The Benefits of Fascia and How It Plays a Critical Role in Our Movement and Overall Health with Julia Blackwell

Balance Your Life

#224: This week on the podcast I am joined by Julia Blackwell. Julia is a fascia release practitioner, educator, and creator of The Fascia Remedy. Julia was born with severe nerve damage to her right shoulder and grew up going through the broken Western medicine system. After 23 years of being told her condition would never improve and feeling no lasting relief from any treatments, she was introduced to a unique type of fascia release bodywork. In just 3 months of this fascia specific work, she saw more improvement in the feel and function of her arm than she had in 16 years of traditional treatments. This experience catapulted Julia into learning everything she could about fascia, the critical roles it plays in our movement and overall health, and how to restore it. After learning multiple modalities and working with clients over a decade, she’s formulated her own approach for bodywork & foam rolling work called The Fascia Remedy.

On this episode we walk about what unhealthy vs. healthy fascia feels like, the benefits of releasing fascia, and how to release fascia at home. We also discuss how unhealthy and tight fascia relate to past trauma, how other dis-eases and issues in our bodies might be related to our fascia, reducing pain in our bodies, and so much more!
