Adhesions start differently. Every structure in the body except unmyelinated nerves is wrapped in fascia, and when an organ or muscle stays in dysfunction long enough, that fascia changes from fluid to crystalline and sticks to its neighbor. In this episode I walk through both, using the kidney and the psoas as an example, and show why scars and adhesions end up doing the same three things: reducing function, slowing fluid flow, and entrapping nerves.\nThis episode is for education and isn't medical advice.\nMy writing, teaching, and book live at https://leighankrum.com\nPractitioners: https://leighankrum.com/practitioners\nCHAPTERS\n0:00 Coming up\n0:20 The Body Knows\n0:35 Welcome: scars versus adhesions\n0:43 How scar tissue forms\n1:51 Fascia around everything\n2:18 How adhesions form\n2:57 Example: the kidney and the psoas\n3:22 Fluid to crystalline\n3:58 Adhesions versus scars\n4:55 What both of them do\n5:12 Until next time","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rM60Up3MCQcJhl209n5dGnqqpIdHRQYQ61Kh1Dqj6yE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZWM1/N2NkMTViODljZjll/NzQ5MzE2NmZjNTJk/OGVhOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
