How to turn any stretch into a Myofascial Stretch

In this video, fascia educator Michelle Woodruff explains how to turn any traditional stretch into a fascial or myofascial stretch using body awareness, micro-movement, and breath. Most people are taught to stretch by forcing end-range positions, holding for long periods, or repeating a set number of reps. Fascial stretching works differently. It focuses on listening to the body, following subtle sensations, and allowing the fascial system to release naturally. Michelle demonstrates how to transform a simple calf stretch into a fascial stretch by: ✔️ Moving only to the first “something” (a subtle sensation in the body) ✔️ Using deep belly breathing instead of forcing the stretch ✔️ Progressing through small, controlled micro-movements ✔️ Releasing tension from the entire fascial system, not just one muscle A “something” might feel like a pull, resistance, tightness, nudge, or even a slight tingle—any signal that the fascia is responding. By stopping at each “something,” breathing, and moving gradually, the body releases tension more efficiently and with less effort. Michelle explains why just three “somethings” is enough to create noticeable improvements in mobility—and why pushing beyond that is unnecessary. This technique can be applied to: Calf stretches Neck mobility Hip and leg flexibility Any movement or stretch you already do Because fascia is a whole-body, interconnected system, releasing it in one area improves movement everywhere.
