what is "FASCIA?"

“Moira, your epidermis is showing!”  My sister used to tease me about this all the time when I was young….😳

But, if you could peek beneath your epidermis, you’d first see FASCIA  — a mesh-like substance that interweaves through and around your musculature and bones, supports your organs, and shrink-wraps your entire internal structure like a second skin.

It’s all about the FASCIA, my friends….

The fascial system consists of the three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose, and dense fibrous connective tissues that permeate the body.

It interpenetrates and surrounds all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers, endowing the body with a functional structure, and providing an environment that enables all body systems to operate in an integrated manner.

Bones, joints, muscles & nerves all have the potential to shift
from the fascia tightening.  

Feeling tight or achy and sore from sitting at the desk all day?
It's actually the FASCIA constricting the muscles! 

Our everyday habits affect the human movement system more than people realize….these repetitive postural imbalances are quite simply, "life."  

GESTURE becomes HABIT becomes POSTURE becomes STRUCTURE

This affects:

MUSCLE PATTERNS

BALANCE

STABILITY

So, what can you do?

STEP #1 ——  loosen up the tightness...use a foam roller for example

STEP #2 —— work the opposing muscle groups to achieve balance, toward the center of gravity, & ultimately, gain more flexibility & improve posture & stay OUT OF PAIN.”

STEP #3—-STRETCH!

A really good trainer can do a postural assessment and offer recommendations about what you can do to stay fit, loose,
SO THAT you feel fabulous!!!
