Discover the Power of Fascia for Optimal Health and Wellness

Did you know that most chronic pain is not muscular?

Fascia is a type of connective tissue that is around and within our muscles that can cause lingering pain.

The fascia is a thin, web-like tissue that surrounds and connects all of the structures in your body, including your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It helps to keep everything in place and allows your body to move smoothly.

When the fascia becomes restricted, it can cause pain, decreased range of motion, and other problems. Fascial restrictions can be caused by a number of things, including:

Causes of Fascial Restrictions

  • Lack of Movement

    Your body is designed to move! A lack of movement can make the fascia less pliable and more likely to become restricted.

  • Stress

    Stress can cause the muscles to contract and tighten. This can put stress on the fascia and lead to restrictions

  • Poor Posture

    Poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances disrupting the body's natural alignment which can also contribute to fascial restrictions.

The course that will introduce you to the fascia system and how it affects your health, pain, and movement.

Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in your body. It's responsible for giving your body its shape and structure, and it plays a role in everything from movement to posture to pain.

But until recently, fascia has been largely ignored by the medical community. This is starting to change, as scientists and healthcare practitioners are beginning to realize the importance of fascia in health and well-being.

If you're suffering from pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion, it's possible that your fascia is to blame. Fascia can become tight and restricted, which can lead to pain and discomfort. It can also restrict blood flow and oxygen to the muscles, which can make pain worse.
