"We’ve long known that massage feels good. But what exactly it does to our tissues is an open question. One possibility is that compressing a muscle encourages the adhesions in your fascia to relax, explains Harvey.

It’s also a simple way to circulate some key fluids, like hyaluronic acid and lymph, he adds. When you press on a muscle, you force fluid out of the tissue, much like squeezing a sponge. As the muscle resumes its normal shape, fresh fluids rush in, hyd­rating and loosening the tissues.""

The health of this overlooked tissue affects not only your exercise routine but nearly every aspect of your life. It's time to give it the attention it deserves.
