When it comes to pain, stiffness, or slow recovery, one of the smallest systems in your body has the biggest impact: microcirculation.

This network of tiny vessels delivers oxygen and nutrients to your cells while clearing waste. Because fascia relies on hydration and constant flow, healthy microcirculation is essential for ease of movement.

When circulation slows, fascia can become dry, sticky, and irritated — showing up as tension, heaviness, chronic discomfort, or slow healing after activity.

𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁:
• Persistent muscle or joint discomfort
• Cold hands or feet
• Slow recovery after exertion
• Tightness despite stretching
• Swelling or “heavy” limbs

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗜𝗧 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Treatments like Tecar Therapy and Hydrofascial Release™ help promote microvascular activity, lymphatic flow, and tissue hydration. This supports the body’s natural ability to repair and helps fascia glide more comfortably.

Improving microcirculation isn’t just about easing symptoms — it’s about restoring the internal conditions your body needs to heal.

A special clinic visit 🤍

Dr. Courseault’s daughter joined him at the clinic as she gets ready to celebrate her third birthday! 🎂 It was a sweet day shared between father and daughter, and a reminder that behind the work we do every day are family, love, and the people who inspire us most.

At FIT, we’re proud to carry that same care, dedication, and heart to every patient.

Pain, stiffness, and instability don’t show up the same way in every body.
But one thing connects us all: fascia.

Fascia is the connective tissue that helps transmit force, coordinate movement, and provide support throughout the body. When it becomes dehydrated, overloaded, or disorganized, the body compensates — often with pain, fatigue, or loss of confidence in movement.

At FIT, our care starts with understanding how your tissue behaves. Through advanced evaluation and fascia-focused care, we support patients across the spectrum — from everyday aches to complex conditions, including hypermobility and EDS.

Because lasting relief isn’t about forcing change.
It’s about restoring communication, support, and trust within the body.

This article explores how fascia-focused care supports stability, movement, and long-term tissue health — helping patients move forward with more confidence and clarity.

Winter doesn’t just change the weather, it changes how your fascia feels. ❄️

Cold temps, travel days, stress, and long stretches of sitting can tighten tissue, slow circulation, and make flare-ups more common. That’s why simple winter self-care habits matter more than ever.

If your body has been feeling stiff, overloaded, or “one step away” from a flare, Tecar Therapy can help you reset. It supports microcirculation, rehydrates fascia, and calms irritated nerves giving your tissue the warmth and recovery it needs this season.

✨ Holiday Special — Now through December 31:
