👏🏻Fascia.👏🏻 What is it? Why is it important?
🫶🏻Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and bones in the body. It forms a network that helps to hold everything in place, providing structure and integrity. Fascia is made up of collagen, fibers, and other components, and it can be found throughout the body, from the surface of the skin to deep within muscle tissue.
🤸🏽Moving and maintaining physical activity is crucial for fascia for several reasons. First, movement helps to keep fascia flexible and hydrated, which can prevent it from becoming stiff or tight. When we move, the fascia can glide smoothly over muscles and other tissues, allowing for better range of motion and reducing the risk of injury.
🧘♀️Regular movement stimulates blood flow and circulation, which nourishes the fascia and promotes overall tissue health. It can also aid in reducing tension and pain that may accumulate in the fascia over time. Overall, engaging in a variety of movements—such as stretching, yoga, strength training, and aerobic activities—can help maintain the integrity and function of fascia, contributing to overall physical well-being.
