Thanks for sharing!! When we work on the rib cage, a lot of discoveries can be made 😉😉

Hooray! That’s the best feeling ever :) great job!

I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you 😊

Glad it helped! Yay!!

Thank you! I appreciate your message!

I have so much to say! I believe with a true leg length discrepancy and living life in our bodies, patterns play out, and Fascia supports the needs of our body in these patterns. However, this can cause imbalances that eventually leads to pain. When the ribs bulge out when on your back, a lot of times it’s a function of your postal positioning. Not necessarily that you can change it while on the floor and it to stay there, but rather working the facial system to allow ribs to rest comfortably in the body. Sorry, this is a little long-winded, let me know if you’d ever want to do a virtual session to target certain needs in your body!

Ha! Yes, some of my older content was rough 😂

@@DailyFascia haha! better rough, than non existent!! helpful#! 😇🥰

Same to you!

100%! And safer too :)

I love that! I am hearing such great feedback that people are intuitively adding movements, angles, and shifts during the work. Your body will tell you it needs more focus in certain areas. Keep up the great work!

I think I will just reshoot this video as the Contant is great, but the quality is not! This was earlier in the game where I had lots to learn 😉

So happy to hear that! Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your inquiry! When doing this work, it can be helpful to be specific in a particular area of the body but often times that area that feels stuck, is caused by issues somewhere else. I would suggest doing fascia work for the shoulders and chest, and then starting to reach in a little bit deeper into your hot spot. They are videos in my KZfaq that could be beneficial, but it might take a little exploring! I don’t have a specific one filmed right out of the gate, but I can keep that in mind for future recording!

Hello and thank you! This work can help change older tight fascia abs scar tissue. Try the fascia activation that seemed to really help your body everyday for a week or two. I think trying heat would also be helpful, I’ve never done that but will try!

Thank you for your message! I would avoid transitional stretching and focus on the fascia activations. It is a good place rehab dense fascial where traditional stretching may take you too far and have a counter effect. I actually don’t use the foam roller al that often but if you do, go gentle. Heat is good if it feels good!

@@DailyFascia thanks the last few days using the lacrosse ball has actually helped immensely. I thought it would be too much pressure but I found a technique to get in those ribs. Then I’m loose and do some stretching while the ribs are moving well. I tighten up an hour later but I’m sure I just have to keep at it to maintain the loose ribs

Keep up the good work! It is definitely a journey, with discoveries along the way!

Thank you so much for your message! Great question. It is likely that you are going to far, try, keeping your range of motion much shorter, and your muscle contraction very light. You can also try changing your pathway ever so slightly to see if you could avoid that pinching sensation. I hope that helps!

Potentially. If you give it a go, contract your muscles at at level 2 out of 10 and make the movement really small. Go slow so your nervous system has time to communicate I’m with your brain to let you know if it is safe.

The work can be confusing. When I say resist, I mean to contract the muscles in a particular direction. In this case, the elbow is pushing down (or back) to contract the muscles. The main focus is to shorten the area of focus, contracted by resistance against a force, keep contracting it as you move in the opposite direction. Opposite of stretching the old way!

@@DailyFasciaOk I think I got it now thanks. Now to practice it.

Any time Judy!!

Yesssss!

Great question! Something to consider is a ribcage Rotation to the right. I have a right rib cage rotation in my right lower ribs, present more internal in my body and stuck. There are a few tricks to do but it’s quite a lot to talk about here. Let me know if you would like to do a virtual session sometime! Those are great to die deeper into your personal needs for your body.

Oh gosh! Please let me know how it goes for you! Feel better 😘

Great question! If you are looking for imaging of fascia there is a video "Strolling Under the Skin" in which you can see live fascia versus cadaver. In terms of the actual MRI, here is what I found: 1.) MRI is the best imaging technique to detect localized fascial involvement and assess its extent 2.) MRI may be limited in the characterization of localized fascial disorders I would love to hear from others on this!

It is not a natural thing for sure! Try to engage the upper abdominal muscles and also the pecs. Contracting muscle in the area of the rib cage can get to the fascia in between the ribs as well. I hope this helps! Erin

There are certainly many crossover elements, and both approaches! I LOVE rib cage and Posture work!

😂

I was mirroring for watchers!
