Fascia! What is it you ask? And why is it so important? What is fascia? Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up. What are symptoms of tight fascia?
•Deep, aching pain in a muscle.
•Pain that persists or worsens.
• A tender knot in a muscle.
• Difficulty sleeping due to pain. One of the treatments I use to help release fascia is cupping therapy. Cupping therapy has been used for centuries across the different continents for healing. This therapy involves the using of warm suction glass jars on an oiled body as a therapeutic massage system, designed to treat a wide range of physical problems from pain and muscle spasms to cellulite, colds and flu.
Oil is applied to the body with massage strokes to loosen up the tissue; the cups are then applied over the oil on the part of the body to be treated, then the cups are moved in particular ways to produce a hot deeply healing, stimulating and drawing massage.
The cups are warmed and applied to the body by creating a vacuum. The suction and warmth have a dramatic effect on the immune system of the body by moving blood and lymph and stimulating the fascia, muscle and spinal nerves. If you want to know more or to book this treatment. Then just drop me a dm or book online.
