Fascia & Myofascial Release with Dr. Kate Oland - Episode 95

Episode 95 is about fascia and myofascial release therapy, a form of manual therapy that uses sustained, carefully directed pressure and stretching techniques intended to improve the mobility of the fascia and surrounding soft tissues. My guest is Dr. Kate Oland, a physical therapist and expert-level Myofascial Release therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She has dedicated her clinical practice to fascia-focused care and has become an advocate for integrating contemporary fascial science into undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology education. She is also the founder of Thrive Holistic Physical Therapy and of Thrive Everywhere, a healthcare education and technology platform designed to help people better understand their healthcare options and connect with private-practice clinicians. She also hosts The Healing Journey, a podcast that uses education and vulnerable conversation to explore the many dimensions of healing. You can watch Dr. Oland’s Fascia Lecture on YouTube.
