Excellent article as always
My article on fascia bands
https://garysharpe.substack.com/p/a-vital-role-of-fascia-in-health
Excerpts: "These bands denote places on the body where the adipose tissue/subcutaneous fat layer is thin, and where there is little fascia between the skin and bone. They hence represent areas where the fascia tends to easily adhere to bone, so that the skin can become seemingly "superglued" down to it. Hence these areas are prone to cause restrictions to various flows, pressurizations, pulsations, and signals. They may be places where the nerves and arteries which pass through the narrowed spaces could get compressed. They are likely primary “real estate” where body memories of stressful episodes get written, and where heavy metals and toxin get trapped and sequestered.
Since we know that fascia stiffens, contracts and dehydrates when we are stressed, so stress will tend to make these bands tighter (like a drawstring bag) and even more restrictive, thus making any symptoms associated with them being too tight even worse."
