Yes, And... With Jennifer Whitacre

There's an energetic alignment with our physicality. When there's trauma, that energetic alignment with the physicality gets disconnected, twisted, or buried when we can't handle what's happening. We put up all of these defences, and the fascia system holds a lot of this lack of energy. Today’s episode features pain release expert Lori Zeltwanger, a licensed physical therapist, best-selling author, and the Founder of Advanced Release Therapy. Lori walks us through the myofascial release therapy and explains how she goes about helping her patients in achieving authentic healing. She also outlines some of the red flags to look out for that might hinder the entire healing process.
