Traditional Chinese Medicine has known about practically everything we are "rediscovering " and "rebranding" these days. I agree with other comments, give credit where it is due. It's not cutting edge just because you can now see thru an MRI what has been happening for literally millennia. Nonetheless, happy you and others are realizing the wisdom within such an ancient medicine. By the way, the acupuncture needles are doing the exact same thing you are achieving with "extreme" cupping and movements. With traditional cupping, max pumps are usually 3-4, any above will in fact cause damage to the underlying tissues, promoting scar tissue development.
Thank you for this comment! On point
I’m thankful that finally some of this info about Fascia is getting to the mainstream. I’d like to point to the historical line that has finally lead to what we see now entering the mainstream. Ida Rolf was developing and proclaiming much of this in the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s and developing work that includes the Fascial system in many of the ways that these physio’s are now describing. Also, Thomas Myers was a Rolfer, trained by Ida Rolf, who got his massage licence to be able to work in California. Please, give credit where credit is due.
Yeah they even used his diagrams and terms without crediting him. I’d be kicked out of my school for that, but I guess we have higher standards in West Virginia.
@ Vicki it’s basic plagiarism- high schoolers learn not to do it. If people don’t care, it shows something about them.
@ Vicki those of us who actually move science forward, academics, practitioners interested in furthering their studies, anyone who has intellectual property…the list goes on. The presenters themselves were in a hurry and couldn’t take the time to cite their sources verbally, we’re lazy and didn’t put the citations on their diagrams, but at least they had citations at the end of the PowerPoint that can be paused. So, your attitude is actually demeaning the presenters you think you are protecting. They had academic standards even if you don’t.
Thank you for that - it's good to not have women's innovative contributions ignored & erased.
Wow i went to a massage school 20 years ago and they were teaching us about this. Its really cool to see what they taught us was spot on and still relevant today, shout out to utah college of massage therapy, i went to their campus in Las Vegas, it closed down but the family of schools is still going strong
That is so good to know that they were ahead of the times. What is their network and education name that they are associated with and "still strong". Are they a major educational institution and do they still teach the core stuff like this?
@@MusicMagicXStream when i went to massage school it was called Utah college of massage therapy, las vegas campus they are now known as the Cortiva institute with the main campus still located in Salt lake City, im not sure if they were bought out or just rebranded but from what i can tell their core program is very similar to the program i went through back in 2003-2004, excellent program, excellent teachers and the classes still relevant decades later
It's disappointing that massage,so relevant to movement and curing pain, is third or 4th down the list for reimbursement if eligible at all! How long will we have to wait to be heard? Faced with this evidence, the MDs are scrambling to develop meds, machines, and prescribable methods to keep in the reimbursement stream! Watching them scramble!
I graduated from cortiva a few years back, and I absolutely loved the course. They really enriched me as a person all the while giving me the skillset to help people heal. I love it.
@@jameswyckoff759 i totally agree with that, i think people would be able to manage pain and other conditions much better and with less medication if insurance companies would start viewing massage therapy as a legit alternative therapy in the field of medicine instead of just a luxury people pay for once in a while, they could save themselves millions if they just opened their mind to the endless benefits that comes with receiving regular massages
I’ve noticed my fascia is working hard. It’s really helped with my physical therapy.
This is fantastic. One correction...DOs, Osteopathic Physicians, as a baseline, have a medical school curriculum of 200-300 hours dedicated to NeuroMusculoSkeletal integration into the anatomy and physiology didactics with treatment applications for pathophysiologic and dysfunctional ailments of the body. The specialists who focus on this are Osteopathic Manipulative/ NeuroMusculoSkeletal Medicine specialists. I would hope that this revision is made. Thanks and keep up the amazing work. I will use this to educate my patients and students/residents alike!
Most of my training has been with John T. Barnes and so happy to see these techniques becoming more mainstream after all these years. Made my job so much easier physically; helped more of my clients achieve goals and reduce unbearable pain; and has earned me more money then I could have imagined making doing body work. A paradigm change in our perspectives on human anatomy yet fully realized!
This video was great. I would love to hear your thoughts about and/or see yin yoga included into the modalities that do similar things. Very different than other active yoga styles, yin yoga targets fascia, ligaments, joints etc.
Thank you so much for sharing this, no way I could access this info in such a pedagogical way
Un immense merci plein d'amour ❤❤
This was great and underlined what I already knew instinctively as a movement and massage therapist with good scientific detail.
haha SO happy that the fuzz speech was mentioned.. its one of my favorite videos to show to explain fascia to someone
Thank you to Mr Daprato and Mr Leung for a wonderful lecture.
Wonderful speech!!! Thank you.
Amazing lecture! Thank you
Excellent descriptions
Such amazing lecture! Thank you! It explains a lot about chronic pain! 🙏
Great info. I am sure you have heard of Rolfing where we use manual therapy to change the shape of the fascia creating space for movement w ease
This is a really interesting piece. Not what I was looking for but it's provided me with lots of other useful info re fascia and movement. I would love a set of those slides!
I appreciate this video
Amazing lecture! Thanks so much for posting this.
so helpful, so good
Love this!! TY so much!!!
Fantastic lecture!! Thank you!
Great presentation. Very informative.
I would like to note that the negative pressure decompression that they speak of and aim to distinguish from traditional Chinese cupping is not so separate. To my knowledge there are a large variety old Chinese cupping techniques that are not only single stationary cups being left. There are movement based cupping techniques that sound just like what they are describing here. Although it has not been studied in quite the same way, what is being talked about here regarding holistic movement, the fascial feedback, kinetic chains, the connection of mobility and pain with the nervous system, etcetera, is a very old science not just in China. Just a little misunderstanding here, but that doesn't take away from how great of a video and the information shared here is 👍
Yes, you are correct, thank you for taking the time to make this point.
Excellent lecture. As an ol’fart who’s committed to a daily yoga practice, the only term I hear used more than Namaste is fascia. What I wonder about is how the sequence of postures matter; does one sequence improve the health of the fascia more than another? If so, why? Anyway, thanks for posting this lecture, it helped me understand why I’d better keep moving - correctly.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing knowledge. You're helping a lot of people there!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Also do Yamuna Body Rolling! creates space in joints :)
Cool stuff!
thank you very much.
Absolute gold 🥇
Thanks!
Soooo good !!!
Until this video I thought physical therapy was quack science. And maybe it was before 20 years ago - when my last PT went to school. Like the question at the end asked - you need to find a PT who reads the professional literature and interview them!
I'm older, but always loved Rolfing, so i love this video. Thank you, so much, for this.
Yea Rolfers have known these principles for years.
@@Freeyourself206 If only Rolfing had a more encouraging name.
Just now stumbling upon fascia/adhesion and the lateral line with the effects on other or oppossing muscles, causing extreme muscle imblanaces or compensation through the entire body much more intricate than one could imagine far from interesting!
Brilliant lecture touched on lots of ideas I have known a bit about but explains these concepts much more clearly with more clarity than other sources. Very inspiring on my journey of learning about the body and movement, posture and problems in muscles and fascia. Hugely appreciative for time and work put into making this video.
just finished my degree in exercise and wellness from ASU. I loved this lecture. Thank you!
I’ve had an hamstring/glute injury for 9 weeks now n have done an ultrasound, mri, n x-ray on it but nothing came up. Is it a problem in my fascia?
Effing brilliant.
THIS is everything I've been piecing together for the past ten years! SOOO cool...ok, ya, I'm geaking out! LOL; I'm a medical massage therapist. I use cups in this manner, have for last 8 years, also have many other toys/tools I integrate with the sessions...
I have this from high velocity impact trauma with my lower spine.. for its for life but I do as much as the therapy I can he mentions .. not many therapist want to do this type of physical therapy
This is very informative and paradigm shifting for treatment, prevention, and Life overall. Thank you for your work.
Some poignant points:
Moving our limbs in an accordion fashion. Not only do we have cells that are programmed to work in concert with a certain & specific pattern, but our muscles and fascia work and fire along a certain line and work together.”
Fascia: hydration + layers + space
“Myofascial decompression”: “movement re-education”
Thanks so much ❤❤❤
ur teaching method is too effective sir ,thanks alot to spread your knowledge....
After covid this lecture is all the more relevant. I have chronic pain at the crossed sections since the first year of lockdowns, even though I thought I was doing a good job of home exercising. I will look for a PT that knows their fascia/suction cup protocols 😂 Reply me if you have recs for Rotterdam/Amsterdam and nearby.
Great lecture and so helpful too! Thank you!
Where do you find doctors like these?! My physical therapist at Kaiser doesn’t think like this at all and has given up on my condition. Where do I find people like this to work on me??
If you are in Southern calif.Jon Burras is the best.
thanks for sharing, very good and informative lection
Fantastic.. thank you for such an informative, clear presentation!
i love it
Great informative video about myofascia
Great!
Fascia is obviosly very important to movement and orthopedic medicine, but it is also the foundation of aesthetic medicine. As a plastic surgeon I understand that beauty is all about the right amount of fat in the right places, moving in the right way. The Superficial Fascia System controls all this! The breast, for instance is shaped by the SFS and youthful attractive breast have a healthy tensegrity.
Thanks for commenting this additional info! Please let me know if, in general, it may be ok to experiment by using very small cups around the muscular areas of my breasts? I'm healthy but that area has lacked tensegrity ever since puberty. Thank you.
27:40 What's the reason we retire at 60-65 yo ? -> Just because our body is now our full-time job !!!
Loved this!
Good information thanks so much
This is so informative about fascia and the more I learn about fascia the more I realize I was misdiagnosed with sciatica issues. I have been applying facsia tools and I have been brusing but feeling better, I do look like I was kicked by a bunch of goats but the way i see it the fascia is being released from the 'knots' and being they were probably wrapped tight around blood vessels, causing the bruising. I wish they'd had released this years ago - there woudl be so many people releaved of pain even.
I truly enjoyed this very informative video, thank you so much.
I have been battling chronic pain and fatigue for years. I have done cupping at my acupuncturist and it always helps. Idk if all this works but I am so glad their studying it finally! Would love to be their guinea pig on this and with all my issues they would love me as a study. Lol
For chronic fatigue you have to also look into the mind and emotions, try something such as Bodytalk.
Take d ribbose and Q10 magnesium
Fabulous lesson.
I did some relief on my legs last night... and i feel Great today. I'm shocked how TIGHT is was. I mean a lot of tension
Enough about how great u r , get to the info
Ungrateful
Teacup exercises are a major game changer.
What is tea cup exercise. Thank you
Thank you very much for this video. In your work with athletes, I would like to know to what degree you focus on an athlete's fascia without taking away their sporting uniqueness ie the "springs" that make them move. Athletes need a certain amount of tension in the body to get them to do their sport. How do you judge how much fascial manipulation is needed and when?
Very informative with restoration of my own body. Thank you for this...!!!
Oh my goodness thank you SO MUCH ❤ I am not only a runner, but a server as well! So I am constantly on my feet. it got soo much worse recently with my current work shoes! I could barely walk around my apt this whole week, I am in PAIN! I have had calloused foot-balls for years and now understand exactly why! People like us just need to take the extra precaution! Change your insoles out frequently and spend the money on your well deserved hard working feet! ❤
This was great - love you guys! Thanks- very informative and clear!
Could you address hammer toes and the chronological progression of their development, and how to reverse this?
They kind of do, but just not specifically to that condition.
Although there are toe flexing muscles in the foot, the larger, stronger toe flexor have their muscle bellies on the posterior leg with long tendons that insert on the toes. Flexor Hallicus Longus (big toe), and Flexor Digitorum Longus (other 4 toes)
Muscles pull by contracting and shortening the cells called sarcomeres. Then relax, and it's up to the antagonist muscles to pull in the other direction.
Sometimes too many cells stay contracted, or the actin and myosin filaments within the cell stay in the shortened position. Think of stretching or "lengthening " the muscle as resetting the sarcomeres to their proper resting place. Like two people holding each other's wrists instead of holding each other's arm at the armpit.
Not "lengthening" the original size, but not shortened anymore.
I paused where he was talking about strengthening the antagonists of the shortened muscle.
When it comes to hammer toe issues, the flexors, which also help plantar flex the ankle, are way stronger, and work way harder than the extensors.
This was so interesting and very informative
Loved this. Thank you.
Awesome explanation! Can't wait to try these techniques.
Thank you - very informative video - greatly appreciated
Any vegas therapy recommendations? Iv had chronic painful left subscapular bursitis for 10 + years and seen so many doctors and had all of this done and more but none if it helps
Great
How would disfunctioning fascia. Under scalp affect you? Great lecture
Massage Therapists use these modalities as well!
i didn't notice it until this time i need to research it to treat :0 it"t very incredible
39:05 oooo cool! Ultrasound imaging! My mom does this technology at work. She has a lot of experience looking mostly at veins, breasts, and fetuses, but I'm not sure how many muscle related exams she does.
What would help me move smoother and more fluent? Like in sports. I’m stiff and rigid. I have a friend that glides and moves diff then everyone.
I love that you call Gua Sha, Gua Sha, and mention TCM as origin of cups (although I believe oldest records exist in Egypt) . Gua Sha and Cupping are primarily out of Eastern Medicine and we actually do the active cupping (you describe as being different from Eastern Practitioner techniques). In addition we also utilize sliding cupping which is in between stationary and active cupping, where the patient is not active but the cups are. Thanks again for at least acknowledging the source of these two bodywork modalities.
Yeah, pretty cool to see these finally getting some of the respect and place they deserve.
Could controlled inflammation like bee stings produce similar pressure by swelling up a certain area ? Thanks
thank you very informative
Do you have any course materials on learning more about this subject ?
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 3 Hypermobility i wish he would have discussed it further
I've got hypomobilty loads of joints but not sure if have eds the fascia causing my pain u can twist sounds like velcro
How should facia dysfunction under scalp be treated. I get whitish color with oil spots when washish scalp. Also alot of dull pain and brain fog.
Impressive lecture!!!👍👍👍👍👍😄😃
I am 55 and beginning to hit the issues Christopher refers to. Stuff just hurts and I feel stiff for no reason. I do a lot of the things they recommend. Stretch when I walk my dog at night, roll with a foam roller and massage balls before going to bed and I really need to get back into yoga. I also feel that moving in and out of positions dynamically rather than static stretching may be important for me - ultimately that is what I want to be able to do so I should just do it.
Getting old does suck from this perspective and it is a lot of work to stay mobile.
I do think he was quite disrespectful of Chinese medicine. He has adapted their cupping therapy. He wouldn't be cupping if he hadn't been aware of it because of Chinese medicine. He has added a twist and can explain why it works a little better but he has appropriated their therapy and should recognize it.
Everyone appropriates from everyone. There is nothing new under the sun. Also, adding an electric current to acupuncture is a western discovery. Also, Chinese and all cultures use palpation before x-ray technology to look into the body, and this has been appropriated from again western societies and used by the world. People move from one culture to another bringing and sharing information. The Egyptians and even early the Mesopotamians used hot coals and magnetism for healing which has also been appropriate by Asian cultures, and others. Moving forward, in the scheme of things it really doesn’t matter who used what first, the most important thing is that everyone gets healed, and sharing information and technology is the right direction.
Yeah making money
Thank you! Soooooo much!
The better approach to pain management is to understand how interconnected our wonderful body is & try to restore the structural parts so pain will go & function restored. Taking painkillers not only mask the symptom & delay prompt treatments.
How is fascia...affected by ankle surgery. And can it recover fully. How long
Thanks a lot of great information.. I don’t know how much of it l am going to absorb it, Due in part to my limited memory , but it is good to know some concept of how fatigue or a lack of chemical processes leads to limited movement.
this stiff is amazing. I came here to get info on the fascia & movement & I got way more information. thank you. this will help me when I'm a sliver sneakers instructor!
Amazing
You need to get ahold of Ashley Black and her Fasciablaster innovation’s. She found the connection from Fascia, and Pain. How to use these amazing tools, to fix it, and restore your fascia, skin, ultimately your body.
Enlightenment !!!! Fantastic Lecture.
Love Fascia! I train my fascia at Fascia Love
Where that at
Hi, how deep this decompression technique can reach ? Also, have you ever tested different shapes and sizes of theses decompression "balls" in order to have bigger effect ? Thanks
GUA SHA deep cross-friction massage technique helps to move fascia and increase flexibility in tissues to break adhesions together with stretching yoga ets. In order to change all misalignments in body need to be persistent and learn to handle pain cause stretching and massage hurts. Unfortunately to become flexible need one year of every day practice of 1.5 hour in addition with massage . A lot of body work of doing nothing over long period of time
I agree about the cross-friction stroke. I did a 9 day all day workshop with a woman who taught Russian Massage. You start out lightly so as to not cause the area to tighten up. She totally fixed a man's frozen injured shoulder by doing this one stroke for fifteen minutes everyday for 9 days. As each day went by she was able to go in deeper (without causing tension or inflammation), until he was totally fine. It taught me alot and I do not believe getting your fascia corrected has to be terribly painful. If it hurts too much you will unconsciously tense up.
This whole talk was really fascinating. I especially enjoyed listening to the information about cupping. As a Muslim I have been researching wet cupping called Hijamah and it’s so amazing that our beloved prophet Muhammad mentioned this as a healing for many ailments 1400 years ago. The fact that western medicine is only just discovering this now leaves me in awe of my beautiful religion of Islam yet again
But Imagine, some Ancient ,Thousands of years ago, lit a jar with flame, into a cup.
I had THAT done on a fotation with 2 other massage techniques. I ioived it.
I have to do another round of this . THIS IS what got me straight and up. I fell again recently and covid happened, so ii couldnt get in person pt..
But i did ehat i learned with 20 years of PT 2/3x year for 6 weekes. Then met a lady that xid what your talking about,, and i vould DANCE again after 17 years with THIS..
I know its a year commitment, so i have rearranged my routine to focus on the first 4 months, then itll start feeling better anfter a period of increased pain. But the result.. is FABULOUS! if i fidnt fall HARD ,... AGAIN, Id be doing 5 times what i reduced to trying to wait till i donthave to get shot first.
Im READY. breathe ..
