While commonly just thought of as a layer of connective tissue, fascia has a sentience unto itself.It's more than just collagen, elastin and the gel-like ground substance it's made of... it holds memory too (whether physical, emotional, or otherwise).Today's guest, nutritionist-herbalist-author Lisa Masé has been diving deeply into world of fascia over the past year.In our conversation, Lisa shares about what fascia is and how it can shift between different states (more fluid, like seaweed in the ocean) or more tense (dry, cracky, almost like dried seaweed).And she also shares all about how we can sense the fascia in our own bodies, as well as ways we can nourish the fluid state of fascia through our food and herbs.It's a rich exploration into this fascinating connective tissue that is basically a web throughout our bodies.Our bodies are so much more than what we can see and even study from a physical, material level -- they carry such wisdom we can learn from. Fascia is one way we can tune in.

“I'm telling all the skeptics who may be listening, just go in there with an open mind because you're not going to lose anything. You have so much more to gain.” - Jonathan Moon EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode of Unraveling Adoption, I had the privilege of speaking with Jonathan Moon, an adopted person who has navigated the complexities of relinquishment and adoption trauma. Jonathan's journey began in Korea, where he faced significant challenges as a child, including living on the streets and experiencing significant instability. He was adopted to the U.S. at the age of nine and has recently embarked on a path of healing and self-discovery. Jonathan shared his unique story, including his reunion with his grandmother through a Korean TV show and the emotional complexities surrounding his birth family. He discussed the struggles he faced growing up, including the impact of his father's alcoholism and abuse, and how these experiences shaped his identity. Throughout our conversation, Jonathan emphasized the importance of community and connection among adoptees, highlighting how sharing similar experiences can foster understanding and healing. He also opened up about his journey toward healing, which has included acting classes, therapy, and alternative healing practices like myofascial release and ketamine therapy. Jonathan's story is a testament to resilience and the ongoing process of healing from trauma. He is currently working on an artistic film titled Voice of Waters, which aims to share his experiences and insights with a broader audience. I encourage listeners to check out his website and support his work. ===============

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION ALAN FREDENDALLMyofascial decompression. What is it? How does it work? Does it work? And how can you elevate what you're currently doing practice if you're already implementing this style of soft tissue treatment? WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL DECOMPRESSION? So let's take it from the top and let's talk about what is myofascial decompression, sometimes abbreviated MFD. and how is it different from cupping? So you may consider these in your mind to be synonymous and that is very very wrong. Why? Calling myofascial decompression cupping is really a misnomer because if we dig deep people have been cupping each other for many many many thousands of years. It comes from eastern medicine and you may have seen it in practice, maybe you do it in practice, maybe you've seen it on social media or the internet, and you see people laying in a static position, sometimes with their whole body covered in plastic or glass cups, right? And so that is cupping, that is sitting in a static position, that is using things like meridian or chi points, the idea that maybe we're removing toxins from the body, and you may even heard of something called wet cupping, where we pull blood to the surface with a cup, and then maybe we puncture it with a needle or a knife and we draw blood out of people. So all of that is kind of in the sphere of the term cupping. And what's very, very, very different about myofascial decompression is that we are using some sort of pump, manual or automatic, to get a decompressive effect through the tissue. And in the context of myofascial decompression, we are always, always, always, always, including movement. We are never having people lay statically with just cups on their body. We are not educating them that we're removing toxins from their body or altering their chi or anything like that. And certainly, hopefully, you are not cutting people open and using the decompressive pressure of the cups to suck blood out of their body, right? And so that is the difference between cupping and myofascial decompression. Both use plastic or glass cups, but they come from very, very different paradigms in why we're using it, what we're doing, and the effect that we're hoping to have. So with myofascial decompression, we know now with MRI studies that when we put these cups on, if we have enough pressure, we know that we can put hundreds of millimeters of mercury of pressure through this cup, and that we can sometimes reach the level of the bone. And so we are decompressing not only just the skin and the fascia beneath the skin, but down to the level of the muscle, fascia between levels of muscle, and even deeper levels of muscle all the way down to the bone. And so thinking about the various levels, when you look at your forearm, for example, what is between you and the outside layer of your skin and the bone? Several layers of tissue. We have our epidermis, we have our dermis, we have super fascial tissue and fascia, we have deep fascia, and then we get into the fascia in and around the muscle. We have the epimysium, we have the paramycium, and we have the endomysium. And that we know with a large enough cup and enough pressure from one of our pressure guns that again we can reach the level of the bone. So we're using higher pressures combined with movement to create this decompressive and sometimes sheer force effect on the tissue, combining the decompression with the movement, that is myofascial decompression. And that is how much different it is from traditional maybe Eastern medicine, quote unquote, just cupping. So the second question that we often get and the second point I want to make is often, does it work? There is a lot of myths on social media and the internet that this is not doing anything, that this could never cause a change in tissue. and that is team Patently Untrue. Certainly, if you do this wrong, you can be very ineffective with this style of treatment, but if you do it right, it can be very, very effective. So I wanna give a shout out to Dr. Chris DiPrato. He's a physical therapist out in the Bay Area of California. You may have heard of him. He owns the company Cup Therapy. He teaches myofascial decompression courses. We had the pleasure of taking one of his courses a couple weeks ago when he was here in Michigan, and we had a great time. In particular, I love to learn all the research he had to share. And some of that research around does this actually work is pretty mind opening. And my point with today's podcast is that when we elevate our techniques, we elevate the efficacy and the efficiency of our techniques as well. And again, certainly, if you do this wrong or sloppy, you will have a minimum effect on the tissue. But if you do it right, you can have a profound effect on the soft tissue of the body. DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? And Chris shares that in his course when he seeks to answer the question, does it actually work? Chris has used cups with myofascial decompression on embalmed cadavers. He has used them on fresh or what may be called wet cadavers. And he has used them on live living people in an MRI tube and looked at what is happening to the tissue when we have a large cup with a lot of pressure in it. What do we see? And what he has seen over the years doing these studies himself of having people in MRI tubes is that with a large enough cup and enough pressure, again, we can begin to decompress multiple layers of tissue, fascia, muscle all the way down to the level of the bone, which is pretty significant. And that in general, the more hydrated the tissue, the more decompressive effect we have seen. So when he has tested this on embalmed cadavers where all of the body water, liquid blood, everything is removed and the tissue is essentially dried out, we see a minimal effect when we use this technique. But when we use it on a fresh or wet cadaver or a living person that still has blood, all the sorts of fluid that we have inside of our body, that we get a much more profound effect. And more importantly, looking at these MRI studies, we see that not only do we see that effect in the moment, but that we see that effect for at least three to five days after we have done the myofascial decompression. So what is it? It is a technique using high pressure with movement to create a decompressive effect and some sheer force on the body. And does it work? Yes, if you do it right. So that's what I want to spend the rest of this podcast episode discussing. INTERLUDE Before I do that, I just want to introduce myself. My name is Alan. I have the pleasure of surfing as our chief operating officer here at ICE and a faculty member in our fitness athlete and practice management divisions. This is Technique Thursday. On Thursdays, we either cover leadership topics or we cover technique topics. Today is a technique topic today. And it is Technique Thursday, which also means it is Gut Check Thursday. This week's Gut Check Thursday comes from our own fitness athlete faculty member, Joe Hinesco, who sent me a nice little number for you all to do this week. It is every two minutes, hop on a fan bike, an echo or a salt bike, hammer out 20 calories for the guys or 15 for the ladies. And then any remaining time in that two minute window, you're going to do max repetitions of a barbell thruster. with the prescribed weight of 95 for guys and 65 for ladies. The goal there getting hopefully at least 10 thrusters every round and your workout is finished when you hit 75 thrusters. So the moment you hit that 75th thruster you are done with the workout. So it rewards an aggressive start, it rewards somebody who can be aggressive on the bike but still hop off and pick up that barbell and do big sets of thrusters. So If you try that and you hated it, send all that shade towards Joe. He's the one that came up with this workout, so send that his way. And then I just want to plug again, Chris DePrato cuptherapy.com. He has live and online courses, a level one course, a level two course, both live and online. And if you finish today's episode and you want to learn more about this, maybe you're like me and you kind of just started doing this without any formal training. I promise you, if you take his courses, you will come away with a lot of very actionable stuff that's going to do nothing but elevate these techniques in your own clinical practice. So let's talk about this. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Let's talk about practical application. First things first, if you have done cuffing before, You have probably seen clear cups. What's the difference? We also have cups. These are rock pods. We have these in the clinic as well. What is the main difference? The main difference is that I cannot control the pressure with something like a rock pod. All I can do is essentially stick it on my skin and get whatever pressure comes out of it, right? That might be not enough pressure to do anything and I may have to reset it. And then I basically am just getting lucky maybe with enough pressure for the patient to maybe feel something. But this is not ideal. It does not have a way for us to control the pressure. It does not have a way for us to objectively measure how much pressure we're using. And most importantly, we can't see through this, right? We can't see the tissue. We can't see what's happening underneath the tissue. There is some important stuff that can happen inside of a clear cup that you'll want to see. and I won't steal Chris's thunder, I'll have you take his course to learn that, but it's really important that we have a clear cup, and that we have some sort of control over the pressure, that we have some sort of pump gun, automatic or manual, to pump up the pressure, and really be sure we're just not getting a random application every time we put on a cup like a rock pot. So what does that look like? We have a manual gun, right? It has a trigger here, you connect it to the cup, and you pull pressure out, right? You decompress. And then with this style of cup, you just squeeze to let the air out. Now, what's great about Chris and Cup Therapy that has really made me feel good about this technique is they have solved the problem of how much pressure exactly am I using so that I can be sure if I repeat this treatment in the future, or maybe somebody else has to repeat this treatment for me, they're using the same pressure as me. Lo and behold, the automatic pressure gun, right? So you can see right here, if you're listening on the podcast, you can't see anything. So go over to our YouTube channel, or our Instagram page and watch me on the video. But what you'll see here is we have a pressure gauge, right? And it's measured in millimeters of mercury. It goes from zero up to 760 millimeters of mercury. And as you apply the cup, you will see the pressure gauge change. And that can dial you in more on how much pressure you're putting through the cup. And again, let you hopefully repeat that treatment in the future. And also be sure you're reaching the levels of tissue depth that you want to be working at. So this is a very, very great tool. This is brand new as of this year, I believe. So if you've taken his course before, you'll want to jump on cuptherapy.com and buy one of these. But this is very, very, very, very nice. And so I'm going to put this on myself. I'm going to put some, just some free up, and then I'm going to show you all how great it is with this auto pressure gun. So just putting some lotion over the area where I'm going to apply the cup. I'm going to apply the hose to the cup like so, and then I'm going to squeeze the pressure gun. Doing this one handed is super tough, but I think we can get it. There we go. And so you can hear the gun working a bit. And now as I take the hose off, you can see some pretty darn good pressure, right? A lot of tissue deformation right there, a couple of inches of skin fascia and muscle pulled into the cup. And I can tell you, this is a very different feeling than just having something like a rock pod or otherwise just a squeeze application silicone cup. This is right on the border between discomfort and pain. However, it is enough pressure that I could move those muscles. I could do a bicep curl. I could do pull-ups. I could move my forearm through whatever range of motion I wanted to, and you can see that cup is not going anywhere, and that comes down to making sure that we have enough pressure through the cup that we're reaching not only enough pressure that we can move with the cup on, but again, that we're reaching the levels of tissue depth that we want to achieve. And that is very, very easy to do with the automatic pressure gun. Let's talk about those pressures. What are they? If we really want to reach deep muscle or reach even the levels of intermuscular tissue and fascia, we need to have a lot of pressure through these cups. We need to have 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury. What is the problem with a cup like this? Or what is the problem with the manual gun? I have no idea what pressure I'm at, right? Hence the importance of the pressure gauge on the new automatic gun. Going down in pressures, if I just want to reach the level of the deep fascia, the pressure comes down a bit, 200 to 400 millimeters of mercury. And then if I want to stay superficial, even maybe if I just want to promote some lymph flow, maybe a patient has some swelling or some lymphedema, I can keep the pressure really light, 40 to maybe 150 millimeters of mercury. Again, how can I be sure I'm keeping pressure light enough to only promote lymph flow? Well, with something like a silicone cup or even the manual gun, I have no idea how heavy or how light my pressure is. And so again, it reinforces the need for that automatic pressure gun. And now I would say the key here, and again, the difference between myofascial decompression and cupping is that when we have these cups on, we're doing some sort of movement, right? Chris will take you through a whole protocol in his course of how to get the cups on and how to slowly introduce movement to an area, especially maybe if it's very restricted or very painful, but also different applications using lighter or deeper pressures to inhibit or facilitate different muscles. For example, he's a big fan of putting cups with heavy pressure on the traps for somebody who does a really contrived trap shrug when they lift overhead. And if you want to maybe isolate the deltoids or the upper back, and sort of think about turning the traps off a bit, we can stick some cups on the trap and really put a lot of pressure through those cups. It's going to be really hard to engage and move those traps, and it's going to promote movement through the muscles that we want to target. Again, maybe the deltoids or the upper back. And he has a number of different examples and circuits scenarios for you in his class but the key is the pressure matters and we can't know what pressure we're at if we don't have an objective way to measure it and then track it over time and for me that was a big game-changer what I learned is I was simply not using enough pressure using something like a silicone cup or or using something like a clear cup, but with just the manual gun. Simply not putting enough pressure into the cup to get the treatment effects that I was looking for. And certainly, probably not being light enough on the other end, if I wanted to do something like promote lymph flow, or I just wanted to have some cups on some muscles to facilitate muscle activation, I was probably going too light for deeper structures and too hard for more superficial structures. or movement facilitation. And again, the automatic gun with the pressure gauge changed all of that. SUMMARY So what is myofascial decompression? It is not cupping. It is using pressure, specifically various ranges of pressure depending on the level of tissue that we want to target. always combined with movement to promote movement through that muscle, movement through that tissue. That is very different from cupping where people typically lay in a static position, have a number of different cups applied to them, usually with no idea how much pressure is being put through that cup. Does it work? Yes, if you do it right, it works. As with most things in life, if you do it wrong, it won't work very well. And so understanding that if we have enough pressure through a large enough cup, we can move through several layers of tissue, including all the way down to the level of the bone, which is probably much more of a pronounced effect than maybe we ever thought possible. How can we get better at this? I would recommend if you haven't yet that you take Chris's course. You learn where to put these cups to target different muscles, to target different movement patterns, and that more importantly than anything else, you get yourself that automatic gun either from Chris's website or that you get with the level two course where you have that objective pressure grade knowing that different levels of pressure will target different structures and have different treatment effects. So it's really important we know what those are and what we're trying to achieve with that patient in front of us. us. So I hope this was helpful. Big shout out again to Chris. I reached out to him before doing this episode and just ran this by him and we really appreciate all of his collaboration. You'll notice that ICE does not have a myofascial decompression course. We think Chris is doing it better than anybody else and if it's not broke, don't fix it. So just go see Chris if you want to learn more about this. He runs a fantastic course, very evidence-based, Very movement focused, which you know, anything from us here at ICE, that's what we're all about. So just go see Chris if you want to learn more about this. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday. Have fun with Gut Check. I don't think you will. Again, if you hate it, just send Joe those nasty messages. Just pass me right on by and go right to Joe. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fantastic Thursday. Bye everybody.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION LINDSEY HUGHEYPT on ICE Daily Show, waiting for YouTube and Instagram to catch up. So we are live on both. How's it going? I am joining you again this week on the PT on ICE Daily Show. Welcome. I'm Dr. Lindsey Hughey. I currently serve as one of the division leads at extremity management. And today I want to share with you a myofascial decompression technique for patellar tendinopathy. So today is either Technique Tuesday or Leadership Thursday. So we're bringing Technique Thursday to you all live. My model today is Daniel, my son. So what I want to unpack is a little bit about how do we know someone has patellar tendinopathy and who this might be appropriate for. with patellar tendinopathy, show you the technique, literally just demo it for you live, what you do, and then we'll chat also like how do you know the treatment worked. So we'll talk a little bit about our test retest options for patellar tendinopathy. And then we'll call it a morning technique Thursday, not Tuesday. Great to be with you all again. So first things first, someone with patellar tendinopathy is going to complain of a recent spike in load. Usually it's energy storage and release activities like jumping, sprinting. The other complaint, vice versa, they might have is that a dramatic de-load where they haven't, maybe it's their off season and then they stopped loading completely. this might flare up that patellar tendon. They will complain of pain with energy storage movements, and they'll specifically complain of pain right at the patellar tendon, where that inferior border of the patella sits to the tibial tubercle. When you palpate that as the clinician, that will be tender to palpation. Often when they extend their knees, so you're doing manual muscle testing of quadriceps, that will also cause their symptoms to blip. Having them do a one-legged squat on a slant board is another load test that will often bring on symptoms. The person with moderate to high irritability, patellar tendinopathy, often has coinciding hypertonicity throughout their quadriceps. So when you palpate, it's not just that patellar tendon that is bothering them. Like their quad also is kind of guarded around that knee joint. So myofascial decompression can be a great adjunct to treatment. If you've heard any podcasts that I've done on tendinopathy, you know, that load is our love language, or if you've been at our course, you know that. So ultimately, the teller tendinopathy is going to be healed by high tensile loading that involves loading the local tendon, the local muscle, quadriceps, the chain, and then off eventually gets into energy surge and release. So know this treatment technique that I'm about to show you is just an adjunct to care that creates a modulating window of opportunity to load that person better. So consider it's moderate to high irritability human. And so that's someone that like not just is their activity or sport starting to get interrupted. It's usually our basketball or volleyball players, but also like daily life is starting to get aggravated. They're not sleeping as well. Their performance has dropped. These folks need that treatment that kind of takes that edge off. So without further ado, you kind of understand who the person with teller tendinopathy is, who would be good to execute this treatment on. I want to show it to you. So I'm going to kind of move the camera around just a tiny bit. so that you can really see the quadriceps. So we're going to do one of two things. We'll make sure we've exposed the area. I want to not only get myofascial decompression to the quadriceps and hit each part, but I also want to decompress that patella and the patellar tendon. So to first decompress the patellar tendon and the patella, I'm going to use a silicone cup. So these silicone cups are awesome. The way we'll apply these is we're going to create negative pressure. So you really want to squish this in and then apply firm pressure down with your body, being mindful that this could be an irritating area. The way I would explain it to the patient is we're using this cup to just kind of offload that bone, that patella, and then offload the patellar tendon a bit. So I'm going to create that negative suction and compression. If you have very hairy patients, you're going to want to put some lubricant like a Biotone around that. Just a little bit will go a long way, but again, more hair endowed folks might need a little bit more. So we're going to go here. I'm going to create that negative pressure, I'm going to press down, and then if I've done a good job creating that suction, there'll actually be a little dip or dimple in the silicone cup. The cups I'm using today are from Chris DiPrato and his team. They are amazing cup therapy if you follow them on social media. I love their products. This comes in their kit, this silicone cup, and then their curved cups. These are actually their newest ones are what I'm going to use to hit the vastus lateralis, to hit vastus medialis, and then I really want to get after rectus femoris. I want to make sure I hit all three parts. You can't really get that intermedius without a needle. So we're going to hit those main more superficial areas. So we're going to hit that vastus lateralis first. And then I'm going to place that curved cup and then create suction with our gun. And there's various guns. This is a manual pump that you can use. There's ones with gauges and then electronic gauges. We want about 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury if you do have that pressure gauge that actually gives you a reading. So we'll hit vastus lateralis in two different spots. So one here and then one a little higher. I'll step away so you can see. Then we're going to want to go vastus medialis. So now I'm just on that inner part of the quadriceps. And then we want to hit that rectus femoris and I can hit here and then I can even do one more a little bit higher. I want to show you just there's, these are the newest curve cups. These are awesome as well. So I wanted to show you that. We'll go a little higher and we're really trying to hit that muscle belly here, not tendon. So then this is attached to patient. And I'm not just going to leave him sit here. So I promised him I wouldn't actually make him move. So I'm just going to talk through this. But I'd actually have him do some knee extension with those on. So mod to hired ability, we want to create an analgesic response. So we'll have them do some isometrics, shooting for that 45 second hold, trying to do five reps. So we'd start with just probably doing like a quad set where he'd like push his knee down and then maybe lift a little bit or combine it with a straight leg raise. That would be like level one. As soon as we can get him up and weight-bearing, I want to do like a wall sit or a Spanish squat with these on. So he's in this decompressed, he, they, she, whoever your patient is, decompressed state, and they're still loading. So it's not a static laying there thing or treatment. So once cups are applied, right, I do some kind of active treatment. I've named a few. Lowest level would be that knee extension with a lift and or just doing a nice quad set, then getting to a wall sit or a Spanish squat in a reduced range. We usually start about 60 degrees. And then we take the cups off, right? Reassess the soft tissue. Daniel's probably like, please take these cups off, mom. What we'll do is reassess the soft tissue, but not just the soft tissue. I want to see, is there less hypertonicity? I want to see, is the tendon, after I've palpated it, become a little less tender to palpation? In addition, I want to probably test a load test, like that slant board, if we had just tested that. And you may even see a change in motor response. So if you took your dynamometer, took a quadriceps reading, and then also got an NPRS, did this treatment, Then retested using your dynamometer, you often will see not only a change in pain, but you can even see motor uptick. So an increase in that strength measurement just because pain has now dampened. So this treatment doesn't take a long time, but can be super effective for our patients with that mod to high irritability where life is starting to get interrupted by their patellar pain. SUMMARY Thank you for joining me this morning to learn one of my favorite techniques that I'll use for my folks with patellar tendinopathy. I hope you all have beautiful clinical Thursdays, whatever you do in the clinic, and will consider using this with your patient. If you want to learn more about research concerning patellar tendinopathy and how to load your folks well, join us on a weekend soon in extremity management. So we will be in not only North Dakota, but also in South Carolina, August 24th, 25th. So you have two opportunities coming up, and that'll be our last opportunity of the summer. So really jump in if you haven't yet. And if you want to learn a little bit about some myofascial decompression techniques, our colleague Chris DiPrato, we're a big fan of his courses. We also integrate that in our courses as well. So thanks again for joining me. Cheers. Happy Thursday, everyone. OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's WellbeingMyofascial release is a type of therapy aimed at relieving tension and pain in the body's muscles and connective tissues. This therapy involves gentle, sustained pressure on the fascial tissues to help improve movement and reduce discomfort. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports various structures in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It is a continuous web-like network that runs throughout the entire body, providing structural support and protection. Often used by physical and massage therapists, myofascial release can help with various conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tightness. By releasing tight spots and improving blood flow, this technique helps restore the body's natural alignment and function, promoting overall well-being.In this episode with our return guest, Karen Remele, we talk about how myofascial release can be a powerful healing tool for addressing physical traumas in the body, including those resulting from sexual abuse and reproductive issues among women. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at John.

Welcome again everyone to the second part of our conversation with Steve Capobianco. Steve is the owner and founder of Rocktape, a leading brand in manual therapy tools and education. He is also one of the most well-versed in myofascial research. There never seems to be enough time talking about trigger points, the theory of trigger points, and myofascial pain syndrome. In this episode, we dive even farther into our conversation and how you can use manual therapy to help treat centrally sensitized patients.

Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) What's the difference between body positivity and body neutrality?I think this is a really important distinction that today's guest - strength coach Kali Perry - gives insight into surrounding her own journey in her body as she eventually found her way to finally having a breast reduction she'd been considering for many years. The concept of body positivity kind of requires us to be psyched on our body no matter what form or concerns we have. While body neutrality is more about acceptance and embracing from a neutral lens. It's interesting to me because this concept reminds me of how I've come to acceptance and eventually falling more in love with everything from my own partner in our 18 year relationship, to our home, to the community we live in and certainly also my body. For me, it's all "good enough" -- as in I feel generally okay with it all, and sometimes really love it. It's how I've found my way to falling into deeper love. Not needing anything to be perfect. I think so many of us fall into the trap of seeking perfection -- inside or out. This said, I love Kali's story of how she came to a place of choosing her breast reduction to feel more at home -- and have more physical capacity -- in the body she's in. Not about perfection, but about feeling better in her body.And her holistic and integrative approach to preparing for and recovering from her surgery is really inspiring, and I think a great resource to learn from for any planned surgery -- especially breast/chest surgery. To me, this conversation was a fascinating glimpse into a world I have no awareness of and Kali shares in an embodied and practical way.

This episode is inspired by important questions we're very often asked by movement teachers about cueing and language.So... What exactly do we all mean by the word Stretch? Or Stabilise? Or Strengthen? Or Stiffen? Is Stress always a bad thing, or can it actually be a good thing sometimes? We explore each word and its implications, as well as how we can use them wisely….or not so wisely!!Again and again, we hear these 5 ‘S words' come up, regardless of the particular modality a teacher is using, whether it is Pilates, or Yoga or 5 Rhythms, or Dance or Personal Training or Martial Arts - whatever you may teach. It's crucial to consider these words carefully in order to enhance how the practice, whatever it is, makes sense to the person you are teaching. And of course, Cueing, Seeing, and Guiding clients well requires us to use a language THEY understand….this is not so much a formula as a discussion about the ingredients!!Hopefully there's some important food for thought here for you, to enhance the delicious movements you already create for the people you work with…Enjoy!MORE INFOVisit https://myofascialmagic.com/homeFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/myofascial_magicGET IN TOUCHEmail us on info@myofascialmagic.com or DM us on InstagramYOU CAN ALSO WATCH THIS EPISODE ON THE JOANNE AVISON YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFz7SM_4q7tQpdgEtjooAQgPodcast and video produced and edited by Megan Bay Dorman SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

In this podcast, I'll share 9 fascinating facts about fascia and the secret to keeping it healthy. 1. Fascia is the material that surrounds every muscle in the body. 2. Fascia gives the body posture and shape. 3. Fascia adapts to the environment. 4. Cells of the fascia or collagen are called fibroblasts. You have billions of these cells that can migrate through the body and lay down ground substance to allow lubrication and movement. 5. Fascia is highly involved with immune function. Myofascial release, massage, and trigger point therapy can help improve inflammatory conditions of the fascia, such as fibromyalgia and plantar fasciitis. 6. Fascia is stiffened by lack of movement. People often assume they have stiff muscles when they really have stiff fascia. 7. Your fascia extends throughout your entire body and is connected from head to toe. This is why you can often relieve pain associated with tight or inflamed fascia by fascial manipulation in other related parts of the body. 8. Fascia is innervated by tiny nerves that allow the body to know where it is in space, so it's critical for balance and coordination. 9. Fascia can change in material properties and go from being very rigid to very elastic. Dynamic motions in different directions can help restore fascia, so don't do the same stretches and exercises repeatedly! High doses of vitamin D3, along with the cofactors vitamin K2, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6, also support your fascia's health.

Myofascial Magic in Action is not a method – it's a standard available for all the different methods we teach and learn in movement. It raises the game around the difference we can make to ourselves and our clients, whatever modality we choose. Focusing particularly on Yoga and Pilates, we make the important distinction between “delicious” bespoke movement and "fast food" one-size-fits-all movement... We also share stories about the highlights and lowlights of teaching - see if you recognise your own experiences here! We hope you enjoy hearing how we rate the Michelin Star movement experiences we've loved, and that some of our comments will cause that magical laughter of recognition to light you up with a smile!Thank you for being here,Joanne and PaulMORE INFOVisit myofascialmagic.comFOLLOW USFollow @myofascial_magic on InstagramGET IN TOUCHEmail us on info@myofascialmagic.com or DM us on InstagramPodcast produced and edited by Megan Bay DormanSIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

LINDSEY HUGHEY Good morning, PT on Ice Daily Show. How is it going? Welcome to Technique Thursday. My name is Dr. Lindsay Hughey. I am division lead of extremity management along with Dr. Mark Gallant, and I am here to talk to you about a deltoid myofascial decompression technique. So in honor of deltoid week, I want to share just a common technique we'll use. First, I will kind of give a little context of why we would use this technique, and then I'm literally going to show you how we'll do cup placement, and then how we'll follow that up with active movement. So we do passive, and then we actually do a little neuroreeducation to that area. WHY CUP THE DELTOID? So why we might choose this technique is someone that literally has pain with palpation at that deltoid, baby with abduction, they have a painful arc, and or when you manually muscle test into abduction and or flexion, they have some pain symptoms. So this would lead us to want to do this treatment. In our extremity management course, we usually call this the weak shoulder bucket. A lot of these folks fall under that umbrella. So I actually have an assistant with me today. So Paul is going to come and sit, and I'm actually going to have him sit like this. I usually have the patient either lay in supine, side lying, or prone to do this technique. But for ease of you all to view the deltoid, I want to have him sit, and then we'll have him lay on his side. So we want so just to orient us to the deltoid and I'm going to move this camera just a little bit right so the deltoid actually gets its name because it looks like an upside down delta so if these points all the way down to that deltoid tuberosity by the way to dive deep into the anatomy of the deltoid check out Clinical Tuesday with Ellison Melrose because we are doing all things deltoid this week. And she did a fabulous episode on not only the anatomy, but the function. So take a look at that. But here we're going to target, we want to target the anterior, the medial, and that posterior region. So some people think of this as like clavicle, acromion, or spinal. So what we're going to do is attach our cups to each of those regions and then all the way to that deltoid tuberosity. So I'm going to grab my gadgets. So practical things we need are some kind of lubricant. I'm going to use Free Up today, but it doesn't really matter, kind of your favorite lotion oil that'll help this stick. So I'm going to put a little lotion anterior, medial, and then that posterior, right? Because we have three main parts here. And then we'll go down to this deltoid tuberosity area. So I'm going to use these nice curved cups. These are actually the newest cups from our colleague and friend, Cup Therapy. So Chris DiPrato just came out with these and his team, and they are awesome for suction. We really, by the way, love myofascial decompression because it's really the only thing we have that really offloads tissue versus like our dry needling, our exercise, our massage, our wonderful treatment adjuncts. but they're compressive in nature. So sometimes this decompressive technique is just a novel stimulus to help that muscle relax and move better and activate better. CUPPING THE DELTOID So I'm going to start with that middle portion and I want For muscle, we usually want about 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury or pressure taken off. And there are gauges that pumps that actually show you that pressure. This is just a standard pump today, but just to keep that knowledge in your back pocket. And then we're going to go posteriorly. So again, I want to make sure lotion is there. I'm going to attach here. How are we doing, Paul? Such a good patient. Such a good model. And then we're going to go anterior. So I'll just kind of shift my body so that you all can see that. Again, we're pumping up. We try to get enough besides that 300 to 600 millimeters or mercury, but enough that they don't pop off. And if this do pop off during this demo, we'll just reattach. And then finally, down here, a little bit more lotion. And then we'll pump. We're getting a little slidey there, doing OK. Sometimes you're doing OK. Sometimes hair gets us, and we might. User error is always fun, too, when your hands are sliding. I'm just going to change this out. Here we go. That one, we needed to go, I think, a little bit smaller. That one was a little too big for the surface. That's why there's different size cups. OK. To visualize, we have anterior, medial, posterior, so we're hitting all parts of that deltoid. And then we're trying to sink into that deltoid tuberosity. For our treatment, I'm going to have Paul lay in sideline, so that shoulder is up. First part of this, and I'll just adjust the Instagram camera a little bit, is we're going to do some passive movement. So we're never just having the patient sit with the cups and doing nothing. It's very rare that we would just let this be a static treatment. So I'm going to take Paul's arm, and then I'm going to move him into all the motions that the deltoid produced. So that anterior is more flexion, internal rotation, abduction for that medial and then posterior contributes to extension and external rotation. So I'm gonna move in and out of all those positions. So I'll demo just a couple of those and then the next part is let's let the patient own this movement with some neural re-education. So then Paul will do those movements and I'll show you our favorite sideline trio for that. So I'm going to flex him and I'm moving my body with this. And then I might mess with a little bit of internal external rotation. And when you're up close to the cups, what you see is some pumping on off of that tissue. And I'll do just a couple more of these. And then I can even abduct. A little bit for Paul on off, and I would spend like a minute or so kind of going off on off and deflection, internal external rotation. I might even go into a little bit of extension. And then I want him to do some of these movements. So I'm going to go from behind to direct Paul and get out of your way. But one of our favorite things for the weak shoulder and to really light up that deltoid and even the cuff, because we know they work together in upward elevation, is we're going to do external rotation. Elbow straight, do flexion, come down, and then go to 90 and do horizontal abduction. So we're hitting all parts of that deltoid and the cuff with this movement. And we'll have Paul do a few of these reps unloaded, but then I'm going to give him a change plate, and I'm actually going to have him load this up. And probably the hardest part is just remembering all the movements. It doesn't quite matter what order you do it in, but what matters is kind of targeting all the different areas of that beautiful deltoid muscle. So go back to external rotation, and this is just like a real patient, right? There's going to be some error in each movement. Again, it doesn't matter necessarily the order. And then horizontal abduction. To make it a little harder, we're going to go ahead and give him a weight. So he's going to go ahead externally rotate. I'll just guide him through those first reps, elbow straight, go ahead and flex. Meanwhile, the pods are still attached, offloading that tissue. He'll come back to 90 and then horizontally AB duct, right? And then we'd give him a sweet spot. You can go ahead and relax. A sweet spot, what we call an extremity management, the rehab dose because we are targeting local tissue. So our rehab dose is anywhere from 8 to 20 reps, 3 to 4 sets, and we're taking a rest break of about 60 to 90 seconds. And our intensity varies from 30% to 80% depending on tissue irritability. But we've done this out. SUMMARY So some key things, we apply the cups, right? But then we actually move the human passively. Then we have them actively do the thing, neuroreeducation. And then finally, we take the cups off. And what we would do is reassess one of those things that blipped an exam, whether it was palpation, whether it was that presence of a painful arc, and or our manual muscle testing to see, did NPRS change with our palpation? Did painful arc, was quality of movement improved, and or NPRS, less pain associated with that elevation? The other thing, one little other pearl I want to share with the cups. So we remove the cups and then we'll massage that area a little bit. But what's neat is you can even take some pressure off. I'm taking this last cup off, but I can reduce the pressure a tiny bit and I can end with like a sliding technique where there's a little bit of offloading still present, but we're sliding along that tissue. for overall treatment dur be more than like 3 to 5 technique. And what's neat asterix very quickly. And pain. The motor bands tha immediately are a little and then they're able to elevate their arm better. And so this quick and efficient technique is one that I would really encourage you to use with your folks that have any deltoid and or cuff issues. You've heard me throw out some terms today regarding weak shoulder, the rehab dose, and the sideline trio. These are all terms that are really common to our extremity management course. So if you haven't taken it yet, Mark and Cody and I and our team to see you on the road an offerings. If you check u dot com in the summer. So in Salt Lake City with Ja and 14th will be in Kent, Washington again. And then July 20th, 21st will be in Hendersonville. So Cody will be there. That is bound to be a blast with that Hendersonville crew. And then it keeps on coming. We have another course in July, Bend, Oregon. So a lot of West Coast opportunities. So my West Coasters join me. I will be doing all those West Coast courses. And then we have more offerings in August. So you can't miss us. Thank you for joining me on Technique Thursday to learn a little bit more about the deltoid. And thanks to Paul, my patient who always looks like he's sleeping, but he's actually awake and with it. I hope you all have a beautiful day. Take care. OUTROHey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.

In this episode Paul and Joanne respond to a question they received about the value of Neural Flossing or Spinal Flossing. The question “to floss or not to floss?” is one worth considering – and even if you disagree, this conversation might expand the questions you ask! Joanne wasn't entirely sure what the term meant, so by asking Paul, this conversation unfolded. It isn't intended to ruffle any feathers or diminish the work of very well-intentioned therapists, but we do challenge the notion of how valuable “flossing” is - by the interpretation we use. In any event, it is super clear that the value of micromovements might just provide a simpler answer to the problems that “flossing” is intended to resolve...

Click here to send me your Q's, comments, lovenotes, or a quick message here :) I'll be the first to admit that it irks me when people use the term "plant medicine" to refer to psychedelics, or what perhaps could be more properly termed "entheogens."First of all, half of those are isolated compounds that are created in labs (perhaps originally derived from plants, but not always) and others are derived from fungi or animal compounds. Like, they aren't even all sourced from plants. And I don't love the usurping of a name that I've been using for almost 2 decades to refer to my love of the practice of people's medicine, or herbal medicine.That said, I'll also openly acknowledge that psychedelics and entheogens have been a significant part of my path TO herbal medicine. And to healing arts overall. And to nature connection before that. They are profound and powerful and I deeply respect them. I just think we need to be more precise about what we're talking about. Today's guest Allison Avalon shares about her relationship with entheogens and how, alongside silent meditation and foundational nutrition and lifestyle practices, they have had an immeasurable impact on healing her wombspace, jaw, and overall anxiety and depression. Her story starts in a place of deep suffering in a spiral of anxiety and depression, intense jaw clenching she'd bite into her cheeks and intense menstrual pain -- and while she was seeking answers she found powerful entheogens that changed her entire life, partly by facing death -- and what she calls "death practice."We talk about all of this and how free and relaxed the flow of energy is through her body. How she no longer has menstrual pain or jaw clenching AT ALL. It's really an inspiring and hopeful story full of so much wisdom.

Did you know that most people with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders do not know whether they have them or what exactly causes such disorders? TMJ disorders refer to various conditions that result in dysfunction and pain in muscles and jaw joints that regulate jaw movement. Researchers estimate that more than 10 million Americans are living with TMJ disorders. In most cases, the discomfort related to TMJ disorders is temporary and occasional and occurs in cycles. Although the pain may eventually disappear without or with minimal intervention, some individuals may develop long-lasting symptoms. The disorders result in tenderness and pain in the jaw joints and related ligaments and muscles. The common causes may include jaw injuries, teeth grinding, and arthritis. Types of TMJ Disorders Researchers have categorized TMJ disorders into three: · Myofascial pain · Internal joint derangement · Arthritis-related disorders It is possible to experience one or more of the disorder categories simultaneously with other comorbidities, such as sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue syndrome, which have similar symptoms. The majority of people experience relatively mild types of TMJ disorders, with symptoms significantly improving or disappearing spontaneously in months or weeks. However, the disorders may result in long-lasting, debilitating, and persistent pain in some individuals. Symptoms of TMJ TMJ symptoms vary widely and may include: · Jaw pain · Stiffness in the jaws. · Difficulty opening or closing the mouth. · Facial pain. · Neck or shoulder pain. · Jaw popping. · Earaches. · Headaches. · Migranes. Ways of Alleviating TMJ Disorder-related Discomfort How can you manage TMJ disorders and attain a stage of comfort? To effectively combat TMJ discomfort, developing the correct diagnosis and establishing treatment goals is essential. The following are some of the tips you can use to manage TMJ disorders and alleviate discomfort. Physical therapy: Physical therapy improves joint functioning and manages the pain caused by the disorder. Although this therapy cannot completely fix complex joint issues, it is useful because it helps the affected person attain comfort. Dentists may advise using physical therapy in conjunction with splint therapy for the best results. Stabilization splint therapy: Your surgeon or dentist will fabricate a dental appliance that holds your jaws in position and fits over the teeth. This helps to guard your jaw joints and ensure the supporting structures of your teeth are free from damage. Self-care techniques: These include practices such as eating soft foods, applying ice packs, shunning extreme jaw movements, relaxation, and stress reduction techniques, and embracing gentle jaw relaxation and stretching techniques to manage the symptoms. Pain relievers: Short-term use of over-the-counter pain relievers should temporarily alleviate pain and relieve jaw discomfort. Your physician or dentist can only prescribe stronger pain medications, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory drugs, or antidepressants when necessary. Irreversible treatments include surgeries and implants, which professionals should administer. Sometimes, they can worsen the condition and permanently alter the bite. Do you think you have a TMJ disorder? Simple self-care techniques should help alleviate the symptoms and discomfort. If otherwise, you should ensure you receive further treatment that is conservative, reversible, customized to your specific needs, and based on a reasonable diagnosis.

Paul and Joanne share their experience and stories about pelvic issues, how they affect so many of us, and... how misunderstood they might be! How can we “rephrase” our understanding of the mythical “Pelvic Floor” and discover the magic of releasing the Pelvic Foot? This is not a made up idea, by movement instructors who didn't like learning anatomy! Paul talks about the key science behind this structural understanding of the human body. Effectively, you have a pelvic foot – not a pelvic floor... It's true, and magic happens when you know that, know how to treat that and know how to move so that you can enjoy freedom from so many issues that are usually assigned to the “pelvic floor”. There are many elements in Myofascial Magic that we can bring to the table (or mat or machine when we are teaching) that will automagically enhance all kinds of issues!

Welcome to the second episode of our Myofascial Magic strand! I recently co-founded Myofascial Magic In Action with the esteemed Paul Thornley, with the mission of providing practitioners with client-centred micro-movement keys. And now we're bringing you our shared passion - and the answer to some of your burning questions - in the form of this special joint podcast series, releasing every couple of weeks.In this episode we talk about one of the most fundamental movements of most of our lives - WALKING... Fifteen years ago Monty Python did a sketch called The Ministry of Silly Walks. It was hilarious (look it up on YouTube for a giggle!). But the truth is, that we all have a walking pattern that may or may not serve us as well as it could. Have you watched animals walking? Have you noticed that different people often mimic different animals? Like Penguins (that tend to rock and shuffle), or Bears (who have an ipsilateral swing) or Flamingos, that spiral-lift one foot after the other. It's fascinating.A great deal of the biomechanical information out there about “correct walking gait” focuses on foot placement and toe-heel relationships. It measures things like stride length and all sorts of metrics that prove pretty meaningless in practice. They fail us miserably when we just want to be able to move well and BONUS – actually receive energy from walking, rather than lose it. YES – that is possible.In this episode Paul tells a gorgeous story from his army days and how cleverly walking was understood so that a unit of soldiers (of all different heights, sizes and abilities) could all walk in sync and arrive at the same time. What actually happens when we recognise how the Pelvic Foot works? How do we release rebound energy? And even give it back to the body? Listen in as we explore it all! We hope you get a lot out of this conversation, thank you for being here,Joanne and PaulMORE INFOVisit myofascialmagic.comFOLLOW USFollow @myofascial_magic on InstagramGET IN TOUCHEmail us on info@myofascialmagic.com or DM us on InstagramPodcast produced and edited by Megan Bay DormanSIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

As humans, we are storytelling creatures... but I think we often overlook how powerful hearing stories of others healing can be. Especially when they include facing profound debilitation and hopelessness. And show us how we are ALL capable of finding our way from the darkness to the light. To vitality, vibrancy -- even pleasure. And that's what I really really love about Julia's story. In her mid-teens she experienced sexual trauma that was tucked away until she was 19 when stabbing, stinging pain started in her vulva and did.not.stop. She lived for 6 whole years with debilitating vulva pain, was given a long list of diagnoses from various specialists, and was given very little hope that she would EVER recover from most specialists that she saw. In fact, she was told "you'll just have to work on your anxiety," "there's nothing we can do," "we don't understand this condition," and "just put lidocaine on it so you can please your partner."And the sad truth is, most medical practitioners really don't have anything to offer to those suffering with conditions like vulvodynia, vaginismus, interstitial cystitis etc. For some reason, it took years for Julia to be referred to a pelvic floor physical therapist, but finally once she went she felt hope again. And along the way, she started studying and practicing yoga, meditation, breathwork, therapy, herbalism, and more. Which all played a huge role in her healing. She shares her whole story in a powerful way on this week's episode. And honestly, I think everyone would benefit from listening. If you've got chronic pelvic pain, this is especially for you. But if you don't, your compassion for those who do will expand exponentially. Share this one far and wide, friends. It's the kind of story that lends hope to all of us.
