Episode 52 - From Fixing to Facilitating: A Therapist’s Journey into True Healing with Kim Fuller
What if healing isn’t about fixing people, but creating the conditions for transformation to occur?
In this thought-provoking episode of the Myofascial Health Podcast, host Unu sits down with veteran physical therapist and Myofascial Release practitioner Kim Fuller to explore the evolution of her healing philosophy after more than four decades in healthcare. Known by some as the “Voodoo Therapist,” Kim shares how her journey led her away from forceful treatment techniques and toward a more intuitive, patient-centered approach rooted in observation, presence, and trust.
Together, they discuss the challenges therapists face when working under the pressure of time, the importance of detaching from outcomes, and why true healing often requires stepping back to see the bigger picture. Kim offers powerful insights on movement patterns, nervous system regulation, communication styles, and the subtle art of helping patients recognize the habits that may be contributing to their pain.
This conversation goes far beyond physical therapy. It explores what it means to be human, how we relate to ourselves and others, and why healing often begins when we stop trying to control every outcome. Whether you are a healthcare provider, Myofascial Release therapist, or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode is filled with wisdom, humility, and practical insights that will leave you seeing pain, recovery, and personal growth through a new lens.
