Fascial Unwinding - with Thomas Attlee

[@jabah126]

I've been doing fascial unwinding on myself for years now. Ive had no training, am not an expert but have had many CS sessions over the years. It's just about getting yourself into a nice calm space, uninterrupted, and the body naturally begins the unwinding process, often with just a gentle stretch. You can also raise your bottom off the surface a few times, I find this also helps with unwinding. It's fascinating and anyone can try this. Its the most beautiful calming of experiences. Good Luck.

[@MicchiGi]

I know exactly what you mean!!! Wow, finally someone with the same experience! Thank you for sharing, you‘re right, it‘s absolut fascinating, i love this feeling of unwinding my whole body. I wish everyone the same experience, it‘s just great.

[@amplifiedhealthnow7100]

Wow, intetesting. I guess it cannot hurt to try to do it myself. What does it feel like when it starts happening?

[@jabah126]

Its a strange but calm experience. You're suddenly aware different parts of your body are moving involuntarily. I think you have to experience it. ​@@amplifiedhealthnow7100

[@ShaneIsAlways]

I totally agree and everyone’s body/fascia is in a unique state, which seems to beg for individualized approach. Moreover, this unwinding process often triggers involuntary movement (kriyas), which seem to “know” what the body needs during any given session. This is only my experience of course 🙏

[@Matli-MC]

I did this unwindings without knowing what I am doing, I just felt the urge to dance/play on the floor. Now I also understand theese amazing healing processes. Thank you & blessings

Just like to add the following comment, at 74 years old I am still cycling 50 miles weekly, rowing machine, ping pong, ballroom dance, and lately squash was added to the exercise regiment., however its the latest activity of squash where I injured the leg muscle, adductors to be exact, quite painful indeed where I stopped playing for 4 months. Ive exhausted every physical therapy recommendation to cure the injury but to no veil. Hence I will try to take up your method of unwinding the fascia.

[@lynne3989]

Let us know how it goes!!

[@TheMardi45]

I had never heard of this, and came across this and another video. I have had a stiffening in my left thigh where I could not turn my leg out (a bit like in ballet) and after sitting and getting up had trouble walking properly. I thought if I'm like this at 78 what will it be like when I'm 88. After watching your video (having always loved dancing) I lay on my bed and let my leg have the freedom to go and do what ever it wanted. It was just a fun let's have a go experiment. To my amazement the next day my leg had nearly completely freed up. Still a tiny way to go, except I could rise from sitting and walk not feeling like an old lady. I was astounded really. I thought I'd share this, and promise that I am not kidding you or exaggerating. To be fair, I do a lot of walking up and down steps. We live on a steep property. But thank you. I was meant to find you. And it's wonderful. And it has not worn off.💗🙏

@TheMardi45, You may also find benefits from Feldenkreis movements. Also found on YT.

[@AH-cy4md]

When I’m unwinding myself, the movements are spontaneous, it frequently feels like someone is lifting my arm, and holding it in a stillpoint isn’t tiring despite gravity. It’s really very pleasurable; I am unwinding 58 years of holding in anger from abuse and trying to not be seen or take up space, so, there’s tremendous tension! I started with a myofascial release therapist and now I’m unwinding myself at least an hour a day. I’ve had some pretty powerful releases.

[@sunsetstormx]

That is so powerful and beautiful!!!!

15:53 The extracellular matrix holds the ground substance fluid, rather than CSF. The primary communication component within the ground substance of the fascial network is melanin-- melanin is a superconductor. Conducting biophotons of information from the nucleus of one cell, through the intracellular matrix to the organelles, transcending the cell membrane to the extracellular network: Like a fiber optic system. Biophotons of information are being transported at the associated frequency of the nucleus, giving signal to each neighboring cell at the speed of light in the form of resonance. Proving much faster than the electrical and chemical system, the nerve is highly excitabile. At its core, it it is the photons of information within that excitation that communicates with the rest of the body

[@username604error5]

Is there any relationship to 4th phase of water ?

[@ManusMagus]

@@username604error5 absolutely, if it weren't for the resonance of our consciousness running through the crystal of our ecm, it would be a solid. But that energy of Life keeps it within that fourth phase of adaptability

[@ShaneIsAlways]

I only have my direct experience with this subject, but this description is brilliant I must say 🙏

[@realDys.]

everything you just said besides matrix being at fluid state, is basically not backed up by anything especially the claim about biophotons and their communication with other organism and also melanin being superconductor.

[@realDys.]

moreover, there is absolutely zero empirical evidence of consciousness having an effect on ECM or 4th stage of water. Anything you said is beyond highly speculative and doesn't make sense

[@teresa6635]

Thank you for offering all this information. Great videos of the fascia.

[@patriciozabala]

Thank u for sharing!! Here a fanatic of fascial treatment 💚 greetings from Argentina

[@habanero6332]

This is very interesting. I have been very interested in somatic massage and various modes of healing such as this. It is incredibly healing.

[@EvangeliseGood]

Wonderful teacher, thank you.

[@kelvinstirbys6714]

Loved the video of the living fascia. Amazing!

[@JerzeyBird]

Thank you!

John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach includes MF unwinding. There are 2 courses for unwinding. This is one of the corners of his triad approach: Structural MFR, MF rebounding, and MF unwinding. Unwinding is HUGE part of my clients recovery! Thank you for this video, it all rang true to what John Barnes teaches us in his seminars and at his treatment centers. Thank you!

[@AnneAlready]

JFB had extraordinary insight and sensitivity developing that triad approach.

[@Santa5387]

Thank you! ❤

[@cycling.guitarist]

Most fascinating lecture I’ve attended, thank you very much!

[@helengray21]

Appears to be quite similar to Shiatsu which achieves the same holistic response through passive stretching and acupressure. I would venture to suggest that maybe the meridians run through the fascia - some are now coming to this conclusion.

[@tommcelroy2276]

I have a question, yet to find an explanation yet. I had trauma surgery to my stomach. Big scar. If one of the major fascia lines that go up the middle where cut into, does the body’s healing process fill in the blanks where there was disruption?

[@tommcelroy2276]

Thank you for that detailed explanation. My assumption based on feeling and self education, is the superficial fascia lines are connected to deeper fascia so it doesn’t really matter. I feel that any missing section is easily bridged by the deeper layers. The body does have amazing ability to heal.

[@ManusMagus]

16:44 fascia is beginning to be recognized as its own system, and what makes it unique is it is the system in which all the other systems reside en vivo. It could be imagined as the tube that carries the lymph, or rather the substance that gives the structure to creates the space for the lymph

[@ShaneIsAlways]

This is precisely how it feels to me and thank you again for this wonderful information 🙏

[@RolferShannon]

Fun fact! Fascia was discovered and talked about in a book in the 1930s called plastic anatomy. This is also work by Mabel Todd Ellsworth the thinking body that was also popular in the early 1900s. Ideology is also in this group of fossil unwinding. Just say that John Barnes was also part of these people that brought fascia work to the United States is somewhat true. Pioneers like Ida Rolf and Joseph Pilates also did their fair share and be recognized.❤

[@kylebrady3651]

I am sure I have a fascia knot or “ energy cyst “ that is basically affecting my whole body from a bad leg injury and surgeries... really brutal hopefully I can learn something from this.

[@Brancaalice]

Do plants and vegetal have fascial?

[@happytraveller8953]

A bit late to this party, so apologies. How as a therapist, would one provide this profound type of manual intervention with someone who is non-verbal or neuro-atypical (i.e., cerebral palsy or with autism) who cannot verbally describe their response? Yes, I understand you'd need to follow breathing, facial gestures, body tensing, etc., as you would for verbal clients, but given that this input can sometimes not show up for several hours or days, how do you know if the patient is having a latent response and you won't be there to help them through it? Thanks.

[@somaticscholar8441]

I have never seen unwinding facilitated without contact 26:20 Not sure what to think about that, but isnt the therapist there to remove gravity?

[@happytraveller8953]

So if the body 'just goes where it needs to', then why doesn't it just do that independently of a practitioner? If all the practitioner is doing is 'holding' the body part until the fascia engages, can't the body do that on its own? And if one can't 'feel' the fascia or 'feel' the craniosacral rhythm even though you try your hardest to lighten up your touch, how do you make any difference with the patient? I've taken an intro to CST many moons ago and have heard that you 'fake it until you make it' or that it will one day magically 'click' and you'll 'get it'. That seems a bit disingenuous to me and I'd really like to include CST into my pediatric physical therapy practice.

[@minolta7i]

I will admit that I have only watched parts of this video, but...seeing all the comments and NOT SEEING one mention of Ida Rolf in those comments or any reference to her in your video leaves me in shock! If anyone was a "fascial expert" it was her!

[@somaticscholar8441]

Did Ida Rolf even do unwinding? It was actually named so by osteopath Viola Frymann, though I seldom see her get credit.

[@AnneAlready]

@minolta7i This video is about *unwinding* so there's no need for you to shout and get yourself wound up. ;)

[@racquelmilan7765]

Fascia-nating 😮 this is what I need done to my body. Does anyone need a test subject? 🙏🏽😇😊

[@gretanavarauskaite2904]

❤

[@Brancaalice]

I give name, wrapping system, They forget to categorize it.

[@chinupduck4849]

Like the homeopathy of bodywork.

[@earthling1082]

Great discourse. Except this emphasis on the belief the soul lives in fascia is unnecessary. When the method is clinically effective it speaks for itself. And so does not require a belief system to be delivered along with it. Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant, people need to given space to have their own experience without any of that. Thank you

[@katherinejoseph7133]

Take what works and leave the rest; if you don’t appreciate the perspective on ‘soul’, that’s absolutely fine. But the information and perspective IS appreciated by others. Really no reason to take some kind of ‘offense’, is there?

[@chinupduck4849]

I see who's here. Not today....not to-day.

[@audreymcclure299]

Was a great video until the end with the cheetah and lions..very disturbing as it appears they were drugged ..common in "pay to play" zoos and pseudo sanctuaries
