Jill Miller: 我是筋膜专家,教授呼吸练习和筋膜自我放松技术,以提高灵活性、减轻疼痛和增强身体意识。筋膜是连接肌肉、骨骼和器官的结缔组织,对灵活性至关重要。泡沫轴、球、按摩和拔罐等工具可以改善筋膜健康,提高活动范围、减少肌肉酸痛,并增强力量输出。疼痛并非改善效果的必要条件,可以使用软工具来达到目的。通过副交感神经技术和呼吸练习,可以有效管理慢性疼痛和压力,促进放松和恢复。这些技术适用于各个年龄段的人群,可以改善活动能力、身体恢复和疼痛管理。 我开发的许多筋膜自我放松方法侧重于压力调节,但它们也对疼痛和其他疾病非常有帮助。例如,通过按摩胸腰筋膜的侧束并配合呼吸,可以实现脊柱减压,缓解背痛和压力。这是一种无痛的方法,可以改善脊柱的排列,并释放累积的压力。 呼吸在筋膜自我放松中起着关键作用。通过有意识地控制呼吸,可以增强本体感觉和内感受,从而更好地感知身体状态并进行调整。此外,缓慢而深度的呼吸可以促进副交感神经系统的激活,从而缓解压力和疼痛。 对于孕妇或有盆底问题的人群,我建议关注盆底肌的健康。盆底肌与呼吸肌之间存在相互作用,通过协调呼吸和盆底肌的活动,可以改善盆底肌功能,缓解背痛和盆腔疼痛。 对于高活动度人群,我建议在训练前进行筋膜自我放松,以减少延迟性肌肉酸痛。此外,使用软工具进行筋膜自我放松比硬工具更有效,因为硬工具会引起肌肉紧张反应。 对于高活动度人群,我建议在训练前进行筋膜自我放松,以减少延迟性肌肉酸痛。此外,使用软工具进行筋膜自我放松比硬工具更有效,因为硬工具会引起肌肉紧张反应。 Andy Galpin: 我对Jill Miller的呼吸练习和筋膜自我放松技术很感兴趣,因为它可以改善灵活性、减轻疼痛,并增强身体意识。Jill Miller的教学方法将瑜伽的精华部分与科学实践以及其他自我保健方法结合了起来,这让我印象深刻。 在了解Jill Miller的教学方法之前,我一直认为泡沫轴滚压只是单纯的压缩。但通过学习,我了解到它可以压缩组织、诱导局部拉伸,并通过不同方式影响身体不同层次的组织。此外,它还可以改善血管血流,减轻交感神经系统的影响,并增强副交感神经系统的反应。 Jill Miller强调,疼痛并非改善效果的必要条件,可以使用软工具来达到目的。这与我过去使用硬工具的经验形成了对比。 Jill Miller还介绍了脊柱减压技术,这是一种通过按摩胸腰筋膜的侧束并配合呼吸来缓解背痛和压力的方法。这种方法可以改善脊柱的排列,并释放累积的压力。 此外,Jill Miller还介绍了如何通过控制呼吸来改善身体状态,以及如何通过筋膜自我放松来改善盆底肌功能。 总的来说,Jill Miller的呼吸练习和筋膜自我放松技术是一种全面的方法,可以提高灵活性、减轻疼痛,并增强身体意识。它适用于各个年龄段的人群,可以改善活动能力、身体恢复和疼痛管理。

Chapters
This chapter explores the science behind foam rolling and self-myofascial release (SMR), including its effects on range of motion, force output, and the nervous system. It also discusses the role of fascia and nitric oxide release in improving vascular flow.
  • SMR improves range of motion and force output
  • It dampens sympathetic and increases parasympathetic reactivity
  • SMR improves vascular flow via nitric oxide release from fascia

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode, my guest is Jill Miller), a renowned fascia expert and teacher of breathwork practices and self-myofascial release (SMR) to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance body awareness. We discuss how fascia—the connective tissue in and around muscles, bones and organs—is essential for flexibility and movement, and we explore how tools like foam rollers, balls, massage and cupping can improve fascia health. We explain the benefits of self-myofascial release, including improved range of motion, reduced muscle soreness, and improved force output, and we discuss whether experiencing pain or using hard tools is necessary for achieving good results. We also cover practices for managing chronic pain and stress, including parasympathetic techniques and breathing exercises that promote relaxation and recovery. This episode provides many practical techniques to improve mobility, physical recovery and pain management at any stage of life.
