// 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 dis-ease 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 KZread //
Sometime in 2023 I will return to KZread 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.
********** // VIDEO DESCRIPTION // *********
My favorite foam roller for SMR (self myofascial release): omroller.com/?ref=11
Why release this part of your neck?
If you look down at a phone or computer a lot, then the tissue in this part of your neck is undoubtedly getting dense and shortened. So even if you don’t have the pain issues listed below, you might be experiencing text neck or forward head posture as a result of all the tightness.
This alone causes a huge strain on your cervical spine (in the back), and if left untreated can lead to pain that would otherwise be avoidable by releasing this part of your neck regularly.
A lot of anterior neck muscles converge just above the clavicle, making this part of your body more susceptible to fascial adhesions, fascial restrictions and density. Muscle junctions tend to get the most gluey/sticky and adhesed, and there are a lot of muscles here: scalenes, traps, omohyoid, levator scapula and platisma.
The brachial plexus lives here, connecting nerve pathways between the arm, spine and brain.
Nerve impingement in and around the brachial plexus could cause all kinds of issues, like arms falling asleep, weak grip, shooting pain down the arm or into the upper shoulders or shoulder blade.
When this area is really tight (the fascia has become dehydrated and is sticking to itself, causing areas of density to form), it can block blood flow to the arms and cause a decrease in blood circulation back to the heart from the arms (venous return). This, in turn, can cause a decrease in blood circulation to the eyes and brain.
Tissue restriction in this area can cause shoulder pain, neck pain, TMJ or jaw pain, tension headaches, arm pain and middle back pain.
Please be careful releasing this area, since it is so rich in nerves.

Your directions were excellent. Within a minute I was my normal self and made the most wonderful easter dinner for my family. Thank you so much. I will be forever grateful ❤

    Love this :) I remember one day when driving bk home from work I started massaging my trap area on the right side as its always really tight there and my vision became really clear in my right eye and seems to be the case now everytime I do it. I'm convinced if I get into a routine and do it more regularly it will permanently stay like that.

    I definitely needed this one! Last Wednesday I narrowly avoided adding to a car accident on my way home from PT. I had minor whiplash and my neck immediately got tight and radiated up to my temples, triggering a tension headache that turned into a migraine. I did my best to keep hydrating and worked on my traps using your techniques. I'm hoping adding this in helps! It felt really good after trying it to do the flat palm anchoring just below my collar bone, with head movements.

    Try the same technique while taking 30 deep breaths on every tense spot ( deep because you wanna fill your lungs 🫁 till the apex of your lung is full and pushes your fingers out, so this will give you double the relief) also tilt your head to the opposite side to really try to break the nerve free from adhesions 👌🏻.
