15. Ending Chronic Pain Using Fascial Counterstrain Therapy with Tim Hodges

  Tim Hodges, LMP has been pioneering an effort to expand the methodology of Strain Counterstrain to effectively restore function to fascial systems, and receive chronic pain almost instantly.   EPISODE  Tim Hodges is a leading expert in fascial counterstrain, a relatively recent therapy that brings in new and exciting knowledge about fascia, the tissue fibers beneath our skin that enclose and separate our muscles and organs. It was originally thought that body workers (massage therapists, physical therapists, etc.)were only affecting muscle. Now, however, we know that they affect our body's protective tissue, and have the ability to affect dysfunctions in our protective systems that directly affect our vital systems, such as the venal system, the lymphatic system, the cardiovascular system, etc. This sometimes means for those going through chronic pain, the relief can be instantaneous. He and his partner Brian Tuckey have been revolutionizing what we know about fascia, what it does to the body, and its potential for healing. Tim explains how our body's protection system and defense system sometimes malfunctions and can cause discomfort. However, utilizing new techniques to identify and treat dysfunctions in fascia, Tim can achieve amazing, and even miracle-like results for a huge variety of fascial maladies.  In this episode, we’ll delve into: how fascia protects our vital tissues from bodily harm how when our protective reflexes malfunction, they can cause long-term body discomfort and blockage how he learned of a technique that instantly corrects these blockages how the immune system sequesters disease and might actually make you feel sluggish because the disease is still affecting your immune system how he is healing patients that haven't been able to move joints for years   For complete shownotes and more, please head over to www.optimizedgeek.com/timhodges LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED WestsideMT.com Jones Institute TuckeyPT.com   GET OPTIMIZED! 1. Understand that fascia is so much more than "body glue" - it is a protection system that the body employs. 2. Pain is not a problem on its own. It is only a side effect of a larger problem, so you need to get to the root instead of treating it as a symptom.  3. Do you have chronic problems with allergies? Get your fascia checked out. It might be an immune dysfunction that can be treated with fascia work.   THANK YOU FOR LISTENING! As always, thank you for tuning in.
