Episode 216: Fix Your Fascia (NOT Foam Rolling)

Julia Blackwell 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 2010. 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 for 12 years, she formulated her own approach for bodywork & foam rolling work called The Fascia Remedy. Using this methodology, she's been able to solve her own bouts of low back, knee, and neck pain in a matter of days, as well as help others quickly alleviate pain, restore movement, and perform at their best.

Julia has captivated a community of thousands with her unique bodywork, her fresh take on foam rolling, and her approach to discovering the root source of their pain. Her combination of fascia release, postural alignment, and mindset magic has earned her the nickname "The Pain Relief Wizard" from her community of both professional athletes and everyday movers.

 A Denver local, spends her free time adventuring with her dogs, rock climbing, and hiking Colorado's tallest peaks.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:

- How most pain issues stem from fascial problems and often where the pain is felt is not the source of the problem.

- Why imbalance in posture can indicate fascial tension and misalignment in the body.

- How proper alignment and posture are important in identifying fascial tension and pain.

- Why it's important to keep your fascia moving and hydrated.

- How improving the health of your fascia can positively impact your nerves, blood vessels, organs, lymphatic system, detoxification, immune system, and blood flow.
