Why keep your fascia healthy?

WHAT IS FASCIA Fascia means “band” or “bundle” in Latin. It’s mostly made of collagen. Ideally, your fascia is healthy and therefore malleable enough to slide, glide, twist, and bend, pain-free. 

Fascia is the body’s connective tissue. It’s a head-to-toe, inside-to-out, all-encompassing, and interwoven system of fibrous connective tissue found throughout the body. Your fascia provides a framework that helps support and protect individual muscle groups, organs, and the entire body as a unit. It’s everywhere. Think about it like a bed sheet. If you pull the bottom of the sheet, it’s going to affect the placement of the top edge of the sheet, causing it to crinkle.
