As a MELT instructor for almost 5 years, the subject of ‘fascia’
(sometimes also referred to as connective tissue) has been of great interest to
me. I have witnessed firsthand the effects the MELT techniques have on my
students, whether they are in my classes as one of many or get instructions
from me one-on-one. Yes, I had very few people over those years that I could
not reach with MELT but I would put this number no higher that 1 out of 100.
I also like to educate my participants about the
properties of fascia, what it is, what it does and why it is so important to
keep it healthy. I have come up with analogies ranging from body stocking to
orange to panty hose, and I am still searching.
I recently got some unexpected help. Europe, and Germany
in particular, is way ahead of the curve in research of fascia, and I was made
aware of a broadcast from a German television station on that very subject. Not
only does this video (with English subtitles) explain in very simple ways what
fascia is, it also shows the possibilities that are opening up for the
treatment of many chronic pain conditions.
If you have 30 minutes, please do yourself the favor to
watch it. And then just get on your roller or get out those little balls and just
make your fascia happy. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikx-0s8y480.
