Reset your life in 28 days
It all begins with a commitment to 28 days of Fascial Maneuvers. A movement process created to access the body’s most powerful organ, the fascia. Over our 10 years in clinical practice we found all trauma is held in the fascia and can be released through simple self-help techniques. This 28 day journey will guide you through the process of how we reset and transformed our own lives, so you can too.

Your fascia may be your most misunderstood organ.
Once thought of just as a dumb fibrous mesh, not worthy of any study, fascia is now known to be a highly adaptive, fluid, jelly-like, biological supercomputer with one thousand times more nerve endings than the human brain – Yes, you heard that right, fascia has more nerve endings than the human brain. In fact, we are fascia! Our vital organs, bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and glands all live in an intricate fascial network that begins forming during fetal development.
The way we see it, all information received by the body goes through the Fascia first where it is processed before the brain can react. Each calculation is precise and uses chemical, mechanical, metabolic, emotional and perceptual input in the decision making process.
Fascia is notorious for holding stress and trauma. That means when someone says something that hurts you, your fascia responds and the body tightens. Later, you find out what they said was wrong, your emotions and perceptions change immediately, and the body loosens. When you step on a piece of glass, mechanical information is received by the fascia in the foot, processes, and the entire body moves instantaneously and intelligently away from danger in a coordinated fashion. When your digestive system isn’t working, the fascia signals the rest of the body to compensate in the most effective, least damaging way possible. In every circumstance, each calculation is done carefully and meticulously by the fascial-supercomputer to produce the most optimal solution for the body to function.
We believe by interfering with the bodies well-thought-out adaptation and compensation patterns, we are creating more problems long term. We have found that by reducing the global stress in the fascia, the body begins to naturally function and perform optimally. Our method of communicating with the body on a fascial level reduces stress, improves mobility and enhances performance in ways we never thought possible.
Human Garage is continually discovering new things about the fascia and how to better work with it and we share what we find with our community. We are a living lab of biohackers and lifestyle artists on a mission to help people heal themselves.
Testimonials
GOODBYE CANE, HELLO ME:
Feels like I am a little kid again, a homecoming back into my body. I have a sensation of wholeness. What once felt like I was dragging and forcing my body into movement is absent! A couple of weeks ago I was using a cane. I struggled to coordinate with it but had accepted that it may be my companion. At the end of a Fascial Maneuvers class I could slowly walk on my own two feet again. It was miraculous.

LESS TENSION IN MY BODY
I have started doing these exercises for a week now and I already feel a lot less tension in my body. I’m still trying to get the hang of them so I can do them on a more consistent basis. I’m excited to learn more about this!

I DON’T NEED MY ROLFER ANY MORE
The thing that I love about these fascial maneuvers is the fact that I can do them by myself and don’t have to rely on a rolfer to get the same results 🙂 The tension in my back has decreased dramatically already and I feel like I can breathe way deeper than before. It also just feels a whole lot better to work WITH my body after years of working against it.
