What Happens to Fascia When Hormones Decrease?

It seems that recently I have had many clients in peri menopause or menopause who have been suffering from increased pain and wondering if it is hormone related.

Hormone changes both in menopause and around the menstrual cycle can definitely affect the fascia. Estrogen, relaxin, and cortisol all directly affect the fascia’s composition, elasticity, and pain signaling.
Estrogen- There are estrogen receptors in fibroblasts which affect the production of collagen. Increased levels of estrogen cause increased type III collagen and decreased levels of estrogen cause the production of type I collagen. Type III collagen is more elastic and extensible and type I is stiff and rigid almost like scar tissue. The decrease in estrogen that occurs with menopause leads to type I collagen which in turn causes increased pain and possible risk for injury in certain areas. Some conditions include frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, thumb pain, hip pain, and pelvic pain. Women who do still have a cycle or are pregnant will often have periods of increased estrogen which can increase injuries related to the laxity of the tissues like ligament tears and ACL injuries.
Relaxin- Helps to limit inflammation and fibrosis. Relaxin promotes extracellular matrix remodeling by decreasing collagen synthesis, breaking down certain collagen types and inhibiting inflammation. As this hormone decreases in menopause it adds to inflammation and increases collagen production which in turn leads to pain.
Cortisol- Along with dealing with body changes many middle aged women also have other stressors including dealing with children, aging, parents, work, and financial struggles all of which contribute to increased stress. Increased stress leads to more cortisol production. Not only do women have increased cortisol due to stress, cortisol also increases during menopause because when the estrogen and progesterone decline your body it is not able to regulate the cortisol. This is due in part to the fact that cortisol shares the same receptors. When progesterone decreases there are more receptors open for cortisol so it increases significantly. In addition estrogen keeps down production of cortisol which also adds to this increase. Cortisol increases inflammation in the fascia causing increased rigidity and pain. Increased cortisol can mean weight gain, poor sleep, brain fog, pain and fatigue.
Androgens- A decrease in testosterone also often occurs with menopause. This too can limit collagen as testosterone works to decrease the amount of collagen degradation. (This is one reason why older men also have increased stiffness and pain)
So what can I do about it?
1.Consider hormone replacement therapy or take a DEHA supplement (s*x hormone precursor). It should be personalized and closely monitored by a medical professional.
2.Treat yourself regularly with self myofascial release, heat, stretching, and relaxation. All of these improve circulation and help to keep the tissues lubricated which will decrease pain as well as risk for injury.
3. Maintain a healthy diet. Especially decreasing sugar intake. The decrease in estrogen and increase in cortisol already increase inflammation and sugar just adds to that inflammation. Decreased estrogen and progesterone make the cells less sensitive to insulin. This makes it difficult for the body to regulate sugar intake.
Eat these 15 foods that assist in hormone production: Avocados, flaxseeds, chia seeds,leafy greens, broccoli, quina, berries, nuts, lentils, yogurt, salmon, eggs, seaweed, pomegranate, dark chocolate
4.Get regular MFR treatment.
How Myofascial Release Helps!
Rehydration and Improved Glide: The sustained pressure and movement applied during MFR stimulate fasciacytes to produce more hyaluronan, which increases the fluid content and lubricates the fascial layers. This restores the smooth "gliding" motion essential for pain-free movement.
Collagen Remodeling: MFR stimulates fibroblasts to realign collagen fibers and can encourage a shift towards a more pliable tissue structure, helping to restore elasticity.
Breaking Adhesions: The shearing effect of MFR pressure helps to physically break apart adhesions or "knots" where the fascia has become bound down or thickened.
Enhanced Circulation: MFR improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the affected areas, which supports tissue healing and reduces inflammation.
Neuromuscular Regulation: The gentle pressure and stretching stimulate mechanoreceptors (sensory nerve endings) within the fascia, which can calm the nervous system (shifting from "fight-or-flight" to "rest-and-digest") and reduce muscle guarding and pain perception.
By addressing both the physical and neurological aspects of fascial stiffness, myofascial release helps the body adjust to hormonal changes, leading to improved mobility, reduced chronic pain, and greater comfort during menopause.

Breast Cancer After Care

Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it would be a good time to talk about aftercare for the fascia following a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or radiation treatment.

After these procedures, patients may experience pain, tightness, and limited range of motion related to scar tissue and changes in the surrounding tissues. Depending on the individual and the type of procedure, common approaches may include creams, silicone gel, compression garments, or steroid injections. Sometimes, however, these methods provide only limited relief.

So, what can patients do if pain, tightness, or limited function persists?

Myofascial release (MFR) may be an option to consider.

How Can Myofascial Release Help?
Myofascial release uses gentle, sustained pressure and stretching techniques to address restrictions in the fascia and surrounding soft tissue. When appropriate, this work may help improve tissue mobility, decrease feelings of tightness, and support improved range of motion.

But first, let's take a look at what happens to the body following a procedure such as a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or radiation.

Stage 1: Hemostasis
Hemostasis occurs immediately after tissue injury. Its purpose is to stop bleeding and help seal the injured area.

Blood vessels constrict, and blood begins to clot, changing from a liquid to a gel-like state. This initial response helps protect the wound while the body begins the repair process.

Stage 2: Inflammatory Phase
Once the wound has been sealed, the body begins the process of cleaning and protecting the injured area.

During this phase, immune cells, including white blood cells, along with enzymes, growth factors, and other substances, move into the area to remove damaged tissue and help protect against infection.

Although inflammation can cause redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness, it is an essential part of the healing process.

Stage 3: Proliferative Phase
Next, the body begins rebuilding the injured tissue during the proliferative phase.

New tissue forms to help close and repair the wound. Collagen and other components of the extracellular matrix are produced to provide structure and strength. New blood vessels also develop to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the healing tissue.

The wound may also begin to contract as this process takes place.

Stage 4: Maturation and Remodeling Phase
The final stage is the maturation and remodeling phase. During this stage, the body continues to strengthen and reorganize the newly formed tissue.

Collagen fibers are remodeled and reorganized, and the scar gradually changes in appearance, texture, and strength. This process can continue for months or even longer depending on the individual and the injury.

So, Where Does Fascia Come In?
During the proliferative and remodeling stages, connective tissues are being formed and reorganized. Scar tissue can become less mobile and may create restrictions in the surrounding tissues.

The amount and appearance of scar tissue can vary from person to person and may be influenced by factors such as genetics, age, the location and depth of the injury, infection, movement, and mechanical forces placed on the tissue during healing.

And scar tissue isn't always limited to what you can see on the surface.

Even minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic surgery, can result in internal scar tissue and changes in tissue mobility.

A Scar Can Affect More Than Just the Area You See
I have worked with many clients with scars, including C-section scars, mastectomy scars, and scars from abdominal surgeries.

I often ask clients to imagine their fascia like the threads of a sweater or the interconnected fibers of a spider web.

When one area becomes restricted, it can influence the movement and tension of tissues around it because these tissues are interconnected.

This doesn't mean that every scar will cause problems throughout the body. However, a scar can sometimes contribute to changes in tissue mobility, movement patterns, or posture—particularly when the surrounding tissues are also restricted.

How Can Myofascial Release Help?
Myofascial release uses slow, sustained techniques to work with areas of restricted soft tissue.

The goal is not to force the scar to change, but to gradually encourage improved mobility of the scar and surrounding tissues.

As tissue mobility improves, some people may experience:

-Decreased feelings of tightness

-Improved range of motion

-Improved tissue mobility

-Less discomfort with movement

-Greater ease of movement in the surrounding area

-Every scar and every person is different, so results will vary.

If you are experiencing persistent pain, tightness, or limited movement following breast surgery or radiation myofascial release may be an important component of a comprehensive approach to scar and soft-tissue care.

Your body continues to change long after the incision has healed on the surface. Scar care and appropriate movement can be an important part of supporting your recovery.

Do You Have Sciatica!

Do you have pain or tingling/numbness that starts on one side of your back and goes down your leg?

You may have sciatica!
Sciatica is caused by a pinched nerve in your back or hip that causes pain or numbness/tingling to shoot down your leg. If it begins in the L4, L5 region it is caused by a bulging or herniated disc or spinal stenosis.This pain often shoots past the knee and down to the ankle and is worse with sitting, coughing, or sneezing. If the pain originates in the buttock it is caused by a tight piriformis muscle which pinches the sciatic nerve. This pain is deep in the buttock or upper thigh and gets worse with sitting, stairs, or hip rotation. It is often painful to walk or to lift your leg up into a car or bed. This can be very painful and debilitating (I speak from personal experience ) Sciatica often starts when bending the wrong way or lifting something too heavy.

How does myofascial release help?
MFR Helps to release the fascia surrounding the muscles and tissues around the large sciatic nerve. When the pressure on the nerve subsides the pain, numbness, and tingling does too.

After myofascial treatment to release tight tissues maintain with....

Stretches
Cat/Cow pose
Start on your hands and knees, with wrists under shoulders and knees under hips.
-Cow: Inhale. Drop your belly toward the floor, gently lift your chest and tailbone, and look slightly forward. Keep your neck relaxed.
-Cat: Exhale. Draw your belly toward your spine, round your back toward the ceiling, tuck your chin toward your chest, and let your tailbone curl underneath you.
-Continue slowly alternating between Cow and Cat, matching the movement to your breathing.
-Repeat for about 5–10 cycles, moving comfortably rather than forcing the range of motion.
The movement should feel smooth and gentle—not painful. If your wrists are uncomfortable, you can make fists, use a folded towel under your hands, or modify the position.

Childs pose
-Start on your hands and knees.
-Bring your hips back toward your heels.
-Lower your chest toward your thighs and let your forehead rest on the mat.
-Extend your arms forward with your palms down, or place them alongside your body for a more relaxed variation.
-Let your shoulders, neck, and jaw soften.
-Breathe slowly and comfortably while holding the pose for a few minutes.
You should feel a gentle stretch, especially through the back and hips. If your hips don’t comfortably reach your heels, place a pillow or folded blanket between your hips and heels for support.
Figure 4 Pose
Lying-down Figure 4
-Lie on your back with both knees bent and your feet on the floor.
-Cross your right ankle over your left thigh, creating a “4” shape with your legs.
Keep your right foot flexed to help protect your knee.
-Lift your left leg and gently draw it toward your chest, holding behind your thigh or around your shin.
-Keep your head, shoulders, and back relaxed on the floor.
-Hold for 1-2 minutes, breathing slowly.
-Switch sides.
You should feel a stretch in the glute and outer hip of the crossed leg, not sharp pain in the knee.
Standing Pigeon Pose
-Stand upright near the bed with your feet about hip-width apart.
-Shift your weight onto your left leg and keep a slight bend in the knee.
-Lift your right leg and place your right ankle across your left thigh, creating a figure-4 shape on the bed.
-Slowly bend at your hips, resting your chest on the bed
-Hold for 1-2 minutes, breathing steadily.
-Carefully return to standing upright and switch sides.
Cobra Pose
-Lie on your stomach with your legs extended behind you and the tops of your feet resting on the floor.
-Place your hands beside your chest, with your elbows bent and tucked close to your body.
-Press gently into your hands and lift your chest and upper torso off the floor.
-Keep your hips and legs grounded and your shoulders relaxed away from your ears.
-Keep your elbows slightly bent rather than locking them.
-Look forward or slightly upward while keeping your neck comfortable.
-Hold for 1-2 seconds, breathing slowly.
-Lower your chest back to the floor with control.
You should feel a gentle stretch through your abdomen and chest and some work in your back. Avoid forcing the height of the backbend—a lower Cobra is perfectly fine.
Stretch Quads and Hamstrings
Quad Stretch
-Stand upright and hold onto a wall or sturdy surface for balance.
-Bend your right knee and bring your heel toward your buttocks.
-Grab your right ankle with your right hand.
-Keep your knees close together and gently pull your heel toward you.
-Keep your torso upright and avoid arching your lower back.
-Hold for 2-3 minutes, then switch sides.
You should feel the stretch along the front of your thigh.
Hamstring Stretch
-Sit on the floor with one leg extended straight in front of you and the other leg bent.
-Keep your back relatively straight and gently hinge forward from your hips.
-Reach toward your extended foot or shin without forcing yourself to touch your toes.
-Keep the extended knee comfortably straight.
-Hold for 2-3 minutes, then switch sides. You should feel a gentle stretch along the back of your thigh. Avoid bouncing or pushing into pain

Self Myofascial Release
This exercise uses a yoga ball to apply gentle pressure to the piriformis and surrounding glute muscles.
-Sit or lay on the floor with your knees bent and feet supported.
-Place a small, firm yoga ball underneath one side of your buttock, slightly toward the outer portion of the glute rather than directly on the center of your spine.
-Slowly shift your weight onto the ball in a figure 4 pose until you feel moderate, comfortable pressure in the glute(huts so good pain).
-Use your hands and opposite foot to control your weight and gently move your body a few inches at a time.
-Explore the surrounding glute area slowly, pausing on areas that feel tight.
-Breathe normally and relax the muscles as you apply pressure.
-Spend about 1-2 minutes on each area as tolerated, then switch sides. Remember hurts so good pain only!
The sensation should feel like pressure or a tolerable “good” soreness, not sharp, burning, or electrical pain. Avoid rolling directly over the tailbone, hip bone, or other bony areas.
Tip: A softer or larger yoga ball provides gentler pressure. Start with less body weight on the ball and gradually increase pressure as comfortable.

ALWAYS use good posture!
- Sit/stand always keeping a curve in your low back. In standing, hips in alignment over ankles as well as knees in midline. In seated position 90 degrees at ankle, knees, and hips.
-When bending to pick up items, bend at the knee, keep heavy items close to your body, and lift with your legs. Avoid twisting your back or hips!
-When sleeping in sidling keep a pillow between your knees, on your back a pillow under your knees, and on your stomach a pillow under hips (some of my clients say this is a game changer!)

Rountines

Now that summer is over, kids are getting back to school, and things are getting back to “normal” it’s time to get back into healthy routines! Remember if you don’t take care of yourself now you will pay for it later😉

What do you do for yourself? I know that most of us are concerned about taking care of our families, making our bosses happy, hitting the productivity or deadlines, putting food on the table, and getting the chores done. But, when do you take time for yourself? I always joke with my clients that everyone should have a ME day every week or at least once a month. This is time you spend taking care of your body and mind. Go to a yoga class, schedule your MFR appointment, sit out in nature and relax, take a nap, go for a long walk. Do whatever your body and mind need for you to recover. I feel like we live in a world where we are forced to go,go,go or you are considered lazy and taking care of ourselves is an afterthought. We don’t make time to slow down and take care of ourselves. And where is that getting us? When we don’t take care of ourselves we have increased pain, decreased concentration, and are less happy. I feel like we live in a world where anxiety and depression are rampant…and mainly due to the fact that we are not taking care of ourselves. And what good are we to our families, friends, and bosses when we are in pain or in a state of anxiety and depression?

So figure out what self care routine is for you. What makes you feel good? Start small and add that into your routine. For example:

1. Schedule 10 minutes of meditation or yoga (or both😉) into your morning routine.
2. Take a walk every day or do some form of exercise each day.
3. Schedule monthly MFR appointments to keep you in tune.
4. Add in self MFR to your daily routine.
5. Eat the right foods. Foods that make you feel good! If you listen to your body you will know or you can have a food sensitivity test to find out what your body doesn’t like.
6. Drink plenty of water.
7. Don’t be afraid to just BE occasionally. After all we are human beings and not human doings😉

How to Make a New Routine Stick!

Now that you have an idea what you may want to add to your routine these are some suggetstions on how to make it a habit!

I know that most of us don’t even think about the impact that our daily habits have on our lives. Things that we do every day without even thinking about it help to keep us healthy and alive. From washing our bodies to brushing our teeth to eating our breakfast. We don’t even think about doing these things often; they just happen. That is because they are habits that we have formed that we complete every day about the same time each day and we are in a sense on auto pilot.
What is difficult though is breaking habits or starting new ones especially if you are older and are set in your ways. For instance adding in exercise and stretching to your daily habits may seem very difficult at least at first. According to BJ Fogg in his book Tiny Habits, the most important thing about making new habits or breaking old ones is looking at our motivation to complete them as well as our ability to achieve them. If we make goals and habits too hard and we don’t have the motivation to complete them they most likely will not become habits. For example if you decide you are going to work out super hard every morning at 5:30, but you hate mornings and hate exercise you probably are not going to be motivated to get up and work your heart out 😉 So a better way would be to either do you exercise at a time when you are more motivated or do a smaller amount of exercise at least to begin with. Even starting with getting out of bed and doing 10 to 15 minutes of stretching is a good start. In this example you may not be motivated to get out of bed but the task that you have at hand is simple and easy to achieve so you are more likely to do it. As you get used to that routine of getting out of bed and doing 10 to 15 minutes of stretching you can gradually add 5-10 minutes to the time until you reach your desired goal.
On the other hand if you want to break a bad habit like eating crappy food it is best to make it harder to get. So for example you are very motivated to eat all of the Oreo cookies in your cabinet when you get home from a stressful day of work. In order to stop this bad habit you need to make it harder to get those Oreo cookies. So don’t buy them or have them at home available for you to eat.
Something that I really liked about Fogg’s book was that he said you shouldn’t blame yourself. Instead of beating yourself up over messing up because you couldn’t do the crazy exercise in the morning or stop yourself from eating the Oreos you need to look at why it’s happening and the motivation and ease of the habit. The problem is the process and not you. You are just naturally doing what is the easiest for you.
One other important key factor with forming habits is you need to have prompts. So if you want to start a new habit you should do it directly after or during a task that you are already doing daily. That task is a prompt for you to start a new habit. On the other hand if you want to stop a bad habit you need to take away the prompts. He gives the example of wanting to stop scrolling on your phone right when you get up in the morning. Instead of the alarm on your phone being the prompt to pick up the phone and start looking at Facebook, put your phone outside of the room. Get an old fashioned alarm clock that does not have your phone attached to it :-) problem solved!
So I challenge you to think about one habit that you want to start and one you want to stop. Now look at the motivation and ability behind each and tweak each to make it happen or stop it. I also suggest reading the book Tiny Habits. As a bonus he puts in simple habits for different areas of your life. Like motivating and uplifting yourself by giving a fist pump and saying “yes” to yourself after accomplishments. Makes me smile every time I think of it 😂 Good Luck!!

Start those healthy routines and start taking care of yourself today! Your life depends on it!!

Highlight on Hydration

Now that summer is upon us it is time to get prepared for the increased heat, humidity, and more time spent outdoors. It is extremely important for our health to stay hydrated!
A cause for pain and poor health is dehydration. The majority of us today do not drink the needed amount of my water we should. In order for our cells to stay healthy the toxins released from them need to be excreted and nutrients need to be brought to them. This happens through the extracellular matrix. This is the area between muscles,organs, cells, and throughout connective tissue (fascia)!
When we do not drink enough water the Fluid matrix which is 70% water cannot replenish causing restrictions and toxins to build resulting in pain, decreased mobility, and illness.

Some signs you may be dehydrated:
1. You are thirsty-if you wait to get a drink until you are thirsty you are already slightly dehydrated
2. You have dry skin
3. You have dark colored urine
4. You are frequently tired
5. Your mouth is dry
6. You urinate infrequently
7. You have low blood pressure
8. You have muscle cramping
9. You have constipation
10. You have headaches

Dehydration can also increase injury risk as the fluid matrix serves as a cushion or spring between cells and tissues.
Stay hydrated!! Ideally you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water per day. For example if you weigh 180 pounds you should be drinking 90 ounces of water a day!

In addition to drinking plenty of water it is also important for you to have the proper electrolytes in your system. Electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium. They need to be balanced in order for our bodies to maintain healthy blood, heart rhythm, muscle function, nerve conduction, and hydration. When they are imbalanced, especially sodium, you can become dehydrated even if you are drinking enough water. If you are someone who tends to sweat a lot then you likely need electrolyte supplements more frequently. You also don’t want to drink too much water because that can dilute the electrolytes causing issues as well. In my research, I didn’t find a definitive amount of electrolytes needed each day. The best way to determine if you have an imbalance is by listening to your body. If you have some of the following symptoms you may want to assess your electrolyte levels. An MD can check this by completing a blood or urine test to check levels. However, they change frequently depending on exercise, water intake, and consumption of foods and drinks containing electrolytes.

Some electrolyte imbalance symptoms are:
1. Confusion,irritability, anxiety
2. Diarrhea and constipation
3. Fatigue
4. Headaches
5. Irregular/fast heartbeat
6. Muscle cramps/spasms/weakness
7. Nausea and vomiting
8. Tingling in limbs, fingers and toes.

In addition to consuming enough water and electrolytes it is important that you release restricted fascia. In order for the water and electrolytes you drink to reach the cells, the facial tissue cannot be restricted. When it is tight the fluid matrix is in a sense shut out and the nutrients cannot reach the cells and toxins cannot be released. This causes pain and dysfunction.

So do yourself a favor and get treated with myofascial release, continue with self myofascial release, drink plenty of water and balance your electrolytes!
You’ll be glad you did😉
