How Fascia Supports the Body

1. Structural Support
Fascia acts like a 3D scaffolding
It keeps muscles and organs in place
Helps maintain posture and alignment
Without fascia, muscles would lose shape and stability.

2. Force Transmission (Movement Efficiency)
Muscles don’t work alone—fascia helps transfer force
When you move, force travels through fascial chains
This makes movement smoother and more efficient
Example: When you walk, fascia helps connect your legs, hips, and spine into one coordinated motion.

3. Movement & Sliding
Healthy fascia:
Is hydrated
Slides easily between muscles and layers

When fascia becomes stiff or sticky:
Movement feels restricted
You may feel tightness or reduced range of motion

4. Sensory Function
Fascia contains many sensory receptors, including
Pressure sensors
Stretch sensors
Pain receptors

This means fascia plays a big role in:
Body awareness (proprioception)
Pain perception

That’s why fascial tension can feel uncomfortable even if the muscle itself is fine.

5. Adaptation & Remodeling
Fascia changes based on how you use your body:
Regular movement → fascia stays elastic
Repetitive stress or inactivity → fascia thickens and stiffens

It adapts slowly, which is why consistent movement and recovery matter.

Yay!!

Psssst… WE MOVED!! 🎉

Many of you have spotted our new location while driving by, and now it’s official, we’re IN! We’ve had so many people ask when the move would happen, and honestly… we didn’t even know ourselves. Between plumbing, electrical work, and my husband’s work schedule (he did most of the hard stuff, bless him!!), it was a bit of a waiting game.

Thanks to our winter break, we were finally able to buckle down and make it happen & we are SO excited to welcome you into our new space!

Even better? We are now sharing space with our daycare, training, and boarding facility, making us your one-stop shop for everything! 🐾

📍 Where is our new location?
We’re less than 4 miles away from our old location at
2822 Old U.S. 20 W, Elkhart

We share a driveway with Boling Vision Center. For grooming appointments, please park behind the building and enter through the doors with the large sign on them, you can’t miss it!

‼️All grooming appointments will officially be at our new location‼️

We can’t wait to see you and your pups in our new home! 💕🐶

I wanted to wish all of you A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I am so greatful for all of my clients. Without you, this year wouldn't have been possible for me to expand my knowledge. My goal was to do 2 a year and 2025 I did 6 different courses/clinics to add to my toolbox in order to serve you better!
The mini donkeys and I wish you a magical Christmas!

Found this on Pinterest.

I absolutely love this drawing.

For a better understanding, this drawing shows that the whole body is connected. If your hip is imbalanced, compensation will appear in the shoulder/neck area. Notice how all if the lines come together at the C2 region?

Yes!!! This goes for any mammal!!
