Dan, if you have a moment, could you respond to my questions in the Understanding Fascia thread?

I'm really curious if you'd be willing to post some clips of the exercises you describe here - for example the twin sticks mentioned just above, or the wall pushing exercises you descibed earlier. This would be quite helpful in helping to visualize and put into context what your describing.

Many thanks,

A.G.
Not to answer for Dan, but this is my personal take from experience and being a beginner. Videos won't help a new person at all. The only thing videos might accomplish is to jog the mental and muscle memory of a student who's already had some hands on training.

So, no, they aren't helpful at all, either with visuals (how do you get internal actions into a video?) or context (how do you get hands on feeling of this stuff into words?). I know that all sounds uncomforting, but unfortunately, it's the truth.

But, don't take just my word for it. Ask the others who have been there, too.
