Good introductory explanation. However, as someone that battled Thoracic Outlet Syndrome for over 20 years only to discover it was a disorder of the fascia in my neck and shoulder area, I would make one critical suggestion for people wondering about how to "release" fascia. Fascia has enormous tensile strength (approximately 2000 lbs per square-inch at a maximum "safe stretch") Fascia does not "release" with increased stress, therefore the stretch must be firm-yet-gentle and, the most crucial part, the stretch must be sustained for AT LEAST 3 minutes before a "release" will occur. That is a bare minimum for minor problems with tense fascia. If you're dealing with a long-term fascia issue, you need to hold the stretch for at least 5 minutes...even that isn't really enough. The longer the stretch, the more the fascia will release. I find the magic number to be about 10 minutes for the most rigid fascia (we're talking 20 years worth of rigidity) A gentle, controlled stretch can do wonders for fascia if it's held long enough. You can also do the fascia neck stretch shown in this video yourself but tying an extra-light, extra-long yoga band to a sturdy banister, hooping it over your shoulder and tilting/rotating your head to the opposite side until you feel the tense area stretch.
I forgot to mention, hydration before stretching is essential as the ground substance of fascia, the gel-like substance that feeds and hydrates all collagen and elastin fibers (including fascia) is primarily composed of water (along with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and glycoproteins) If you're not well-hydrated before and after a fascia release, you're just going to get more inflammation...and the vicious cycle will continue
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
This is why everyone should be working Functional Patterns methods. You shouldn't be stretching the fascia at all. You release it through massage and re-train the fascia through proper movement. If anyone has not yet gotten into FP, you need to ASAP.

This person is an amazing teacher. Thank you for this!
A few years ago, we use to throw the fascia away to get to the muscles and bones during an autopsy. We didn’t really pay much attention to it!
Wowww, he just blew my mind!! The way he explained it Whoa!!! Incredible mind! Very informative as you always bring the heat brother! Thank you!
Wow! Said with gusto. Love the passion and it is contagious.
This vodeo goes more in depth than a 12 class I took. Love it!
For a person with little medical knowledgeable; like myself, this is a brilliantly expressed explanation for how the body works. Thanks for the great info.
thanks to both of you so so much! It is really providing the clarity to the murky idea of fascia
Wow ... Awesome explanation
Great explanation. I found this very helpful.
it's just awesome. i want more!
Fantastic lecture, thank you!
Thanks to Tom Myer's and many others pioneering work so much free content is now available on the internet suitable for training in fascial dynamics that are immediately applicable to manual therapists who are willing to find these resources, study them and apply what they learn. Very expensive trainings, in person and online, are a wonderful indulgence, but fortunately, as we all want to help as many people as we can, not just the wealthy (training therapists and treating clients), the resources are now available for free. UA-cam is a great resource.
Awesome stuff!!!
I'm currently reading Sue Hitzmann's book on her MELT Method, and this video has totally helped to clarify the concept of how fascia functions in the body. Who knew fascia runs through bone and not just around it? Now it's a bit easier to visualize what is happening while using the techniques in her book. Thomas Myers is a very good instructor. Thank you.
I’m currently using some MM techniques with my Pilates instructor, and in the second round of her beginners course. With the first course she taught, she mentioned the relationship between the fascial lines and the meridians in TCM. I have had acupuncture multiple times and this resonated with me. I spent a few hours at home afterwards reading links and articles about the two, which is where I heard of Thomas Myers , and then reconnected it with the information in her bio that she has done a workshop with him. So cool. I can remember in school having zero interest in the body and how it works, and now, I’m just trying to suck it up and learn learn learn. I’m not squicked out like I was, and realizing how amazing we are. How amazing our bodies are. How amazing movement and all of the autonomic stuff that happens is.
@@plunkybug Yay for you. I hope you learn a lot!! I'm fascinated with breathing and Wim Hof now and listening to, "What Doesn't Kill Us: How Freezing Water, Extreme Altitude and Environmental Conditioning Will Renew Our Lost Evolutionary Strength." At this point, however, 30 seconds of cold water in the shower is the most I can handle!! The breathing technique is pretty interesting -- a lot like holotropic breathwork. Enjoy your learning curve. :)
Thank you for posting
Yeh the classic to show how interconnected everything is is to use a tennis ball to roll out your foot. After spending 2 minutes on each foot you feel the release in your entire leg, particularly the hamstring.
Thank you! Great explanation.
Love this! Thank you
excellent and simple !
ty for sharing awesome video
awesome! Thank you for this. I am a massage therapist and this will help me explain fascia to people that have never heard of it before.
Very well explained. Thank you. I have a quick follow up question so can I say epimysium is nothing but fascia and is visible when one cut opens the body. As per what I have read, it says the inner layer of fascia is called as epimysium, so is epimysium nothing but connective tissues that are actually connected to the muscle?
Good video!
Fantastic info given by a man who has a very Carl Sagan-esque vibe.
Wish I could sub twice.
Amazing!
thanks man good stuff!!

thank you! I got it now!!!!
super interesting.....
thanks
Our posture has a direct effect on the way we feel be it our mood or confidence like sitting/standing up straight and open up tricks your mind into feeling more confident and you can even absorb more information than i.e when sitting back with crossed arms
Or maybe its that our mindset has more of an effect on our posture...
Or maybe it's our genes that do (or do not) offer us health and the possibility to have a perfect posture and mindset...
HI ! Naudi, whrere can I get more info about fascia? Thanks for your videos!!
this guys a fucking genius I swear in 50 years anatomy and especially biomechanics will be taught differently because of these concepts of fascia, in many ways it's been obvious!!!
It’s already started. I am in uni for registered massage therapy and we learn about it at every level. Superficial, deep, intro, advanced, etc.
i am so fascinated by it
Don't you mean "fascianated"?
Hello! I love this video! Sadly, in the Hispanic public is very little known the work of Thomas Myers. Would you allow me to insert in one of my videos a fragment of this video to promote your channel and the Tom Myers's channel?
en españa siempre vamos atrasados...
@@Drvictorseitz Desde 2014 vengo aplicando el Spine Engine de DrGracovetzky y el tejido Miofascial en el deporte que soy instructor gracias a Kelvin Miyahira (el empezó en 2009). Este Viernes tengo una ponencia con instructores compañeros de la PGA de Argentina... años tarde... pero despertando. Saludos!
AWESOME
Jeff Goldblum's monologue doppleganger, right here.
It jist occured to me he kind of looks like Dean Anderson (McGyver)
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing I agree! He looks like McGyver!
Good info but his voice needs to grow on me.
It makes perfect sense.
Is there fascia in the thoracic back, all across it, and over both kidneys? For 4 years I have been having horrific pain in my thoracic spine like a knife that someone stabbed me with and left there. Then I feel as if I ha e 2pitchforks sticking into my thoracic back on both sides of the spine, sometimes it feels as if claws are clawing me from the inside of my thoracic back. I also get, infrequently, much dull squeezing pain over both kidneys, so bad. I have it now. My MRI of thoracic back only shows that most of my discs are bulging centrally and touching the covering of the spinal cord. I am dying of pain. What can I do to make my discs not bulge?
Is the facia a uniform thickness through out the body. How thick where?
Wow.thankyou.
Hello Havre de Grace!
You look like Richard Dean Anderson.
What are your thoughts on Fascia Blasting? Do you think Fascia Blasting traumatizes the liquid crystalline matrix more than it helps? How does that differ from Myofascial release?

Was this question ever answered about blasting ?
Watch this... Gil Hedley responding to your querie here. Love his work on fascia .. ;) ua-cam.com/video/08Bj3JKsxbg/v-deo.html
The goal of fascia blasting is to release the bands of tissue that trap cellulite. It’s sold like it helps muscles but the whole point is to release fat by increasing circulation in the subdermis which is debatable.
5:30 I feel there are some things we need to unpack some time in a future session.
“If you’re really going to get any joy out of being depressed....”
yesss!
It's funny....even when dissecting the "first cat/Ox eye/Ginny Pig....we all observe the fascia....but pay little attention to it; in "olden days" of medical training; biology, whatever. Now....this is a great video to "teach" how we "stay together"...live within our water compartments/water gels now...is a major hypothesis that is gathering phenomenal growth and understanding that "WATER itself"....with our systemic fascia...keeps us together by "ionic charge potentials", or by physical barrier.
Nice video...thanks.
Just in time to realize the blessing of water for functioning just as our planet is running out of jt. DOH!
You the man
Did Andrew T. Still explain fascia for the first time?
What nutrition should we focus on to keep the Facia from cramping up?
Keeping hydrated .. water
Funny point..
''(...) If you really are getting any joy out of being depressed you have to take the posture that goes with being depressed.''

Es muy bueno pero...por favor permitan la traduccion a otros idiomas. Gracias

What's your opinion on the fascia blaster vs the graston technique? and is the fascia blaster really working the fascia or breaking up scar tissue?
I have been using the fascia blaster for about five weeks. I am using it to release quads and hamstrings which are bound in fascia due to an injury which made the leg pretty much unusable for 2.5 years. The quad does not fire at all! Also, it will not stretch to allow the knee to bend beyond a certain point. The muscles are LOCKED and will not yield, allowing me to bend my knee. Yesterday I was walking really fast (still trying to jog but the quad wont fire enough to land on the leg under the weight of my body.) Yesterday, out of the blue, i was (again) trying to jog and damn if I didn't come close to getting off the ground. I have been hobbling on that leg for 4 years. A few days ago I was walking in a parking lot and realized.... I was walking fast! In a totally organic and unexpected way, I was making time. I was flabbergasted because I had always had a fast gait until my injury, and it was just "back" again. (I've really been working that leg with the fascia blaster). Also, I stand up very slowly because the quad needs time to come online. It forces me to stand up slowly. The other day I went to get up off a chair, and just stood up, boom, like a normal person! I'm all in for the fascia blaster. It may take a year to get my leg back, but by golly, I'm seeing progress!!
Hey! Any updates here on your progress?
The blaster is not safe. It has BPA in the plastic and thousands of women are getting adverse reactions from when Ashley Black told ppl to go hard to a pain scale of 7. They now have a Facebook page for more information. Page is called FasciaBlasting Adverse Effects. Over 7k belong and growing. The stick was promoted by Ashley Black who does not have any ties with the Fascia Congress of leading experts, researches & Doctors. Makes you wonder why when she calls herself the leading expert.

So.. is fascia just connective tissue?
basically yeah
the difference between tissue and cells is the fascia a.k.a. connective tissue
one thing that you guys miss it that fascia is also gas circulation system and it is responsible for most diseases, many cultural behaviours as even religions (way people pray and much more)
Where do you read about the gas circulation being responsible for most diseases?
@@magnoliabird its qi
Can your fascia fight back and make your body shake or is it the therapist shaking me?
He's smart
Am looking for any further information on Ida Roth and coming up with zero. Does anyone have a link to this Roth scientist please?

Actually we are 99% water including intracellular & interstitial phase four water.
bravo/
can someone summarize it for dudes who have problems in english =(
He just did ;)
Everything is connected to everything else

Prophet Muhammad mentioned fascias 14 centuries ago!
Ellen Degeneres has really let herself go
