WHAT IS FASCIA?

"Fascia" refers to the connective tissue that covers and supports your entire body.  The stringy, spider web-like tissue is densely woven throughout your muscles, bones, nerves, arteries, veins and organs.  Every part of your body is connected to it in some way.  That's why if there is a snag in the tissue in one part of your body, it can cause pain in another part of your body.

FASCIAL DYSFUNCTION

Normally, fascia is flexible and stretchy yet strong, providing structural support to your entire body.  Fascia is usually able to move without any restrictions.  When your body experiences any kind of trauma (this can be physical trauma but also includes mental/emotional trauma as well) your fascia may lose its flexibility.  It becomes tightened and more rigid.  This tightness can lead to pain and loss if motion. which can affect your quality of life.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Tension release and integration therapies for muscle and fascial tissue may help anyone who has tightness, pain, or restricted movement.  

Myofascial release and integration may benefit people who have experienced:

  • Physical trauma​

  • Mental or emotional trauma  (PTSD)

  • Posture dysfunction

  • Scarring

  • Compressed nerves

  • Repetitive stress injuries
