Nothing that you're doing to stretch it out, to make it feel better is working at all. It took me years to understand that you really have to get to the root of the issue of these kind of things. And then I tried fascia release therapy. Game changer how I found it was. I took a trip to Costa Rica and I was doing a retreat and I gave it a try.

Right? All good, all good, we're gonna cover that. That is why Julia is here on, HIListically Speaking, not only to share more about what fascia is, but what you can do to relieve that pain, to be more mobile, to increase your performance.

So let's talk about fascia Before we go any further. Let's define what fascia is, so there's a clear understanding of it. 02:10 - Julia Blackwell (Guest) Oh, absolutely. Also, just from my Cincinnati roots, I'm gonna call it fascia because all of my hard A's, it's just hard to have it to think. 02:20 - Hilary Russo (Host) I love that. Yeah, I'm sure it's called something everywhere. There's different dialects all over the world who tune into HIListically Speaking , so I love that you bring that up. 02:29 - Julia Blackwell (Guest) Yeah, it's correct both ways. But yeah. So fascia is the biological fabric that organizes all of the water and material in your body. So you can think of it like plastic wrap that wraps around every single thing that you have. So every muscle fiber, every muscle, every bone, ligament, tendon, organ, blood ...
