🕸 FASCIA THAT BINDS US🕸
The Fascia Research Society states, “Fascia is the most pervasive, but perhaps least understood network of the human body. No longer considered the ‘scraps’ of cadaver dissections, fascia has now attracted the attention of scientists and clinicians alike.”
Fascia is a web of connective tissue formed in bands that wraps around all the internal parts of the body from head to toe and fuses it all together. 🕸
It allows the muscles to move freely alongside other structures and reduces friction. 💃
It can be found immediately beneath the skin, around muscles, groups of muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, organs and cells. 👍
Fascia is everywhere! Biologically, it’s what holds us together. 💪
The fascial system maintains a balance of tension and elasticity which allows for smooth, unrestricted movement of each muscle group while holding everything in place.
Since there is one singular piece of this stretchy, mesh-like substance interweaving through muscles and organs from head to toe like shrink-wrap, distress in one area can affect movement and create symptoms elsewhere.
So, if the fascia is restricted then muscle contraction may also be restricted.
Do you think you have fascial restrictions keeping your body from moving free and without pain? Reach out and let me know.
