Ever stand up after sitting too long and feel your whole body protest?
Or wake up so stiff you need a few seconds before moving?
That might not be your muscles.
It might be your fascia.
✨ Fascia tightness = whole-body stiffness, improves with movement & heat, hard to pinpoint
✨ Muscle tightness = easy to locate, recreates pain, often from overuse
When your fascia is tight, it can pull on your muscles and restrict your movement , like wearing a T-shirt that’s way too tight.
Fascia stretch: gentle hold for 2–3 mins
Muscle stretch: 30–60 secs
Move better. Feel better.
Every body is unique. If you’re unsure whether your tightness comes from fascia or muscle, Integrative Remedial Massage are here for you.
