Tecar Therapy is one of our most soothing tools for โœ”๏ธ calming irritated tissue, โœ”๏ธ improving mobility, and โœ”๏ธ helping the body feel grounded again.

Itโ€™s gentle radiofrequency warmth supports recovery from the inside out โ€” especially for patients with hypermobility, EDS, or anyone who needs a softer, fascia-friendly approach.

Think of it as deep, restorative warmth that helps your body exhale.

If tightness, stiffness, or long-standing tension has been slowing you down, Shockwave Therapy can help you get back to moving the way youโ€™re meant to โ€” freely and without that constant โ€œpullโ€ your body has been carrying.

Shockwave uses focused acoustic energy to wake up circulation, soften stubborn tissue, and support your bodyโ€™s natural recovery process. Patients often describe it as the moment their body finally lets go.

And this month, weโ€™re making it even easier to put your healing first.

๐Ÿงฌ Myth vs. Fact โ€“ Methylation & Fascia Health

โŒ MYTH:
If I stretch, hydrate, and eat clean, my fascia will stay healthy.

โœ… FACT:
If your methylation pathways arenโ€™t working properly, your fascia may still be inflamed, dehydrated, or slow to healโ€”no matter how well you take care of it.

Methylation impacts:
โœ”๏ธ Tissue repair
โœ”๏ธ Inflammation control
โœ”๏ธ Collagen production
โœ”๏ธ Cell detoxification

At FIT, we use lab and genetic testing to assess your methylation and design personalized plans that support fascia healing from the inside out.

Because optimal recovery takes more than movement. It takes molecular balance.

Ever notice that soreness sticks around longer than it should?
For people with hypermobility, that post-workout ache isnโ€™t just muscle fatigue โ€” itโ€™s often fascial strain.

When fascia becomes overstretched or too lax, it loses the tension and elasticity needed to rebound properly. That means:
โšก Micro-tears take longer to heal
๐Ÿ”ฅ Inflammation lingers
๐Ÿ’ค Recovery slows down

Over time, this can lead to chronic soreness, fatigue, or pain after even mild activity.

๐Ÿง  Understanding how fascia supports โ€” and sometimes overstretches โ€” in hypermobile bodies is key to recovering smarter, not harder.

Brother Martin High School and Cornell grad Noah Labbe felt that all-too-familiar pop โ€” a hamstring tear that couldโ€™ve kept him off the field for months.

Instead? Thanks to Dr. Jacques Courseault's Hydrofascial Releaseโ„ข at FIT, he was back playing within a week during his college football career.

This real-time fascia treatment restores movement, relieves pain, and helps athletes recover faster than traditional methods.

Noahโ€™s story is a powerful reminder of how targeted therapy can get athletes back to peak performance โ€” fast. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Special thanks to WWLTV and Meg Farris for highlighting this innovative recovery.

At the 2025 ACAP Medical Symposium, Orsula Staka, Director of Business Operations at The Fascia Institute and Treatment Center, shared a powerful look at how alcohol quietly impacts performance โ€” from reaction time and sleep to recovery and resilience.

Her message? Even small amounts can create a โ€œperformance hangover,โ€ cutting REM sleep and slowing recovery. But awareness and balance are key to making smarter choices that protect your goals โ€” and your health.
โ€œNo safe dose exists for cognitive performance.โ€ โ€” NEJM, 2025

Body feeling a little stiffer as the weather cools? Youโ€™re not imagining it โ€” when temperatures drop, circulation slows, and fascia (your bodyโ€™s connective tissue network) can lose hydration and elasticity.

The good news: small, consistent habits keep your body flexible and moving with ease through every season.

โœจ Your Fall Flexibility Checklist:

โ— Warm up before movement ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ
โ— Hydrate often โ€” fascia needs water to glide smoothly ๐Ÿ’ง
โ— Move mindfully and stretch gently ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ
โ— Prioritize quality sleep ๐ŸŒ™
โ— Book fascia-focused treatments to boost circulation ๐Ÿ’™

Your body moves through seasons โ€” let your care move with it.
