- www.gilhedley.com In this video I define and make a distinction between shearing and gliding in order to better understand two ways in which differential movement is expressed in the human body. Explorer members of my site can see in great detail the tissues which demonstrate these phenomena, enjoy!

The hockey metaphor can be expanded: growing up in Montreal, we always had a rink in the back yard. But some days it was just too cold for the gliding layer of liquid water to form under our skates or the puck. Skating felt like walking on concrete, and the puck would not glide at all. Kind of an adhesion through dehydration. My body feels like that sometimes (but less often now.) Thank you for your wonderful teaching.
Thank you for extending the metaphor Philip, I think that is a very apt comparison!
I am reminded of a 'Live with Gil' that you had on your site with Leslie Kaminoff. It was great! I believe that he was going to address his personal battle with Covid -but there were so many great questions that came in from your members that we never got to that subject. Your description of the lungs with the serous fluid that help the 'gliding' made me recall all the articles that were published during the pandemic. There will be so much that will be discovered about Covid…but with this CZcams episode, I can see the relevancy to how the adhesions interfered with the lungs being able to in their healthy pattern? What say you, Gil?
I hope you schedule Leslie on, again-all your guest speakers are well versed in their subjects!
Thanks Cathy, and yes indeed, adhesions make a huge difference to lung mobility and function. In your Explorer Membership you can watch, in the What's the Fuzz?!" tour talk videos, a couple of very cool clips of lungs in motion, both "healthy" (though non-living) and "unhealthy" smoker-lungs, very compelling, as well as numerous images of lung adhesions, enjoy! And I will definitely have Leslie back, he is a dear friend and extremely knowledgeable!
Amazing as always and a highlight of the day! Looking forward to experiencing this via Elizabeth Larkham’s ‘Fascia in Motion’ repertoire on the reformer. Thank you.
Ooh fun say Hi to Elizabeth for me!
This is fundamental concepts and best explanation I ever received! Thanks Gill
Ah wonderful I'm glad to hear it Sunny!
Wonderful explanation as always Gill😊
Thank you Angel!! :) (Fil? haha I'll answer to anything :)
Sorry my eyes👀
@@somanaut that's what happens without my glasses 👀
"Warps" and "hockey puck"-perfect word choices, once again, to illustrate the complex framework of anatomy. Thank you.
Thank you Stephanie, I'm glad these words hit the mark for you!
Love this topic! Can you talk about mechanisms of how adhesions can form and how they can be broken up or rehydrated? For example, chronic muscle spasms caused by nerve compression can lead to dehydration , atrophy, and fascial adhesions. Conversely, shearing fascia mechanically with massage or something like the Corgeous Ball stimulates fasciacytes to produce hyaluronic acid. This allows fascia to rehydrate and restore lubricity between layers.
Good topics! I go into these issues deeply in my "What's the Fuzz?!" tour talk videos which can be found in the Inner Space Library of my (free) Easy Rider membership on my website, www.gilhedley.com/membership , enjoy!
@@somanaut Another great title! In describing the symptom progressions for the muscle atrophy I have experienced, after an initial itchy phase, the next symptom I described was a fuzzy sensation before pins and needles move in. Look forward to watching "What's the Fuzz"!!
Brilliant info as usual, thank you.
Thank you Patty!
Fantastic explanation, the Canadian in me appreciated the hockey puck analogy. :-) I look forward to your talk in Vancouver, BC. Thanks from a new fan.
Thank you Erica! Please set aside Saturday Nov. 18th in Vancouver, I'll be announcing that schedule soon and look forward to seeing you there!
Lovely descriptions again Gil. I thought we might be listening to application of techniques and shearing (painful and applied with more effort} versus gliding (working with the body, easier, connected to the clients tissue).
Thanks Paula! Yah this is a bit of a different spin on those words...shearing is what it is on this perspective, it doesn't imply effortful or painful, it is more an understanding of a type of movement and set of relationships here, and, I get that version of it too!!
On reflecting about lack of daily movement, ageing and elderly people (my mother currently) it is interesting to contemplate the muscle tissues and viscera becoming increasingly dehydrated and bunged up or gluey. With someone nearing end of life, the body tissues atrophy and get cord like and stiff. The limbs can twist into a protective cocooning shape and twitch involuntarily. Witnessing all of this and the discomfort in the viscera in someone who is bed-bound, I have emphasised movement in any small way possible. And of course increasing hydration, which is a big problem with the elderly. I have watched your "Fuzz" video years ago, so I can see and feel how the tissues are becoming more leathery in the very elderly and unhealthy body. As a CST, I am interested in learning more about the formation of adhesions - post surgical healing, or due to general inactivity, or very elderly condition.
Mmm thank you for your service to our sick and elderly Katy, that is a population whose bodies cry out for movement, and hands on contact can help wake tissues that the person cannot move otherwise~
Vocabulary for meditation: During shear how the fluid and nervous systems respond. What the response is when the shear is reversed. The multiple shears around compression and expansion. I use a lot of vibration to activate the lymphatic valves think of the different effects of when the tissue is under shear or gliding.
Cool stuff, thanks Hans!
Great explanation Gil!
I shared on my FB page!
This is so exciting and exactly what I needed to watch! Thank you!
Awesome I'm glad to know it is of timely service to you!
Great video.
I love this explanation!
Thank you Swaha, I'm glad it hits home!
Thank you Gil!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Really fantastic explanation Gil. I get a sense now of the way things move relative to surrounding or adjacent tissues and how there is a difference between the muscles tissues that shear differentially, versus the visceral and surrounding areas that have a gliding motion. Just about to do further training in Fascial Unwinding the viscera and this is super helpful. Shared it with my instructors.
Oh terrific I'm glad to know this was helpful Katy, are you studying with the Barral folks?
I studied with CCST, Thomas Attlee, in London. Actually I think thanks should go to you. And Leslie Kaminoff, and Tom Myers who I have studied with. All roads led to a whole body approach and fascia.
I got into studying Craniosacral Therapy through the fuzz and you one could say! Fascial unwinding was my first Craniosacral class, and I was hooked. I am now a Yoga/Scoliosis Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist! So thank you for the continuing imparting of knowledge!
if you were my teacher i'd be full focus and never fall asleep 😂
Haha that is a high complement, I'm glad to keep you at the edge of your seat even for a few minutes here :)
In neurodynamics, I know the nerve gliders, and tensioners.
Gliding is with serous fluid I understand from your video.
But I think the peripheral nerve is connected through perifascia and not serous fluid, thereby I think it is not right to call it sliding, but shearing of the peripheral nerves.
Maybe you can help me to understand this beter.
What's the difference between the perifascial membrane and a "septa"?
A septum is a dense regular fibrous fascia interventing between muscle tissues to which they are often, but not always, simultaneously anchored, so, as stable structure relative to which different muscle tissues may be leveraging force. A perifascial membrane has a looser, irregular fiber pattern lightly distributed in a much more fluid ground substance that permits of greater elasiticity and supports the tissues in which it is in relationship to express differential movement relative to each other. (A lot of words! Easier for me to show it: watch my "What's the Fuzz?!" tour talks, they are located in the (free) Easy Rider membership on my site: www.gilhedley.com/membership ) Enjoy!
@@somanaut This made me realize that I was seeing "fuzz" or perifascial membranes in the Chuck Roast I bought from the butcher as well as septa. I wouldn't bother cutting away a septa as it would melt after 2 hours of cooking. But in a tri-tip which doesn't cook as long, they're can be bits of gristle often with pockets of fat. Even though I'm already an Easy Rider, I never saw the "Fuzz talk".
I am so in love with you, Gil! Don't worry girlfriend, you are safe (sorry I forgot your name!) I keep thinking to myself.... if only I had Gil teach all of my classes when I was in grade school, I'd be a Rhode Scholar today! hahaha... seriously,...I always know I am going to learn something interesting when you put up a new video! I love the examples you use... it is so close to home for me as I can relate to both of those terms. I know there is a modality out there that works with the viscera... I forget what it is now, but I was curious as to what sort of work would one do to help correct this? Can those breaks in the membranes be repaired? P. s. I am an easy rider as I am approaching the end of my career.
Hi Gypsy Rose, I welcome the love, no worries ;) There are several modalities involving visceral manipulation, including Chi Nei Tsang, Barral Institute work, etc. Sorry I didn't mean to say there were "breaks" in the membranes but rather adhesions across the intervening fluid between the fascial coverings and containment of the viscera. There is debate over the degree to which the adhesions can be relieved, the goal being less to disconnect them and more to enhance the pliability and moveabililty, in which case the body may or may not dissolve them but movement will improve. Thanks for watching!!
I’m working for children with severe handicaps, they can’t move their body’s very well. Shearing and Gliding are both a significant chronic problem there…
Mmm for sure, thank you for taking on that challenging, much needed work~
@@somanaut absolutely! But the whole human population is growing up moving less, and especially the elderly show the result in their way of moving. (Old) people who practise yoga or Tai Chi point the way to propper gliding and shearing 😉
