluids are moving through the body. For example, if you want to give your lungs a little mini massage, you can take a deep breath and expand your lungs and open up your chest. Both active and sedentary people benefit from massage. More active people can use massage to help with tight muscles, increase flexibility and prevent injury. Sedentary people benefit by relieving aches and pains and improving circulation and swelling. Types of Massage Therapy There are many types of massage and include: Swedish, aromatherapy that introduces oils and scents which is highly effective for anything going on mind body, shiatsu, which is more deeply pointed pressure on trigger points. Hot stone, Fascial Release, this is when you release the fascia and help break down scar tissue. Then there is Thai massage that involves more stretching. What is an RMT? Registered Massage Therapist is a person trained in massage and who is governed by a regulatory body. RMTs have standards, a scope of practice, and require a health history to determine contraindicates to treatment. Massage and Emotions Massage is an excellent way to release and move energy like grief and stress through the body.. We have to take into consideration, whether you will let it build up to the point where it starts to start conditions, pain and disease, or you find a way to release and let it out. There is a connection in your body to the emotions that you are experiencing. Emotions are like chemical reactions. Whether you are acutely aware of it or not, emotions will cause a reaction in your body. Stress, cortisol, your nervous system, and your hormones are all intertwined. Massage and Mental Health Mental health challenges can be obstacles to getting up to move. Massage can be a catalyst to moving. If you can't get up to move, or you don't know how to start or where to start, sometimes a massage, just getting the blood pumping and muscles moving is a great place to start. Massage can start the circulation, blood flow and will start to relax the nervous system, which is going to allow improved digestion and gut health. There is research to show that when the muscles are contracting they function like their own endocrine system and they trigger the release of myokines which are like antidepressants. The Importance of Touch sdlIsolation is detrimental. Human beings are meant to live in community with one another working together. As adults, we forget that even as we age, we still need that physical touching connection, we need that to survive and thrive. Contact Chernell Instagram Web Contact Christina Studio

'Just say yes to never giving up your passion and you will retain your health, both mentally and physically.'  (Steven Radiloff ) We discuss how body alignment through fascial release counters muscle tension and helps you retain a healthy range of motion after active exercise. Steven Radiloff, Certified Advanced Rolfer, trained at the Rocky Mountain Healing Arts Institute and the Rolf Institute, where he obtained his advanced rolfing certification. For over 40 years, Steven has integrated modalities of energy healing, and craniosacral therapy into his rolfing practice, to create a total approach to health and wellbeing through the mind-body connection. Steven was one of the key  people who helped me recover from spinal surgery so that I could once again become the dancing doc and active, optimistic, entrepreneurial person that I am today.   Steven suggests that Rolfing aligns your body by freeing fascial tissues from surrounding muscle and enhances freedom and range of movement. Movement is key, keep mentally and physically active.

This episode is an interview with licensed massage therapist Kristy Burtenshaw. Kristy discusses the role that fascia plays in the physiological and emotional process of birth, and how our words play an important supporting role in that process.

Fascial release and mobility is crucial for every body because it can heal pain, increase range of motion, prevent injury, improve performance, and provide muscular balance. Learn what fascia is, why it is important for us to include in our weekly exercise routine, and the variety of methods available to release it. If you have body pain, are an athlete, have restricted range of motion or tight muscles, or want to prevent injury and promote muscle balance, fascial mobility exercises are excellent for all of these. Jody shares her years of experience as an exercise specialist and the new found knowledge she gained from experts in fascia. You will learn about the variety of methods one can choose from to release their fascia both with professionals and on your own. If you do not currently include mobility or release exercises in your weekly fitness routine, hear how to begin now and where to start.

Rob describes how MFR works and the benefits of this type of body work.

Tony Brink 1400 West Walnut Street Suite 117 Rogers, AR 72756 Phone: 479-633-8433   At Essential Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork we understand that no two people are alike.  Our goal is to provide a variety of holistic therapies that will complement you and your lifestyle.   Each massage is tailored to meet your specific needs.  We believe wellness is found when we learn to balance our body, mind & spirit.  Through relaxation and pain relief we can help you achieve this balance.   Swedish massage is the most common type of massage. If you are new to massage it is a great place to start. During a session your therapist will combine traditional techniques characterized by stroking, kneading, friction, and sometimes percussion. Swedish massage reduces muscular tension, enhances circulation, and leaves you with an overall sense of well-being.   Hot Stone massage incorporates the benefits of heat and massage therapy. During a session your therapist will place stones on specific areas of the body and also use hot stones to massage your muscles. Heat generated from the stones improves circulation and aids in relaxation. Hot Stone massage can benefit anyone and can be useful on muscles that are difficult to relax.   Neuromuscular Therapy is a specialized form of Deep-tissue massage that addresses underlying muscle groups, fascia, and trigger points. During a session your therapist will use friction and focused pressure to relieve muscular pain and discomfort. Neuromuscular Therapy can relieve a variety of symptoms, and when combined with other therapies it offers a sense of deep relaxation.   CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that addresses the head, spinal column, and sacrum. During a session your therapist will use gentle pressure to release compression in areas that hold stress. Craniosacral Therapy is performed while clothed, so be sure to wear comfortable clothing. You will find this technique deeply relaxing. It is also known to relieve migraines, neck and back pain, and anxiety.   Deep-tissue massage sounds like what it is, deep pressure massage. During a session your therapist will use firm pressure that concentrates on underlying muscle groups and fascia in the body to relieve underlying pain patterns and other physical ailments. It is important to communicate your needs to your therapist to achieve a proper level of pressure. Deep-tissue massage can also break up scar tissue and provide stress relief.   Reflexology is a Chinese style of bodywork used to relieve tension and promote wellness. During a session your therapist will apply focused pressure to reflex points, primarily on your feet, that effect every part of your body. Reflexology can be relaxing as well as invigorating. It also can provide relief for those suffering from foot pain.   Fascial Release is a form of therapy that focuses on relieving tissues that restrict movement and cause imbalance in the body. During a session your therapist will apply gentle sustained pressure to improve movement and circulation in the body. Fascial Release is often combined with other therapies to optimize relaxation and pain relief.   Massage cupping, inspired by an ancient technique used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, uses negative pressure on the skin’s service to facilitate healing and relaxation. During a session your therapist will use glass or plastic cups and suction, to loosen underlying fascia and connective tissue. Suction can range from light to heavy and the movements performed by the therapist can be stimulating or sedating.

Being an athlete himself, Dr. Rob Willhite knows the importance of stretching in sports. Fascial release results from stretching that can translate not only to better performance in a game or practice, but also makes the body function and feel better before, during and after the activity. The fascia also gives Dr. Willhite a blueprint to a certain injury of the body where these soft connecting and encasing tissues may be causing pain.

Did you know that your muscles would be a bloody pile of melted, soft-serve ice cream if not for fascia? This web of connective tissues literally hold your body together—and most of us aren't really even sure how to pronounce the word! On this week's Yoga Talk Show, you'll meet the king of fascia research and teaching, Tom Meyers. ------------ Listen & Learn: How this plastic-wrap-like tissue holds your entire body together How low circulation tissues like fascia, cartilage, tendons and ligaments can heal through seepage and synovial fluids   Why stressing tendons and ligaments can make them stronger Why a skilled body worker is more important than the type of bodywork you receive The 3 main types of bodywork: relaxation massage, therapeutic massage, and integrative massage Potential healing aims of bodywork: increase inflammation response, reduce electrical (nerve) activity to an area, or improve circulation ABOUT OUR GUEST Tom Myers is the author of Anatomy Trains, the co-author of Fascial Release for Structural Balance, and numerous articles for trade magazines and journals that have been collected in the books Body3, The Anatomist's Corner, and Structural Integration: Collected Articles. He has also produced over 15 DVDs and numerous webinars on visual assessment, Fascial Release Technique, and the applications of fascial research.

Leave us a Review on iTunes Thanks to our sponsor: Bamboo Handstand Blocks -- Want to Learn Handstand or Improve Your Hand Balancing Practice? Most people think that handstand involves putting your hand flat on the floor and simply pushing down—but that's not right! Check out photos of people doing handstands, and you'll see that the more advanced students “grip” the floor using their hand like a claw. Your fingers form arches and your palms forms a dome, and you create a dynamic, muscle and bone support structure for your entire body to balance on. The Bamboo Handstand Blocks by YOGABODY were designed for our professional yoga studios in Barcelona, so they are beautiful, durable, easy-to-clean, safe, and natural. Yoga students have used standard yoga blocks for years, but these blocks are completely different: they are smaller, stronger, non-slip, easy-to-clean, and designed specifically to build grip strength for inversions.

LISTEN ON iTunes | Soundcloud | Stitcher | Google Play | TuneIn | iHeart There's a fine line between spirituality and religion. At least there is to me. Walking that line can be tough. It's so easy to take spiritual things and make a system out of them, a rhythm, a minutia of repetitive actions that we convince ourselves are making a difference in our lives. Are they? And can massage and bodywork be a part of that? Kevin has been through some shit, not just the religious ringer, but mentally and physically as well. He's been run over by delivery drivers, grieved through his brother's suicide, and countless other life trauma all coming out on the other side with a growing peace and a desire to share.
