The Daily Check-In: Your Fascial Web Depends on It

Updated: Jul 7

Boost Your Well-Being with Daily Check-Ins


What you do every day shapes your Fascial Web. By mixing things up—both physically and emotionally—you give yourself a better shot at keeping it healthy. Repeating the same movement patterns or moods can lead to tension, imbalance, and eventually, pain.


Let’s save the emotional side of fascia for another post. But don’t ignore it. Your mood matters more than you think when it comes to healing.


Staying Active While Managing Your Life


Lately, people have been asking me how I stay active and pain-free while juggling work, hiking, golf, and more. So here’s what I do.


Match Your Warm-Up to Your Day


Every day starts with intention. If I’m playing golf, I focus on the areas where I tend to hold tension. On my rest days, I concentrate on strengthening weak spots. When I’m working, my attention shifts to my hands, neck, and shoulders. If I’m not working that day, I may focus more on my legs.


When my energy is low, I might skip movement altogether and take ten minutes to meditate. The key is to listen to what your body needs and respond accordingly.


The One Tool I Never Skip


The treatment ball I give my clients? I use it too. Every day. It’s not about "fixing" anything; it’s about checking in. This daily scan helps me understand what’s going on—where I’m holding tension, what areas feel off, and when I need to slow down.


Here’s the truth: your body is always sending signals. Headaches, tight shoulders, and low back pain are just a few examples. However, we often ignore these signals in the name of productivity. We push through until we crash. That’s when we find ourselves needing time off or, worse, surgery.


Daily Check-Ins: An Essential Routine


You don’t have to wait until things get bad. You just need to check in daily. A commitment of thirty minutes with a therapy ball can help you:


  • Identify and release tension

  • Improve your mood and energy levels

  • Prevent injury and pain

  • Enhance your sleep quality

  • Possibly even avoid surgery


Benefits of a Routine Check-In


Emotional and Physical Health Connection


When we prioritize daily check-ins, we elevate both our emotional and physical health. By being in tune with our bodies, we can better address issues before they evolve into bigger problems.


Create Better Movement Patterns


Mixing up your routines can prevent the monotony that leads to tension. You are much less likely to become rigid if you incorporate various movements. This not only maintains a flexible body but also keeps your mind agile.


Build a Stronger Mind-Body Connection


A daily check-in reinforces the relationship between your mind and body. When you slow down and focus on how you feel, you foster a healthier bond between physicality and emotional well-being. This connection is crucial for holistic healing.


Want Help Getting Started?


I’ve created a new session you can book right now: 30 minutes of guided therapy ball practice plus 30 minutes of hands-on Myofascial Release—all for $85.


This session is designed to reconnect you with your body and help you develop a routine that supports your healing. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded.


Take Action!


It’s your move. Give yourself the space to heal—one check-in at a time. Remember, your emotional health ties directly into your physical well-being. Make it a point to engage in activities that promote both.


Every check-in reinforces your health journey. Don't miss out on the chance to prioritize your well-being!
