We lubricate fascia when we exercise. If we don't move the fascia dries out creating adhesions . Movement is medicine and motion is lotion folks. Keep moving

What about getting enough fluids? If a person is always borderline dehydrated, would that not speed up fascia drying?

[@newhusk]

​@@chickadeeacres3864ofc it will

I learned this in 2004 in massage school. There's a technique call MIT Myofascial Induction Technique. ALSO where all of our traumas/emotions are stored! MiT life changing- when working on the body- all the trapped trauma/emotions WILL arise to be dealt with. Mind/Body connection IS real.

I have noticed that to combat overall stiffness and aches, magnesium is the most important supplement. I'd dare anyone suffering from stiffness, muscle/fascia aches and joint pains to double their magnesium intake for a while.

[@cattleNhay]

First stop all sugar and see how much goes away

[@Thekibo2]

The maximum dietary allowance for most adults is around 400 mg ina man or less. Anything above this will strip Calcium from the bone and lead to osteoperosis

[@SunshineTheLover]

@@Thekibo2and most adults rarely get close to their dietary needs for anything thats not sugar, fats, and salt

[@MClass2011]

​@@cattleNhayNo, no and no. Your cells need sugar, and if you stop consuming sugar, your body will break down tissue to make sugar.

[@philipcurra3687]

@@Thekibo2 yup. if I supplement any magnesium, then I get very sick. you need enough, for sure, but you do want to stay away from too much.

[@ArabellaTransylvania]

I did a year's course in massage - 30 years ago - good course but NO mention of fascia at all. Focus on the myo- and energy, but not one word even in anatomy classes, about fascia. Your video has filled in that huge hole, and has been a great motivator for me to get moving. I'm rising 66 and clunky, seizing up physically and mentally. Thank you!

Glycine, which is what makes up most of fascia, and proline, which makes up a smaller amount, are excellent amino acids to add as dietary supplements! Along with Vitamin C, Zinc, and copper :)

Most efficient is the trampoline, but any type of skipping is equivalent if not more beneficial, like rope skipping or any vertical jumping exercises.

[@lindanedilsky8677]

Fascia connects all celks of the human body indide and out. It should be very mobile and fluid, unlike plastic wrap. Fascial restrictions occur from the time you are conceived..inside the womb.. gentle compression must be applied before tissue is elingagted. Restrictions are created by dry fascia. Like dry chewing gum cannot be stretched without breaking. Gum need fluid introduced to give the gum the ability to move and br atretched

Hey Lucas, I notice you left out any mention of foam rolling, which is probably the most common connection that people have with fascia. Can you share your thoughts on foam rolling?

Yes, same also please! I recently used a home made 13 Inch yoga/Pilates wheel on my itb and the release in my lower back was like nothing else. I have had tightness in one side at the very top of the glute/ bottom of thoracolumbar facia for several years.

[@adrianneporta8032]

Love the info. However, as an LMT, I have to disagree that fascia can not be affected externally. There's been published studies saying differently, please do your research before making false statements.

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Hello Adrianne - you could certainly work on the IT band or plantar fascia, for example, I was referring to hamstrings specifically and skeletal muscle fascia. How would you work on it separately? You mentioned published studies, send them along... happy to add to the video.

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Typically, the recommendation for protein intake is about 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day for most people.

Interesting. Will this be counted when you measure your lean body mass?

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Fascia isn't typically included in lean body mass measurements as it's a distinct connective tissue. Lean body mass typically refers to muscles, bones, organs, and other tissues.
