Stress isn’t mental, it’s physical memory. Your fascia remembers every heartbreak, trauma, and stored emotion. Here’s how to finally let it go:

Through sustained pressure and gentle stretching, adhesions can be broken up and proper tissue hydration restored. Here are 4 ways to release your fascia:

Method I: Breathwork When you breathe deeply, you’re not just taking in oxygen. You’re creating wave-like movements through your entire fascial system, helping to restore its natural elasticity. Try this guided sequence to experience instant relief:

Method II – Targeted Release Your fascia runs in spirals. The most effective ways to release it involve spiraling movements in the opposite direction, so that the fascia can unwind and “reset” itself:

Try these movements to feel instant release: – Diagonal neck spirals (eyes lead movement) – Slow Cossack squats w/ deep breath – Hanging decompression

Method III: Foam Rolling Focus on slow, deliberate movements rather than aggressive pressure. The goal is to melt tension, not force it away:

Method IV – Hydration Fascial tissue is largely composed of water, and dehydration makes it sticky and prone to adhesions. Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces daily. 170lbs = 85oz

Method V: Heat Heat can increase blood flow to tissues and make them more receptive to stretching and release work. Incorporate: – Hot Showers + Baths – Sauna – Heating pads

As your fascia releases, you may experience: – Increased energy – Better posture – Improved flexibility – Enhanced emotional regulation – Greater sense of embodiment

By addressing fascial restrictions, you: – Relieve physical discomfort – Open up the body – Shift into “Rest and digest” mode – Release stored trauma – Enhance immune function – Prevent chronic disease Simply too much bang for your buck to ignore.

BACKSTORY: I grew up in Colorado. I was an intensely hyperactive kid, and a horrible student. Athletics were my escape. I had A LOT of energy and found myself drawn to endurance sports When I was 14 I made the goal to be Olympic Gold Medalist in XC-Skiing.
