302. Pain, Posture, and Your Fascia: What’s the REAL Connection?

Fascia. This buzzword has been making the rounds in the fitness industry, but it still seems to be a mystery. What is it? Where is it? How does it impact my health and fitness? If you’re always dealing with pain, tension, body stress, maybe even headaches, learning more about your fascia might be a great place to start. And who better to help you out than the fascia queen! This week on the podcast I talk to Jill Miller, C-IAYT, ERYT, YA-CEP fascia expert, with 30 years of corrective movement expertise that forges links between the worlds of yoga, massage, athletics, and pain management. Jill is the former anatomy columnist for Yoga Journal, has been featured in New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Shape, Women’s Health, O, the Today Show, and is a contributing expert on the Oprah Winfrey Network. She is the author of several bestselling books, including her newly released Body by Breath: The Science and Practice of Physical and Emotional Resilience. Jill and I sat down to talk all about pain, fascia, posture and even breathing. What is fascia and self-myofascial release? What are the benefits? Guided breathing exercises, and when and how to use them. The one simple thought or tip that everyone should implement.
