What does dry fascia sound like?

The crunch that you hear when massaging is caused by tight fascia "and also tendons."

Now fascia doesn't dry up like toast, there's always significant lubrication within the tissues. But "dryness" is helpful to think of as a guide to locating knots and working on those parts of the body. "It helps you hunt for these trigger points" to release them.

You could also think of these spots as "densification" where a trigger point increases in mass causing pressure in that area creating tightness and pain and radiates through the entire muscle.

Massage helps release this mass and allow for the layers to glide smoothly during movement.

Here's what happens to fascia during a massage.

To simplify it; fascia relies on fluid to help your body move smoothly. Massage can affect how that fluid moves by redistributing fluid away from the area you're massaging and then allowing it to flood back in re-hydrating the tissues.

And with so many layers of fascia it loves all types of massage. From relaxation to really deep tissue.

Fascia can feel dry, this is the crunchy sound you hear when massaging over tension and knots

How to find the biggest knot in your butt. The easy way!

Understanding anatomy as a beginner is hard, but we can make it easier by using “bone” landmarks. Practitioners do this all the time.

You won’t be able to feel the piriformis muscle on yourself using your hands, but you will find it with a tennis ball or lacrosse ball.

Highly recommended: find this knot on your partner. It’ll become a go-to move every time you want to release tension in the glutes.

Fascia explained like we're 8 year olds.

This is the most basic concept of how fascia works, it's an incredibly big topic that we can go into more detail - this is just the beginning to help you understand how fascia works with your muscles.

But fascia is much more involved than just your muscles. It's the connective tissue that binds your body together. Every part of your body.

And the best part, fascia loves massage!

VisualiSATION! I like to study anatomy and picture the muscles under the skin when massaging.
This helps me choose angles to distribute pressure into a muscle.

Follow the fibers and the direction in which they flow.

Golgi tendon organs are sensory receptors located in tendons.

They monitor muscle tension and protect muscles from excessive force by triggering relaxation when tension becomes too high.

We can use this system to create relaxation in tense muscles through massage.

We're taught to mostly massage muscle. You'll notice in many of my massages I'm working attachment points. It works really well to reduce tension, and even more so when combined with trigger points and relaxation.

The direction of the muscles can tell a lot about the pain and tension you're feeling. This is the basics of neck tension and massage.

For a complex system the massage is really easy. The hard part is understanding why you're experiencing tension.

How to massage deep.

I have more to show you but I cannot fit it all in within a 90 second reel. For proper guidance you need to sign up to my website and do the massage courses, there's hours of lessons that you can follow along to that will help you massage deep with less effort - on every part of the body.

The secret is to use angles and body weight. Relaxation massage when you're tired and deep tissue on specific knots and tension only, this way you're massaging smarter not harder.

All muscles are important but this one is special and plays an important role for shoulder health. When tight its a common cause of headaches.

Loading up a knot is an elegant way to release knots. It's so smart.

Push into the knot until you feel resistance and then hold. Watch your partner let go. You'll be tempted to push in more as they begin to relax, don't do that. Hold steady. Use the same consistent pressure and allow them to "experience" the release.

Let their brain process the release - there's more to than just the muscle release.
