// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //

I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and disease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.

My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.

// NEW CONTENT ON YOUTUBE //

Sometime in 2023 I will return to YouTube with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.

Reasons to release your popliteus and planteris fascia:

The back of the knee has a LOT of fascia in it. Muscles overlap, tendons connect to bones nearby, there are a ton of NERVES here and each one is coated in fascia or connective tissue.

This is a major junction where the fascia in each muscle or tendon can get stuck together, leading to an inability to GLIDE properly through movements like extension of the knee, lunging or squatting.

This area (and technique) is particularly good to try if you have pain that feels like it is directly UNDER your knee cap. If you have sore kneecaps try it! If you have knee PAIN like lateral or medial knee pain, I'd recommend trying your calves or adductors instead (or in addition to).

The reason this works for the above issues is because when there’s a fascial restriction or KNOT behind the knee, it either prevents full extension of the knee OR it jams that ball of fascia into the back of the knee cap when you bend your knee through lunging, squatting etc.
You FEEL the impact of this right under your kneecap or patella.

This is an area of the body that can compensate for a lack of GLUTE activation! So if this is extremely sore, tender or knotted up…you may want to investigate your glutes and find out if they are firing or not.

Give it a try and tell me what you feel when you do this, and HOW you feel AFTER in the comments.
