This wasn’t about strength.
It was about how the tissue was communicating.

Early imaging showed disrupted hamstring tissue and poor load tolerance—affecting how the body moved during daily activity. With a targeted approach, including PRP and Hydrofascial Release, restrictions reduced, tissue organization improved, and movement became smoother and more efficient.

Recovery isn’t just something you do after activity.
It’s part of how your body adapts—so walking, bending, and moving through your day feels easier and more supported.
Because lasting comfort and movement start at the tissue level.

If you or your clients experience hypermobility or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), post-exercise soreness may feel different—and last longer.

Research has shown that hypermobile individuals often experience 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱-𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 (𝗗𝗢𝗠𝗦) compared to non-hypermobile individuals. This isn’t just about training intensity—it’s about how connective tissue responds to load, recovers, and communicates with the nervous system.

That distinction matters for physical therapists, trainers, coaches, and anyone supporting hypermobile bodies. Recovery timelines, programming, and expectations often need to look different to support long-term movement and resilience.

We break down what the research tells us—and what it means in real life—in our blog:

Symptoms are often the result of compensation—not the original problem.

When fascia is restricted, circulation is altered, or movement patterns adapt over time, the body finds ways to keep going. Pain and dysfunction often appear downstream from where the issue began.

That’s why care at FIT starts with understanding the system as a whole—so treatment is precise, intentional, and built for lasting change.

Elite care. Real results.

Shaquille O’Neal received Hydrofascia Release (HFR) at The Fascia Institute and Treatment Center (FIT) to address neck mobility—and after just one session, he noticed a significant improvement.

That firsthand experience with fascia-focused care helped inspire the vision behind FIT Elite Performance Group, later co-founded by Shaquille O’Neal and Demario Davis, with a mission to bring pro-athlete–level health and performance support to elite performers everywhere.

At The Fascia Institute, Hydrofascia Release targets fascial adhesions—restrictions in the body’s connective tissue that can limit movement, create stiffness, and interfere with performance. By releasing these adhesions, HFR helps:

✨ Restore range of motion
✨ Reduce stiffness and discomfort
✨ Improve mobility and movement efficiency
✨ Support recovery and long-term performance

This is the same fascia-focused care trusted by professional athletes—now shaping how elite performers train, recover, and move.

On this day, we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.—a legacy built on courage, discipline, and unwavering purpose.

Progress doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s shaped through intention, preparation, and the willingness to do the work long before results are visible.

At FIT and FIT Elite, that belief lives in how we care for the body, educate athletes, and build systems that support longevity—not just moments.

Today is a reminder that lasting impact is created by those who commit to the long game.

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 Hydrofascia 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.
