// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //
I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.
My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.
// NEW CONTENT ON UA-cam //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to UA-cam with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.

My new favorite roller: omroller.com/?ref=11
Imagine for a moment that the clothes you’re wearing right now shrunk 5 sizes. You’d be pretty unhappy right? I mean - it would be hard to breathe, move or do ANYTHING well.
If you’re walking around right now feeling achy, heavy, like a lead weight, OR if you’re in pain or recovering from an injury, then chances are your fascia - the connective tissue webbing that wraps everything in our bodies - is dehydrated, stuck to itself in knots and too small for you to move and live efficiently; not unlike how YOU would feel if your clothes suddenly shrunk.
What the heck is fascia?
Fascia wraps every nerve ending in the body, every muscle fibril, muscle fiber and muscle bundle and all that fascia turns into your tendons and ligaments; it wraps our bones and our organs…it’s EVERYWHERE.
Fascia is crucial for proper nerve communication, and because of its close relationship to the nervous system - fascia takes on the PHYSICAL SHAPE of our EMOTIONS, SENSATIONS and SUBCONSCIOUS feelings and patterns. This means we can re-wire the brain by changing the fascia, which requires recruiting the nervous system and clearing out of our past traumas, memories, tension and anything that got stuck in our bodies on even an emotional level but certainly physical.
We’re all born with fluid, healthy, supple fascia. This is why kids can fall so much, get injured and recover so fast (and that’s why we all ignore our bodies as we enter adulthood, until we get smacked in the head with pain, amiright?!)
When we’re kids, we’re SHAPING our soft tissue with our physical, mental and emotional habits. Those myelin sheaths are getting laid down and our fascial system is getting molded by the way we sit, stand, run and what we think and feel on a daily basis.
As we age - everything from overuse, underuse, trauma, stress, anxiety etc can creates a BUILD UP of tension within the fascial system that accumulates and eventually - this tension creates DYSFUNCTION.
When fascia is supple, fluid and elastic it acts like a giant spring, or SHOCK ABSORBER for our entire body. We SHOULD be able to jump, run, and do whatever we want and feel light and buoyant as we do.
Healthy fascia won’t hurt AT ALL when compression is applied. For example, I could put my FULL body weight on your IT BAND and it would not hurt. I pinky swear.
Unhealthy fascia HURTS when compression is applied, to varying degrees. If you get on a foam roller or someone steps on you, like me, and it hurts? That means the fascia is unhealthy.
What does fascia NEED to get or stay healthy?
SPACE. And nutrient rich blood. Space allows blood to flow. Blood nourishes every cell in our body, so our fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, organs etc stay healthy.
Fascia needs to be hydrated to allow our muscle fibers to GLIDE like they need to when we ask our bodies to move.
When we build up fascial adhesions or restriction, these knots and areas of density can stop blood from flowing, irritate a joint that’s no longer getting fresh blood to renew the bursa, pull on bones or joints, compress nerves and cause all kinds of pain and alignment issues.
Most pain in the body can be significantly relieved and often completely eliminated in as little as a few minutes with the right methods, and even decades of pain can be reversed in a matter of several hours or weeks by looking to the fascial and nervous systems to create change from the inside out.

What was your favorite part of the video, did you learn anything new? Share below! I'd also LOVE to hear how you're using effective fascial release to not only get yourself out of pain, but optimize your body so you can live an unstoppable life (whatever that means for you). If you've used MY methods - tell me about it! There's NO better feeling in the world to me than helping people get pain-free and find their freedom. For me, freedom means being able to climb mountains, hike, go trail running and being fit to do the activities I love until I leave this world. You?
All of it. I've been in chronic pain for 35 yrs, since about 8yrs old and it's only grown and grown. I'm now doing physio and massage - both of which help BUT I feel like nothing yet has "unlocked" anything new for me. It's very gradual (but to be fair, constant) change and small improvement daily. I'm wondering if Fascial Stretching might speed up my attempts to normalize my ranges of motion and strength. I found an outfit in Toronto, where I live, that specializes in Fascial Stretching. Do you think I should add it to my stack? Take a few weeks off of the other activities and ONLY do FS for a couple weeks? Something else? Any advice would be appreciated. The video was super informative and inspiring. I'd love to be able to make myself pain free, even if it's hard work at home (which I'm currently doing anyway). Thanks
Thank you SOOO much for sharing this valuable information!!!! You're so amazing! I can't wait to try out your fascia moves! Much love to you and your healing work!
@@cw2544- thank you for sharing some of your story! I'm sorry you've been in pain for so long. I believe you can get FREE! If you're really interested in my recommendations, I suggest a 1-1 phone or Skype consultation. That way I can really help you after getting more of your history, asking a few other questions and guiding you to the next best steps on your healing journey. If ingested you can email elisha@mobilitymastery.com
Otherwise I'd say you can definitely try fascial stretching (I've never experienced it, but from videos I can tell it's VERY different than what I do...so I can't promise you results). I am going to guess, since you've been in pain since age 8, there's a strong nervous system component here. I can help you with that via phone or Skype, or you could check out some of my recent videos on nervous system patterns and releasing emotion from the body. Good luck, I'm rooting for you!
@@sashal.n9454 thank you for being here and sharing! Would love to hear how you feel after trying some of the techniques :)
I love that what you say supports what I've often tried to tell others - but most don't believe it. I once thought I had bursitis in my hips, and my leg muscles were weak. I consulted various different practitioners, but none of them helped. Finally, a chiropractor did some myofascial release as part of a regular treatment, and when I left his office, the pain was suddenly almost gone, and I could stand up more easily. Since then, I've used this technique to successfully treat many other different muscle pain problems.
I have been working on facia release for 10 months because I started paying attention to the gift of pain . Night and day difference in every aspect of my life. I don't think anyone really understands where the rabbit hole goes with this knowledge. This is probably the most important video anyone ever watched.Thank you for sharing.
I've been observing my body ..noticing the intense pain of my facial which normal gets ignored and just paying attention and gently rubbing the painful area which might have also been my spleen meridian I've had a huge shift..I literally got my whole digestive system working better and feeling less bloated and lighter and stronger just from this area in my thighs where the spleen meridian is and where the facia was insanely painful. Its not as painful now and I feel like ah I have tapped into something at last where I can help myself. I cant figure out my back its got so tight and bad no amount of rollering does anything but hurt so I'm gonna see what I can just become aware of by paying attention more. I feel like the pain sort of makes you ignore areas of your body for a long time to avoid the pain but as you say the gift is the pain telling you something. Love your comment.
I discovered the miracle of fascia release after a horrific fall I took off my beach cruiser. I damaged nearly every part of my body, from my shoulder all the way down to my ankle when the heavy bike crushed my left leg and my right leg slammed down like a clam shell on the opposite side of the frame. The bike seat jammed up into my groin and pinched it against the pavement. Luckily I didn't break anything. The pain was horrible.
So, i started researching pain, and what causes it? I've noticed that most therapists like yourself talk about pain, but don't really explain what causes it? Yes, the fascia shrinks when it's damaged and pulls up and down on the kinetic chain causing pain. What I learned (at least I think I learned) is that the pain is caused by a build up of calcium deposits and lactic acid that the body lays down to fix muscle fiber tears. The way I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong) it that the calcium grinds against your nerves, thus causing pain. Not only do you need to stretch out those fascia fibers, but you also need to release the calcium from scarred tissue. Taking 500 mg of magnesium per day has REALLY helped remove the calcium that I am releasing when I work on my fascia and muscle fibers.
Also, what I discovered while trying to repair the newer bike accident injuries, was the 'old' sports and work related damage I didn't even know I had. For example; I was a paper boy for 2 years when I was 12 years of age. Carrying a 50 lb sack of newspapers around my neck completely threw my shoulder girdle off and thus my posture has been horrible for years (I'm 66 now). Once I discovered this amazing technique of removing the calcium deposits and stretching out the fascia, I was able to bring back perfect posture. I no longer have pain in my shoulders or back. It's amazing.
I've spent 10 months working on my bike accident injuries which opened up all sorts of past roller-blading spills where I landed on my backside which messed up my pelvis tilt. What a journey this has been! Now, I'm almost finished a total recondition. It's like restoring an old car. I can swim laps for an hour. Ride 30 miles on my bicycle and walk for miles, nearly pain free. Truly, I feel like 30 again, but with better posture!! ;)
Now, the only way I could have managed to achieve this is with the help of an electric 'percussion' massager. You can buy it on Amazon for about $30. One of the best investments I've ever made. This two headed hand held machine basically tenderizes the fascia and muscle tissue so you can dig in with your hands and tennis balls to ultimately release all the scar tissue. It's almost like sanding an old car to remove rust. It takes a lot of time, depending how much damage you've accumulated. But it works.
Finally, when I want to work on a particular muscle group, I heat it up with a electric heating pad. Get it toasty. Then I apply my percussion massager and 'sand' it all out while stretching the muscle. Be warned, the release of lactic acid will make you feel sick. So drink a lot of water. Also, I do heavy dossing of Vitamin C to help rebuild the collagen fiber that new muscle tissue is comprised of. Remember, you're going to have to rebuild and develop your muscles/tendons/ligaments once you clean them out. But they redevelop quickly once the new tissue fibers are laid down (muscle memory). Seriously, I feel like 30 again!
Sorry for the essay, but it's sooo well worth doing if you have the time and determination.
Thank you for this awesome explanation of what, much to my delight, I discovered on my own - because I didn't have insurance to cover physical therapy ;)
p.s. your tight clothing analogy to describe fascia pain is the very best I've run across.
Thanks for sharing your story! I believe we can recreate our bodies at any age, with persistence and the right tools. Sounds like you were able to do that for yourself! Amazing. From my perspective having worked with fascia in the particular way I do (stepping on people and using compression + movement to release the fascia), I'm not sure it has to be as time-consuming and complex as what you've described here. Although I'm also not sure there's a better way without having access to someone who does Kinetix (my method) or similar.
I have a different theory as to what's happening with the stuck fascia and how it causes pain - I believe it's several things all happening at once: myelin sheaths that have been laid down due to repeating physical and psychological patterns over and over (think about any sports or repetitive movements we do while thinking/feeling strongly). This creates "thickened" areas of fascia where the myelin was laid down over many years. The other thing to keep in mind is: pain is perception. Always. Now, that doesn't mean it's not "real" and it also doesn't mean we're not in danger. But the body and brain are like smoke detectors in a house, alerting us to POSSIBLE threats (fires) but it's our job to figure out if it's just smokey from cooking or an actual fire that could burn the house down. So to eliminate pain we have to create a different perception of our internal landscape (interoception). And then there's the actual physiological impact giant fascial adhesions have on our alignment, nerves etc. I could nerd out on it all day ;)
I'm happy you're swimming and biking and feel like a 30 year old again! Good for you :)
Yes, I know what you mean by the 'thickened' areas. Seems to me that once you get injured and scar tissue builds up, then any kind of muscle building after the injury just lays on top of the scar tissue. So that means you will eventually have to dig down and through the new muscle tissue to get at and remove the old scar if you want your muscles to function like new again.
It's all so fascinating and truly exciting! I completely understand how you could 'nerd' out on it all day. I could too! Keep up your important work. I'll be watching. :)
Omg. That sounds like wht I am going thru. And i hv intense unbelievable fascia knots on the outside of my thighs. I realized some time ago tht massages dont work for this prblm. Learning quite a bit from the video & ur comment here. I am still trying to fig out what to do. Now I suffer from severe sciatic pain down my right leg.
What you have described here is incredible! I am curious about the relationship between magnesium and calcium release that you spoke of. What drive you to believe the magnesium aids in the removal of build up calcium? How did you think to do that?
I am very curious as I am a massage therapist, and I'm looking to learn more effective ways to help my clients with chronic pain. Beyond that i find it fascinating whenever someone has it in them to carve their own path to better health, any information and ideas you'd like to share with me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking any time you do in reading and replying to this!
Thank you for sharing your essay...lol. It was incredibly inspiring and gave me a lot of hope that I too can heal myself. I am so happy for you that you get to enjoy your life now. Congratulations!
Very good video I’m a certified fascia resistance stretcher (the genius of flexibility)and everything she says is accurate. I’ve been doing this for 10 years and I cannot begin to tell you how many amazing things I’ve seen in my line of work!
Where can we start to find a fascia specialist? Is there a medical term for the profession?
Where were you certified ? I’d love to hear more.
Ditto! PLEASE TELL US!❤
All stretching is stretching fascia.
Google "Find a myofascial release therapist near me." I have had 2 sessions so far, mostly working on wrists and hands (I have trigger thumb). It's helping! My plan is to avoid thumb surgery, I think I can!
I was in a car accident and come to find out I had no magnesium or potassium in my muscles. I was dehydrated, severely dehydrated from vomiting and diarrhea because of past pain issues and the pain medicine. I was both unable to fill my prescriptions and come to find out people were breaking in my house and stealing a week supply out of my month supply!
This caused me all sorts of problems but I think the worst issue was that during the accident all of my muscles tightened up for the impact and they locked down and stayed tight especially in my abdomen. All of the abdomen muscles and deep inside along my spine around my belly button the muscles were tight and stayed tight after the accident. It took me a long time to realize that I was in a dehydrated state for a very long time plus no magnesium or potassium. I was taking magnesium but I only started to get better after adding the potassium.
I really appreciate what you're saying because I believe my fascia also locked up during this car accident because of being in a dehydrated state. I have been hydrating myself for quite some time now drinking or trying to drink half my body weight in ounces a day.
I also found a therapist that gave me specific stretches that helped released the fascia around my chest! It was really bad where I had restricted breathing as in it was hard to take a deep breath. Also the chiropractor's were unable to get my back to adjust at all. If it did adjust a little bit you could tell just by the sound how tight everything was. This therapist really helped and the stretches while doing deep breathing helped release a lot of different muscles as you put them into a stretched position where they start to hurt. Hold that position and then breathe deep very slowly but not too slow and then out. She told me to do this three times and raise it up to six times and it has helped tremendously!
I believe I have also learned that if your body and your core is in a weakens state that these muscles and fascia will tighten back up because it's trying to hold your body up. The muscles are not strong enough to keep you upright then this fascia and other muscles and tendons will tighten much easier. Weak muscles tend to get tight and stay tight until their strengthened. This has been a vicious circle for me and when you're in a super weakened state it's very hard to build strength but as I stay faithful to walking 30 minutes a day and being gentle with myself as I do light strength exercises and slowly increase the weight I can tell things are improving. Also doing planks and things to strengthen your core has helped me tremendously. I hope this helps someone out there because when your core is in a weak state then it's easier to overdo and then your body will crash for days. Also events and people will affect you emotionally way more with a weakened core...

As a diabetic I developed an electrolyte imbalance that caused a lot of fascia spasms. You could watch the twitching in my aching legs. I added a sugar free electrolyte drink and in one day it stopped. This was not something my doctor warned me about. Better control of my blood sugar helped with the dehydration you are referring to, but until I replaced the potassium that was causing the spasms it did not improve,
Dear Kathy... As a professional Healthcare worker my whole life, I have come to the conclusion that our U.S. system is more concerned with capitalism & making money ( Medical Insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies,etc) with the goals of KEEPING THE PATIENT IN THE CIRCLE OF ILLNESS, AND KEEPING THE MONEY FLOWING TO THEM! It's obvious how pharmaceutical companies are so integrated in medical schools, etc! They have far too much influence on the training future doctors to use their drugs for profiting from keeping people sick and keeping people on their drugs and more drugs to treat those side effects RATHER than going to the ROOT CAUSE of the disease and finding ways to cure it! Our system sucks!
People should be talking about the connection between electrolytes, fluid balance, and all of the body's soft tissues! Thanks for sharing.
Taking magnesium helped me so much. I do feel like I need more potassium but that is not sold as a supplement in my country and since my juicer broke I haven't been drinking veggies and find it hard to eat a lot. I should get a nre one I'm just annoyed that I can fix my old one which should be fixable..
@@Padraigpcream of tartar is Potassium so it’s easy to make your own electrolyte mix by adding a good mineral sea salt with it to your favorite juice.
@albemarlegirl5734 I did not know this. I found a salt called losalt which instead if sodium has potassium but I don't know if that's any use. We can get dioralyte which is for diarriah but they're insanely expensive for using often. I got some prune juice but it ended up sitting in the fridge for a month lol! I'll give that a look up thank you very much.
I just started craniosacral therapy a few months ago and it is the only thing that has relieved the extreme body armor I have had since I was a teenager from cptsd and a back injury. My fascia and muscles were so tight for the last 45 years that any type of massage or self therapy was painful. I am now soft enough to be able to utilize these and it is such a relief! I also have had the chronic knee & hip pain you speak of as well as upper body pain especially in the neck and shoulders. Thank you for your work to help others ❤
I have had balance issues all my life. This woman is the real deal and I can stand on my tiptoes for the first time since I was 12. I’m 50+ years old and have a mild form of muscular dystrophy.
Thank you. ♥️♥️♥️
Glad ur seeing improvement!
I have been in a car accident as a baby and have been clumsy throughout my entire life. So I fell, stumbled, sprained almost every joint during childhood and adolescence. Even as a child every nudge of my body was painfull. My father would joke that my body was a musical instrument, since I would make a sound where ever I was touched. I never found it funny and did always tell him it was because I felt pain at the touch. I never was a nimble child. Exercise was hell for me. Walking, street, sand, climbing stairs. I have tried so much, but kept getting stiffer and more restricted when trying to get more supple by almost any thing I worked with. When touching my body I can feel small pebbles and grain like particles between my skin and on my muscles. I am so done with feeling so restricted when my mind wants to be able to move. What you are telling me makes so much sense. I have benefitted from chiropractor and trigger point, dry needling, but it always was temporary. I am mostly bedridden nowadays because moving is so painfull and exhausting (after a couple of injuries which made me bedridden. I am committed to renovate my body and your knowledge will be crucial. I know it will be a lot of work, but I want to live, not just exist.
I've just started watching about 3 days ago, and I started with quads, adductors and IT band. After working with foam roller this morning my legs felt lighter. I then hiked and I felt light on my feet.
I was most influenced when you said, "healthy fascia wouldn't hurt when applying pressure". I've got some work to do. 64 years of fascia neglect 😮. THANK YOU. I'm committed.
Wow! Decades ago, I had my then boyfriend stand on my thighs just like this. He thought I was crazy, he couldn't believe I needed so much pressure in a massage. He was worried he was going to hurt me but It just felt incredibly relieving for him to just stand on me. I thought it was my muscles that were so tight, but now I know it was my fascia.
I am autistic. I was diagnosed as a kid and I’m now 42. I have always been small just under 5 feet tall and under 140. Four years ago I gained a bit of weight after two miscarriages, I was explaining to my doctor that although I had not gained much weight I felt tight and wrong and not pliable enough over my bones. They thought I had an eating disorder or another tick. No I could feel the tightness of my fascia. So I did research and changed my fascia to full health. I healed myself and I knew what was wrong . It was empowering, So then I started to look closer at the other things I think and feel and LOW AND BEHOLD in these last four years we have discovered I’m not autistic I’m INCREDIBLY sensitive to changes in my body and environment. I just feel EVERYTHING and I am so thankful that my tightened fascia led me to truths and healing ❤️🩹.
Ugh… I want to feel better. I have pain all over my body all the time. ALL THE TIME. Thanks for this video I’m so happy to be on this journey.
Me to, but doctor say is fibromyalgia
I'm beginning to believe that FM pain is made worse by restricted fascia.... the more pain we feel, the less likely we are to move. When you become more body aware... you can tell the difference between muscle pain from disuse and restricted fascia being torn apart.
Learned about this a few weeks ago when I read the book, "The Permanent Pain Cure" after suffering horrible hip pain for years. Great video!
Wow this is just incredible information. The connection between nervous system and fascia and fibro/pain and trauma makes so much sense. Thank you so much. This affirms the path of healing I've been nudged to pursue. This is a miracle. 💛💛💛
Hi Kathleen - yay! You're following your intuition and inner wisdom to solutions that feel right to you, and THAT in itself is part of the healing process. I'm so glad this felt affirming. You also left a blog comment asking how to work with me in person. Would you please send an email to info@elishaceleste.com ? Sometimes when I email someone first it goes into spam (since it's a business email). We can set up a free phone consultation if working with me is something you want to explore. Either way, I'm glad you're finding the resources to heal yourself 💕✨
Agreed Kathleen... I went through lots of trauma and developed fibro...
Same here, but I also think that my dietary choices (especially caffeine nad sugar during the time of highest stress) weakened my resilience. At this moment, I'm unable to have even a sip of coffee without having severe nervous reaction. It all adds up. I'm sad that I didn't know about it sooner, but how could I know when I was well and fighting for survival in the midst of chaos, right? I hope you found your way in managing fibro.@@Journey11
I've had chronic and worsening neck/back pain since I was 16, I've had every possible test and scan and been through PT three times but nothing works and the pain is still debilitating. Today I found out about fascia through a random youtube recommendation and I'm fairly certain I have found the root of 7+ years of pain
how's it going? what exercises are ya doing?
I’m feeling the exact same and I just want to gobble up all the information possible as quickly as possible!!! I’m desperate for pain relief!!
I am just now finding you. I can not be more thankful for these videos. My pec minor thanks you.
You have explained the pain that I am going through. Thank you! Now I know what to address and work with it. GOD BLESS YOU
You have insight that not many others do.
I'm a myofascial trainer for the past 20 years. I've made much great gains and changes, especially postural doing this type of work as opposed to "muscle" training
Wonderful information, great stuff pain is part of the release for sure . I remember in Thailand a Thai traditional healer cure my migraine headaches by manipulating a facia knot in my upper back , he used a wooden tool to press so hard I thought he was going to break me and at same time ask me to move the arm and neck. Headache was gone for good after 30 years of suffering.
I appreciate your information on fascia, little is known about it. I have not been diagnosed with IT Band syndrome, but upon my own research I really believe that is what’s going on. Your findings make sense with my chronic pain and loss of flexibility and movement. Thank you
Please forward information on treatments

Xrays and mri dont show fascia. I've been a trigger point devotee for close to 20 years.and avoided surgery because of it. You're definitely onto something. Thanks for sharing this little known discipline.
After having an undiagnosed abdominal vascular nerve compression for 15 years, even after the release of my Mesenteric ligament, my epigastric area is like you say, squeezing, tightening, painful. I’m now sitting with a pain stimulator that worked with the trial, but not with the permanent one. Oh how I wish I would have seen this before!
My favorite part is you explaining my pain. I've spent so much time and money on myself. Whole body pain.
great advice I was seeking, thank you!
You're welcome, I'm glad to hear this was helpful! What's one question you have for me, so I can keep you in mind when I create new content?
Thank you, I am getting nerdy about fascia and I want to learn about these release techniques. I learned that the fascia is so intimately connected with the nervous system! Awareness through movement!
This is what brought me to your channel. I've waited years for you to return to this subject. Yay! In the meanwhile, I've gone from horrible fascia pain all the way to functional. The suffering I put myself through has been the most difficult thing I've ever done. But I knew it would result in a better body. It worked. My knee tendonitis is gone. The tightness throughout my back and calves and everything is gone. It was literally torture. But now I'm 62 and young. Thanks.
Also, the dehydration is due to acid ash forming foods. I'm still getting miraculous results by having eliminated what I used to love- animal products. Acidosis causes almost all of our ailments. Changing to fruit has had a profound effect on many areas in my life. I'm seeing it in others too.
WOW!!! Amazing work! Thank you for being here and waiting for me to come back, I'm so happy to be back filming videos for you all :) Incredible testimony to the human spirit AND body, your story! YES. I'm inspired! Thank you for sharing.
I definitely need a brain rewire lol no but serious thanks for this information

Yea! I 9ften wondered about this. Thank you.
Wow so helpful thank you God Bless!
Such useful information, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
My favorite part of the video is the hope it brings for improved health and pain relief. I've dealt with tmj pain for several years and recently was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. While doing recommended at-home therapy exercises and stretches, I started exploring and researching the muscles involved and began to see how everything is connected to everything else. I've read about fascia, but your description is the most clear that I've heard. I'm going to check out more of your videos and incorporate fascia release into my daily movement routine. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the info
Excellent information!
Great video! My fave parts were the tight clothing analogy and the photo and explanation of where the facia is. I’m in the fitness industry and work mostly with the aging population. I regularly do my own facia release with foam rolling and plan to start teaching a group class on it. I’ve subscribed and like and can’t wait for more info!
Amazing information! Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for this💗. I needed this info today. Right on target!
I have been looking for this video for years. Thanks
Awesome thanks
Yep. My hips have been out of balance since my childhood. Right side is higher than the left. My sister took me to see a therapist (at that time they called it P.U.S.H. - pressure under soft hands). She did exactly what is explained here, with her elbows. She mostly leaned into the side of my quads and hips. Before I left her office, I went to the restroom and checked in the mirror. My hips were even. I could always tell by the zipper of my pants because if it was straight vertically that meant balanced. Prior to that the zipper would tilt to the left.
Omg my zippers always tilt too I always knew the left side of my body is tighter, I always clench the left side of my body even in sleep and everything on the left, like bra straps & sleeves fall off or are longer, and clothing is tilted towards the left. I want to correct this so much.

I'm just learning about this and it is some incredible information ... it has helped me so much ... just subscribed ... thank you so much !
👍🏼💪🙏👍🏼💪🙏
Elisha, could you please talk about DRY NEEDLING and your thoughts about it? I have just discovered it and I think it's a FABULOUS adjunct to the pioneering, FABULOUS work that you are doing! Thanks for your wonderful, caring service to people who are in pain!
My prayers have been answered about my pain! Thank you
You have given me an excellent starting point!
This is so crazy, I knew it! I instinctively have asked people to step on me feeling it was my only way for relief.... Most people won't. The rollers and balls have literally saved my life.
Definitely wanting to learn more! Diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2000 and in pain 24/7...Tired of pills and being treated like a drug seeker by pain management Drs when all I want is to live a somewhat normal life with "Quality of Life!" I would love to be able to tell them all to go to Hell-that I don't need them anymore! Years ago I bought a book on myofascial pain but you've explained it better and given me more hope in 11 minutes then THAT WHOLE BOOK DID!
Start by not saying goto hell in the attitude but you have great go get em spirits. Do you have a plan beyond learning? A plan to act and do? If so update us. I saw one gentleman commented a foam roller 3x a day took him from barely able to walk to a top triathlon competitor 25 years later. Wow! very intimidating to think of a foam roller 3x a day😢 Good luck
Interesting and definitely great intro. Thank you
Very informative and easy to understand...thank you I’m going to try it...
Thanks for watching! Would love to know which technique(s) you try and how you feel after.
I need this!
Ok I"m ready at 72 and want to keep facia fluid, flexible , aligned.
Been doing myofacial release for 27 years. Patient came with not being able to take a deep breath for 2 years. Been for cat scans ,ct scans and ultrascans.multiple doctor and chiropractor visits with no relief.I applied myofacia release to the diaphragm muscle for 10 minuits and she was able to take her first deep breath in 2 years. I use myofacia release with my massage in every treatment i do.It works great David
It's an amazing feeling helping people like that!
I have suffered from poor diaphragmatic breathing for nearly 20 years after a bad car accident when my neighbor fell asleep and rear ended me while I was in park in front of my house. Chiro used to do that amazing “surprise” release for my diaphragm. How can I accomplish something similar myself?
@@EmilyKnight413 Hi Emily. The way i release the diaphragm is to have a patient lay on their back with a pillow under their knee's. The patient breaths normal while doing this. One hand on top of the other i apply firm pressure down on the top ribs just below the sternum and hold this for 3 minutes. Then i do both sides of the ribs pushing in from the side and holding each side for 3 minutes . If you have someone that can assist you (husband partner or friend) this can easily be done at home. See how you go David
@@davids1227 thanks so much. That’s my former chiropractor did ages ago back in New Orleans. He was the Saints’ chiropractor and a genius of sports medicine/ mobility. I remember he did exactly this then as soon as I was comfortable he would let go and VROOM all the air would come in. It was incredible. I’m quaranting at the moment as I’m a realtor and may have been exposed but once I get my
Negative results back (🤞🏻) I’ll have my best friend do it.
@@EmilyKnight413 Hope it all goes well for you Emily . Feel free to let me know if you need any more info. David from Australia
Thank you for this informative video. I'm glad I found you. I did a quick look into your other videos, and they looked like something I need to watch. I've subscribed and am interested in learning more.
Very excited about trying this. Was doing research for a client with burning stingers in upper back and neck.
Burning stingers? Hmm
only just discovered your channel - and I love it.
Always looking at videos about facia/hip pain and have found you now. I’ve downloaded and subscribed as well but couldn’t get on the Facebook page due to content not available. I’m trying whatever it takes to rid my pain and so many have helped but yours takes another approach so I will try you too. Thank you so much for wanting to share what you know to people in pain for free as I think it is. I truly appreciate you!

I am so grateful for you and you're amazing informative videos that I'm sharing with everyone I know and love
for themselves
But more ....
so that they can understand me and my conditions and my complaints and what I've been going through for many years
and what I'm going through right now. 😔
I have been looking for an explanation forever
I am ecstatic that I've finally found you❣️ and somebody who can explain what's been going on with me and help me get through it.
thank you truly just doesn't cover what II would like to say to you
You are a saving angel. ❤️😇🤗😘🧘♀️🤸♀️❤️
Are you kidding me?!! This was soooo helpful! Instant relief. I know it's a process and I need to do the work. But I am so happy I now have the answer. That in itself is such a relief. Thank you so much for this video!
You're welcome Tony! Which technique did you try? Was it the partner quad/hip flexor technique or something else?
@@ElishaCeleste It was the total information about the Fascia. I've never heard of it until a few weeks ago. I injured my hamstring and now better my knee has limited mobility with pain. My trainer said it is my fascia that is bunched up in the knee and to used a massage ball to loosen it up.
I just started Bowen massage and it seems to help immediately.
You seriously are so cute! I loved the video...your tone, great attitude, and love for the topic comes right out. Thank you!
Such important information! I had fascial adhesions in my obliques that spread to my stomach and diaphragm, causing gastroparesis and compulsive breathholding FOR DECADES. Doctors couldn't do a single thing to help, but I broke up the adhesions all on my own, and now my stomach works perfectly. Still building muscle memory to breathe properly, though. It's such a challenge!
Hi, how did you do this? I have the exact same problem! Thanks
I HAVE THIS! including breathing. how did you break it up yourself??!
How u doing now?
How did you do that?
I need this so bad I’m ready
I am committed to changing my fascia. Thank you for the video.
💛 Lots of videos to help you on my channel 😊
THE most amazing thing that I discovered a few months ago that has changed my life .....so o o grateful.
I love your explanations. When I understand something I can be more motivated to take better care of myself!
Yay! My #1 goal is making this information understandable and applicable for anyone who wants to take care of their body. What brought you to this video?
Omg in so glad I found this I've been having this problem for over 10 years and I have an apt for orthopedic surgeon next week I need to take this discovery to my chiropractor love love love this ty so much
