The Science of Fascia: How Simple Movements Can Calm Your Mind & Heal Your Body with Jason van Blerk #620

I've seen people release extreme trauma, you know, from screaming to people passing out to shaking to just crying or just sitting in silence. And there's something that we're doing here. I don't fully understand it yet. And I hope one day a scientist comes in and starts to really research what's changing in people. But when people do this, they start to balance their emotions.

They start to feel more grounded and more centered in themselves. Hey guys, how are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More.

When it comes to feeling better, many of us instinctively start with our minds. We think about our thoughts, our beliefs, our stress levels, but what if a huge part of our emotional and psychological experience? is actually being held in our bodies, quite literally, in a remarkable tissue called fascia. This week I'm joined by Jason Van Blerck, one of the co-founders of Human Garage, a global self-care movement that aims to inspire 1 billion people to heal themselves through simple, accessible movement practices that they call fascial maneuvers. In our conversation we explore what fascia actually is, why modern science is only just beginning to catch up with what many practitioners have observed for decades, and how emotions and past experiences may be stored in our physical structure.
