Fascia means a whole new way of understanding the body, symptoms and causes
Research in recent years shows that fascia is much more important for health, aches and pains than we previously thought.
Fascia is a network of connective tissue, without beginning and end, that encloses everything in the entire body, from muscles and bones, to organs and cells.
The fascia accounts for more than a third of the musculoskeletal system, this is where most of our pain receptors are located and almost all communication in the body goes through the fascia.
If the fascia is damaged, sticks together or becomes inflamed, we get pain, difficulty moving and our ability to recover becomes poorer.
Fascia is affected by age, genotype, diseases, medication, diet, social stress, sleep, air pollution and psychological stress, among other things.
One could argue that anyone who lives a modern lifestyle with sedentary work and nutrient-poor food would benefit from regular fascia treatment.
