Discover the root cause to your pain…

 Are you tired of spending countless hours attempting to alleviate your pain with little to no success? Have you been to numerous doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists just to be told there is no explanation for your pain?

Well, you came to the right place!

What is Fascia?

Fascia is widely known across doctors, massage therapists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. However, this technique incorporates 3 vital components to restoring your fascia for rapid and long lasting results.  

You can think of fascia like plastic wrap. It wraps around every little thing in your body, including:

  • Muscles

  • Bones

  • Nerves

  • Blood vessels

  • Organs

  • Tendons

  • Ligaments

  • Joints

This “plastic wrap” holds the structure of your body together, which allows your muscles to contract and stretch. It provides a smooth surface for your muscles, joints, and organs to slide against each other without creating any friction or tears. It also protects nerve endings from being directly exposed.

When the fascial system becomes dehydrated everything becomes stagnant, toxins become trapped, and movement becomes stiff – resulting in pain. Since the fascial system is one interconnected, uninterrupted system, when one part of the system is affected it impacts the entire system. For example, unhealthy fascia, aka, “plastic wrap” will crinkle up into a ball which can pull the body out of alignment, cause muscle compensation, pinch nerves, restrict blood flow, and create pain. When we release these balls of “plastic wrap” it restores space and allows blood flow, hydration, and realigns your body. It creates the ideal condition for the body to realign and heal itself.

What Causes Fascia to Become Unhealthy?

  • Repetitive movements (overuse) Sports skills or every day work required movements

  • Lack of movement (underuse)

  • Stress! Internal state affects your external body

  • Trauma: either physical or emotions

  • Ignoring an issue and developing compensation patterns

3 Vital Components to Restoring Fascia:

  1. Compression and cross fibering:

    • Fascia release allows for deeper compression, access to a larger surface area, and intentional fascial shearing, resulting in long lasting change.

  2. Engagement of the nervous system:

    • The brain and fascial system are physically interconnected because fascia wraps around nerve ending which allows communication between the two systems. Your nervous system will turn off if it doesn’t feel safe. Often times when we experience pain, our nervous system turns off to protect us from exacerbating injury or re-injury. Engaging the nervous system in a safe manner allows the body to interrupt poor movement patterns and for the brain to learn you can access that range of motion safely.

  3. The site where you are experiencing pain is rarely the source of the problem:

    • Fascia release focuses on the root cause to your pain. When certain parts of our fascia are unhealthy, it creates pain and dysfunction in other areas of the body.

Unhealthy and Restricted Fascia Contributes To:

  • Tendonitis

  • Plantar fasciitis and foot pain

  • Low back pain and herniated discs

  • Knee pain

  • Plateaus in athletic performance

  • Pulled muscles

  • Upper back pain and rib pain

  • Shoulder pain

  • Neck pain and headaches

  • Exercise induced aches, pains, and stiffness

  • Carpal tunnel and hand numbness

  • Pinched nerves/nerve pain/sciatica

  • Hip pain

  • Overuse injuries (such as Golfer’s or Tennis Elbow, Runner’s Knee, shin splints, etc)

  • Limited range of motion

  • Aches and pains from pregnancy or postpartum

  • And more
