I don't even know if he's still there, but he basically did all of this gross anatomy for free on the Internet. And he describes—one of the first people to really describe fascia as this sort of incredible, you know, connective tissue network that envelops, wraps, you know, stores energy, communicates, is tensionality—

In full disclosure, I went to school in Boulder, and I may have dated a girl who went to rolfing school and was a rolfer. And Ida Rolf was one of the first people to really talk about how can we mobilize fascia with touch. So I was introduced to fascia in the 90s when I had rolfing done on me.

So when I'm trying to help someone think about paying a restored position, and this is overly gross, but it'll create a framework for people, we ask, is this an environmental problem? Are you poorly hydrated? Because your tissues need to be hydrated to slide. Are you inflamed? That's why we talk about nutrition and we talk about sleep, because we have this environmental piece.

Then I often will say, hey, do we have just a movement problem? Do you just have crappy technique? Like, let's fix the technique first. Let's get you moving to the highest expression of the movement first. Hey, turn your foot straighter. Let's recenterate that joint. Can we have a better organization?

Then we start to say, because sometimes it's just a movement problem, just you needed some cueing. We say, is this a joint capsule problem? Because capsular stiffness, the joint capsule is a bag of connective tissue that surrounds all your joints, and it can account for huge chunks of your range of motion limitation. So a lot of what we do is we try to mobilize the joint tissue.

And again, that's my own bias, the way I was trained as an Australian trained manual therapist, this Maitland School. Then we say, well, is this just a good old-fashioned muscle restriction? And we call it muscle dynamics because that includes high tone, stress, fear, but trigger points are well-documented phenomenon. Muscles get stiff, they become fibrotic, right?

You could have high tone trying to protect you, all those reasons, but that still could limit your range of motion. And lastly, we say sliding surfaces. So instead of kind of talking about all the different layers of dermis and skin and fascia, we say, do the things that slide, are they sliding? So if you grab your skin on your forehead, it should slide in all the directions.
