I had 6 surgeries as a toddler on my Achilles heel and foot. Due to being in casts during so many developing years my non-surgery calf is about 3 times the size of my other calf because it's been mostly supporting my whole body my whole life. About 5 years ago the one side of my body completely froze up. Couldn't shoulder check driving, could barely get dressed or even reach to grab a pan out of the cupboard. The worst point was blueberry sized knot in my neck opposite side of the body from all the calf incisions. My brainstem felt like it was being strangled and all kinds of side effects like dizziness, nausea, vision changes, anxiety, lethargy, difficulty thinking straight as a result of these adhesions compressing neck nerves connected to the brain and nervous system etc. I know this for sure as due to the imbalance of it mostly being on one side and symptoms would increase as pressure on the one side increased and got better when pressure decreased on the one side.
The worst part is for the most part you look pretty okay on the outside and no one seems to understand what's wrong with you. Doctors send you for all kinds of tests that have nothing to do with connective tissue so after so many years, money and time I've never received a proper diagnosis or treatment.
It's been a very slow journey of freeing myself from these adhesions the past five years and it is so refreshing to see people explaining this as so few, including doctors understand. I know what your saying is true because I've literally heard THOUSANDS of dried strands of fascia "snap and crackle" with a feeling of relief afterwards (like you've just been a un-strangled just a little bit)
Thank you for sharing this information as so many people are suffering and have no idea why or what to do.
If you ever want to collaborate and use me as an example to help others understand feel free to reach out. :)
Request: when you mention another video, could you please add a link to that video so we can easily find it? Thank you please??

I just recently began the sampler program. I have high hopes. This will sound a little weird (I’m not a stalker) 😉 but, to feel so connected to two people I don’t know is a strangely positive feeling. I believe you both. Thank you. I’m almost 65 and broke both my heels in June of 2021. Right one had a clean break, left one has a plate and 8 screws. Even though I’m in my 60’s, prior to this accident, I was pretty strong, very agile and flexible. Even with lifelong mild scoliosis. About this discussion, I didn’t quite understand about scar tissue (which I’m loaded with) vs fascia adhesions. Will block therapy, in time, eventually help break down the deep scar tissue in my feet? I’m so missing my agility. It’s completely altered the way I approach my life. Both physically and mentally. I keep fighting back, but there are days I allow it to take my vibration so low. I have new found hope listening to your pod casts and learning the block positions. I also build myself up doing Dr Joe D’s work. That’s what’s kept me going. I believe this will be an amazing 1-2 punch! I am healthy, whole and strong!!! Thanks for responding. Karen

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! I Have Questions. In early 2016 I woke up and was in complete, 100% pain throughout my entire body. It felt like I'd been a pro football player for 20 years, quit, didn't take painkillers, and felt every last tissue, every muscle, ligament, tendon, everything was in extreme pain. I could sit still comfortably, but if I moved anything, there was so much pain I almost cried, just from moving. Came seemingly out of nowhere.
About five months later I watched videos and decided to cut grains out of my life, and within several months I was about 70% better, but still had some pain. By the summer of 2017 I discovered going sugar-free, and when I eliminated ALL sugars from my life, that's when the pain went away in TWO DAYS, never to return. I turned 60 in 2017. I've followed several internet doctors and their suggestions for doing keto. It's been the best thing ever.
When I started going no-grain, my legs were stiff and hard; once I eliminated the sugar too, I noticed that I could sit in the lotus position quite easily once again.
Listening to your explanation of flow and breath (and I've been doing the rolled towel exercises and have done the drumstick-between-the-toes intermittently since December), I'm now wondering what actually went on in my body when I eliminated grains. One thing I did *not* do -- I was way too exhausted to -- was much of any kind of exercise, but the weight fell off anyway, to a point. I've been on a plateau since early 2018. And I have menopausal belly fat that won't budge no matter what I do; last September we discovered I have been hypothyroid for a very long time, and now with supplements and red light I'm correcting that; the next area we're correcting is hormone replacement therapy. I had zero estrogen as of December.
Backing up a bit, though, I noticed that after about a year into keto, so about 2018, collagen in my left cheek right under my cheekbone started disappearing, and I developed a deep wrinkled valley in my left cheek. My right cheek looks normal. I now have wrinkles all over my face; I never used to have wrinkles when I was at my unhealthiest and eating mostly just grains and sugars. So there's something going on when a person starts the keto diet and feels SO much better and more pain-free. What's going on with the collagen? The flow? My leg muscles are flexible and much softer, and that's great. I'm not so thrilled with the loss of fat in my face, though.
Anyway, I would request that you talk about people on keto -- there are LOTS of us keto-followers out here -- and what happens to the collagen when we used to be so inflamed pre-keto and now we're not inflamed, as we're living the keto lifestyle (and I do intermittent fasting too)? No doubt as we keep eating vegetables and meats and no carbs to speak of, there are drastic changes happening within our body, positive changes -- for me, anyway, that's true -- so how can we keto people support our keto lifestyle with fascia release and breathing?
And, will I ever get my cheek back and release that belly fat??!!!!
Really appreciate your information and your work.
Oh...should also mention that I've had a desk job since 2019...I get way too little exercise during the day, and I know this...recently I've started carrying around a pedometer in my pocket, tracking my steps...doing the fascia release at night REALLY helps my low back injury from 2018...doing keto has helped me feel pain-free and more and more able to have strength and stamina so that I *can* hold a full-time job, so that I *do* feel ambitious enough to exercise after work. I have two offices, and one has a desk that I can adjust whenever I choose so that it's a standing desk. I need to stand on a towel more often at that office space.
Try the carnivore diet for collagen. Also drink bone broth.
What people do not know about adhesion's VS Scar tissue and even the wholeness of what we call Fascia is immense! Ignorance of the body systems is so sad. It is time people wake up to this amazing body we live in, to know ourselves, be the best person and to have the best life we can! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
This was excellent, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Deanna and Quinn. Once again, you have done a wonderful job explaining ideas so that the average person can understand. Great Job! Should someone with a fracture take a collagen supplement, assuming they are also using heat and gentle massage for a healing?
Helpful!!! Thank you!! 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Great talk. Love these
More to come!
When I put in my zip code for Minnesota, I got a practitioner in France.
Thanks for letting us know. We will look into this.
Do you have to have a juicer to do the cleanse?
Thank you! Thanks to you, I better understand the formation of adhesions in the fascia. NowI would love to know your recommendations for treating large adhesions such as one in my hip that formed after replacement surgery that now prevents me from regular walking. Walking more than 20 minutes, or simply trying to stretch the area, causes a great deal of pain. Gentle increases have not helped. What can we do with such adhesions?
Hi there! The way to address this is to work not only the issue/pain site, but also our foundation, starting with the feet. If we focus on the hip area only we won't address the cause site that are keeping your hips bound. We have daily guided programs that take you on a systematic approach to help deal with both pain sites and cause sites. We also have Assessments where a Fascia Alignment Coach will work with you one on one for a more tailored program for you.
What's your opinion on taking collagen powder? Is your opinion different for the elderly?
Red River and the Assiniboine River.
Visual tools would be helpful. I get lost listening to all the excessive words.
Hi there, we have a ton of demonstration videos on our channel. This video is simply our podcast, so it's a conversation with less demonstration.
I found you guys in my TH-cam feed a couple of months ago. I started doing the diaphragmatic breathing. Then I was working on other body parts that were tight. I am now in my 60s but as a child, I had JRA in my left knee and was bedridden for a year. I did spend some time doing block therapy on that left knee and now for the last five weeks I can hardly walk. I don’t know if I damaged Fashia or if it’s just coincident. Any thoughts? I’m heading off to a physical therapist tomorrow and perhaps for an MRI. It’s quite painfuland I’m not sure how to do. Any kind of balanced Fashia release with Block therapy. Are there any block therapists in both central Texas?
I did start doing diaphragmatic breathing 8 months ago but not with the towel until I found you.
Underscores the need for a professional to help. The therapies she advises seem dangerous to me without the guidance of a professional onsite
Hi there! I don't think you have damaged your fascia. You are realigning. This may have brought on some inflammation to the area which results in the pain you are feeling. Apply heat so as to promote your body's natural response to healing. Try not to ice as that will stop the first phase of healing. Continue the diaphragmatic breathing.
If you could find a flat shoe like a Converse but had a wide toe, that would be perfect. Oh wait, they make those! Lol
As per you, is keloid scar tissue ?
Thank you both, your descriptions are so helpful. I am so grateful for your open sharing and caring..
Glad you like them!
The medical world is totally ignorant about adhesions. For PID pelvic inflammatory disease they offer laparoscopic surgery. Which will cause more adhesions. I hope block therapy becomes popular all over the world so people have options for pain and true health.
When l block on my front l get a heat sensation in my groin. What would that be about? Thanks
Hi there! This is flow being restored. Flow of blood, nerves, energy etc.
Where can i find a myofascial expert in Florida?

I've been doing the sampler program now for about a couple of months. I have noticed some differences in my posture. Thank you. At some point I'll get the starter kit. I live on Vancouver Island and was wondering if there are any block therapy practicioners around here. Merci.
