Fascia Gets No Respect
 

It took me a long time to learn about fascia and the effect it has on the entire body. Jomar has been talking about this for a long time now, but I'm finally starting to get it. Thanks Jomar.:) I think it's the one thing that seems to be kind of dismissed, or not addressed, by most people, doctors and therapists included.

I see more, and more, information about Thoracic Outlet Syndrome on the internet but very few people ever talk about fascia, and I think it plays a very big part in chronic pain. Loosening it up, with things like joint mobility exercises, self-myofascial release, and vacuum cupping has helped me greatly. It is a very slow process, though, and you have to be very consistent and patient. Reversing chronic pain is not easy or fast.

My chiro said a lot of my pain is from that too. She showed me some stretches, what else can we do for the arms?

Where is your pain in the arms?

The forearm muscles and also my tendons feel like they are too short, or that I have a tight sleeve that covers my forearm...chiro says that is all fascia pain.

Hey Nellyzen -- I sent you a PM about this.
