What Is Fascia?
Fascia is a connective tissue that plays an important role in the support and function of our bodies and is one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption surrounding the muscles, organs, joints, blood vessels and more. When you experience physical trauma, scarring or inflammation, fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Traumas may include: falls, car accidents, whiplash, surgery, repetitive stress injuries or even habitual poor posture. Also, exercise and resistance training can produce fascial restrictions as a result of overuse and through the avoidance of training using your full range of motion.
The changes that trauma causes in the fascial system influences the function of our bodies. Fascial restrictions can exert excessive pressure causing all kinds of symptoms producing pain, headaches or restricted range of motion.
Fascial restrictions affect our flexibility and stability, and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities. Stretching fascia can improve the function and extensibility of our fascia, making it more elastic and flexible in order to move the way our bodies are intended to move.
