30. Focusing on Fascia with Jill Miller

Jill Miller shares her personal journey of dealing with end-stage osteoarthritis in her 40s and how it led her to explore the role of fascia in healthy movement, particularly for individuals with hypermobility. She explains what fascia is—a connective tissue that integrates all parts of the body and plays an essential role in proprioception and interoception. Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding fascia for those with hypermobile bodies, as tears and damage in connective tissues can be challenging to repair. Moreover, she advocates for strategies to manage and maintain movement health through fascial work. She discusses her book “The Roll Model,” which outlines her approach to self-care fitness using tools to improve mobility and relieve pain, underscoring fascia’s role in physical resilience. Her work seeks to shift the focus from overstretching to foster healthy, sustainable movement habits, particularly in hypermobile individuals.
