Getting this saddle ready for a big

This is a great read about fascia. Structural Integration assists in revitalizing fascia and returning it to its healthy and natural state. I have the work done on myself and it helped me recover from chronic pain resulting from injuries. It also helps me maintain healthy tissue. I go every 6 weeks for a session. Structural Integration also transforms horses! I’m still always amazed about the positive changes this hands on bodywork can achieve!

While we often describe fascia in relation to muscles, its role in the nervous system is equally vital. In fact, you could think of fascia as the skeleton of the nerves.

Here’s why:

Nerves must glide and slide with movement. Fascia, when healthy, allows this dynamic mobility. But when fascia becomes restricted, sticky, or dehydrated—through injury, overuse, or inflammation—it can tether nerves in place, causing tension, discomfort, or altered neural signals. Releasing fascial restrictions through massage, myofascial release, soft tissue mobilizations and nerve flossing can restore nerve freedom and function.
