Jill Miller: Increase Flexibility & Relieve Pain with Breathwork & Myofascial Release

adapted to our asymmetries and that's for the best but there's probably better and better ways and I think this is one of the places that I love talking to Kelly about is you know looking for being able to centrate joints so that they have more options of movement because if you have rotated off of axis so considerably that your range of motion in as we account for joint by joint

then we can get into a lot of trouble. And that's where doing, you know, some really good fascial work, self-myofascial release in very specific joints and very specific ways can allow for a restoration of elasticity and muscle function in tissues that have been compromised by position.

So this is something I, I mean, I love working with people to, you know, tune up these little areas that have become messed up by, you know, scar tissue or positioning or injury? Because you see this remodeling happening over time. The remodeling is the collagen network adapting to your new normal.

My friend Katie Bowman, she wrote a book called Diastasis Recti, and she's one of my favorite movers and thinkers in the movement movement space. And her book, one of the things that she talks about is that diastasis recti is a whole body issue. It's never just that you have this overstretch syndrome in the abdomen, but there are probably things that...

led up to your body harboring more anterior pressures. Although if you are carrying triplets and twins or if you have over-tensioned your abdomen through over-training, this can also be problematic when the time comes for the abdomen to stretch. So let me backtrack a little bit. Diasysis recti is a breach of the connective tissue link between the right and left halves of the anterior abdomen.

So we have these deep fascial layers that lock themselves around the rectus abdominis, the obliques, the transversus abdominis. And they all zip into a common ligament called the linea alba, which connects from the bottom of your sternum all the way to your pubic symphysis. And this is an incredibly—a lot of integrity in this system. And this is how you get your core force production.

We've got the right half and the left half of our abdomen working well together to stabilize our spine, our pelvis, and do all the things, help us to breathe.

Five and five. I mean, I've seen dissection where you've literally got one rectus abdominis from soup to nuts on one half. And then the other one, you had one divided by a small tendonous inscription. I've seen so many anomalies in the rectus. So you can't get a six-pack, boys. It's because you've got a one-and-a-half pack by birth, okay?

And that is granted by the amount of elastin and relaxin that's produced from your growing fetus and all of the hormonal changes that happen within you. that change the elasticity of the tissue, you must enlarge in order for the fetus to grow. And so the accommodation we have is we have these elastic changes in our fascial tissues.
