Fascia Release

A completely new way of looking at the body.

New research shows that Fascia, a system of connective tissue, has a larger impact on health and well-being than was previously known. This has sparked a worldwide movement within the anatomical research field, with new ground breaking findings every year. Continuously innovating and developing new methods for Fascia release has become increasingly important.

What is Fascia? – Connective tissue in a system with no beginning and no end.

Have you heard about connective tissue? You know that thin layer around our muscles? New research shows that the connective tissue is more than that. It is a network without beginning or end, from the skin, through the entire body, to the smallest cell.

Figuratively speaking, every part of the body is enclosed in thin bags, known as connective tissue. These bags are in turn linked to each other in an extensive network, serving as the body’s backbone and keeping all parts in place.

The fascia has a vital importance for the slightest muscle movement, but also works when we remain still, as the immune system uses the network to keep us healthy. Additionally the fascia works to reduce pain during an accident. If you, for example, hurt your foot the body compensates by means of the fascia so that a portion of the blast is concentrated to the knee, thigh and sometimes the hip and lumbar spine. The compensation and the realization that everything is linked together becomes particularly interesting when you look at what happens during lock-ups and inflammation in the fascia.

Fascia is a network of connective tissue, without beginning or end, and it envelopes almost everything in the body – from muscles and the skeleton, to organs and cells.

Imagine the Fascia as a web of thousands of thin sewing threads that work alongside each other. If they stick together, which happens when we rest, problems may occur. To a certain level, the body can handle it, but not always.

Fascia that is stuck together affects mobility, and since there are six times more neurons in the Fascia than in muscles, lock-ups in the Fascia can be linked to pain in the lower back (among many other common afflictions). A “sick” fascia quickly becomes a vicious circle. Inflammation occurs, the flow of fluid and the immune system is affected – and the pain itself makes recovery more difficult.
