What is Fascia?

Fascia, simply stated, is a thin sheet of fibrous tissue enclosing muscles and organs. There are 3 different types of Fascia and damage to any of these can cause long lasting injuries, pain, discomfort, more permanent damage, and will hinder your bodies range of motion. The human body is designed to move and develops in response to the overloads placed upon it. However, decreasing levels of physical activity coupled with muscular imbalances alters normal physiological functions within the neuromuscular systems. Basically, what this means is, damaged fascia causes pain. Pain causes our brains to retrain itself on how to use those specific muscles and joints, which can cause permanent damage and thus, more pain. When we damage the fascia around a joint, we begin to use that region differently in order to avoid pain. Our goal, is to use all of our available resources, knowledge, and techniques to ensure you get the right treatment for the job. Our treatments will begin to work with your Fascia, strengthen the muscles, and retrain your brain to use the damaged areas properly again. This is very important for us all.
