Episode Highlights With Savannah
- What fascia is and where it is in the body
- Fascia is the web of connective tissue that covers the entire body and is an incredible electrical substance
- It's made up of collagen fibers and is very hydration dependent
- Fascia has more nerve endings than the skin!
- How fascia gets stuck and how age and hormones affect it
- Ways to ideally support the fascia for its best function
- The key to fascia is speed and why movement is so important - the slower you go, the more you engage the nervous system
- Why we can’t force the fascia to do anything and how to help it “melt” instead
- Your fascia responds to your emotional state!
- Fascia has over 250 million nerve endings, which is over 25% more than the skin.
- Pain is a language that we need to learn to understand and when pain can be a teacher
- Emotions and pain are really only around for about 12 seconds if we are present with them
- Stuck fascia and aging and how this might be the most powerful non-invasive solution we have
- How to release fascia and remobilize areas that have been stuck
- You can mobilize fascia in as little as ten minutes a day!
- Fascia might be the interface between the physical body and the emotional/energetic body
