Feel Like Your Body is Getting Older?
For some people, adhesions(knots) can worsen over time, causing the Fascia to compress and contort the muscles it surrounds. As these adhesions tighten and constrict, they can create a web of tension within the body, leading to the formation of hard, tender knots known as trigger points.
These trigger points become the source of pain experienced during movement. What can happen is that the pain doesn't always stay confined to the area of the trigger point; it can radiate to seemingly unrelated parts of the body, a phenomenon known as referred pain. Such interconnectedness emphasizes the crucial role that the Fascia plays in maintaining the overall health and harmony of our entire musculoskeletal system.
Massage can greatly improve the health of our fascia and muscles by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation. Massage and Myofascial techniques can smooth out and loosen this harden fascia to help reduce discomfort and prevent further injuries and muscle pain.
What is Fascia?
Fascia, a remarkable and intricate network of connective tissue, envelops and supports vital elements within our bodies. It acts as a protective sheath, embracing each organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle, ensuring their proper positioning and interplay. Far from being a mere structural component, fascia possesses its own intricate nervous system, making it astonishingly sensitive, akin to the responsiveness of our skin. Our bodies are amazing at adapting to stress. When we're stressed, our fascia tightens up to protect our inner balance and well-being.
