YES!! You’re so very welcome. It works!

You’re welcome! Also check the SCM video. Super helpful also for ear ringing.

You’re welcome!

Hi Audree. I hear you. Reach out through info@freebodynow.com and let’s get you better.

Sugar contributes to inflammation, yes, as we discuss in the interview. To lower inflammation in general so that histamine doesn't overwhelm the system one of the first things to remove is sugar.

It feels less painful. Trigger points are chronically held tension and they always have a little bath of inflammation around them, so they hurt when you press on them. When you do this, take a few deep breaths. If it doesn’t feel better, try again later in the day or the next day. You are training your body, “When I press here, you let go.” If not immediate, soon your body will “get it” and let it go, and feel better! If it’s not working, try pressing more gently a few times, just enough so that it feels important. Breathe deeply and relax your body. If you are tense, it won’t be able to release. I hope that’s helpful!

So happy to hear this! You’re welcome

You are so welcome. I love it!

Great additional information!

I guess sometimes it serves us when they listen 😂. This release is so essential and I"m glad you found it useful. Best wishes!

You’re welcome!

The Hip Hook AKA the Mark, is around $200. FYI I don't make the prices! This is not my company but it's an excellent tool if you struggle to release iliacus on your own. They also offer a set and some other things. Their products are well designed and they work. The investment is worth pain free living. Here's the link: shop.alethahealth.com/?ref=DsR2FLq6U84E9-

Hmmm... that's very unusual to have it on both sides, which makes me think it's one of two things: 1- either your pelvis is tucked under so much that both sides of the sciatic nerve are being pinched due to excessive tucking. You'd need to release belly, hamstrings, and glute max first before doing anything else. 2- it's not true sciatica but bilateral trigger points in the glute min muscles, which is often related to too much crossing of the legs and tension in the inner thighs. Release adductors of the inner thighs first, then the outer hips, glute min.

You're welcome!

Hi there and welcome! Can you tell me more about where the pain is?

@@CatMatlock thanks! It feels like it’s kind of deep in my neck, maybe in the lower part of my skull?

@@sweetnothingsasmr1 That sounds like the upper trapezius and/or the suboccipitals. I'll link the upper traps video (good to release the chest/pecs a bit first) and I'll have to make a new video for the suboccipitals. Here's that traps video... czcams.com/video/4o6mSkYyu64/video.htmlsi=OYFsCyqLTEKZ-pd3

@@CatMatlock Thank you so very much!!

Hi Eileen. The short answer is that ... it depends. SI joint pain can come from the quadratus lumborum in the lower back or it can come from the gluteus medius in the butt/pelvis. Typically muscles that are pulled LONG are the ones crying out in pain. So if you're standing off to the left and the pain is on the left, that's probably from glute med. If you're standing to the right and it's on the left, that's probably quadratus lumborum. Hope that helps!

Hooray! Pain free living is where it's at. Enjoy!

❤❤❤❤❤

You’re welcome!! Happy to help you feel better!

Glad it’s helpful for you

So exquisite, right???!!!

Ouch! Yes, do some opening of the chest first, release some of the splenius capitis as well. I can link those videos for you when back at computer if needed. But also opening the chest really helps. Running an air purifier at all times, especially when you are sleeping, can really really help. Best wishes

I hear you that you did not get what you needed. Please tell me what you're dealing with and perhaps I can be more clear. Does your hip feel weak and you cannot put your full weight on that leg? Do you have sciatica? How can I help? This video is a part of an entire month of teachings about Sciatica and my hope was to explain things in a way that many need to hear. And perhaps you need to hear it a different way. I'm happy to make you a personalized video to help so please tell me what yo've got going on and I'll do my best to make something that serves you and feeling well. Best wishes

Yes it’s true. It consumes for a bit until you learn how to navigate. And then you can heal it. Sciatica is a process.

You're welcome! One thing to consider is WHY you're having those trigger points. If this treatment stops working, you'll want to expand the areas you are treating: work on the other side of the body as well, check and see if you have one hip (leg) higher (longer) than the other, watch how you stand and check your posture, etc. And I"m glad this helped and hope it stays gone! It may take a week or so to stay gone (if no other conditions are present) so stick with it.

I hear you. I have been in relentless pain before and I experienced my version of this. Sometimes it is so very hard to move. And yet, it is essential to do so. Even just tiny little movements at first. Deep breaths. Keep softening as much as possible. I'm rooting for you over here. Best wishes

@@CatMatlock thanks...i have chronic pain for over 20 years...getting worse each year ( i walk , do stretches and yoga twice à day )

YES! How wonderful! Yes. Trigger point release really requires the correct angle so it takes a little fishing around in the beginning. But then once you get it ... WOOHOO! That pain may stay away. But if it doesn't, release it a little bit every day or two for a while until that spot tones down. Best wishes

2-3x/week is good. And it's super helpful to understand that gluteus minimus and gluteus medius trigger pts can activate trigger pts in the QL. And the glutes get activated by trigger pts in the inner thighs! So a REALLY good program to follow is: roll the inner thighs, roll the glutes, roll the QL as a grand finale!

​@CatMatlock would love a self care series/workshop on this sequence. I feel like I am constantly fighting this trio

@@timothydube3046 Great idea! I'll plan something...

Wonderful!

You're welcome!

Yes yes. Here's the thing, though. Release the calves a bit as well. Then do this outer shin work. It's all related. And when we use our muscles, that can activate tension and trigger points. It's great to do some rolling right after your run. Run, roll, stretch.

​@CatMatlock i overdid it and have barely been able to dorsiflex my foot the last 5 days but its slowly healing lol :p

I wish i did not watch this video lol. Be careful guys 2 weeks later im still fucked. Compressed my peroneal nerve and am not in a position in life to easily fix this if it doesnt heel on its own

@@nc8186 Did you also do some release work in the calves? I'm also wondering what type of ball you used. If the ball is too firm, anywhere in the body you use it, it can be too much pressure. Yes always do a little bit and then do some movement. Keep me posted. Keep moving! Keep releasing around the area. Check tibialis anterior as well. You might not have hurt the nerve at all. You most likely aggravated the trigger points without releasing the other parts of the system: calves, a little bit of hamstrings, tibialis anterior also.
