I used the inaugural episode of I Didn't Know That as an excuse to get a massage. JK, but what an amazing experience! Brooke Frontiera, an Occupational Therapist based in Brooklyn, Michigan, uses a hands-on approach to release fascia and help us balance our bodies better. Because this is a shared space with other businesses like House of Fausz Nails, Fresh Skin Esthetics, and Grazing Thyme Charcuterie, there is a touch of background noise. Embrace it. It's ambiance.
Key takeaways from this episode for me were:
- Your jaw and hips are directly connected since before you were born. Heal one, and the other follows.
- Pelvic floor therapy does NOT mean kegels! Stop it!
- Pulling your shoulders back will not fix your bad posture.
- Fascia is pronounced FASH-uh. Not FAYSH-uh.
- SLOW DOWN. Listen to your body and it will tell you what it needs.
