SO WHAT EXACTLY IS FASCIA?
On a fundamental level, fascia functions as the cellophane wrap for every part of our internal body. Its primary objective? Firm yet flexible support while creating and maintaining the basic form and structure of the body. Moreover, your fascia promotes the smooth and pain-free movement of your tissues and organs by wrapping around your muscles to prevent friction as these structures shift against your bones.
However, accidents, abnormal posture, repetitive movements, overuse injuries, or inactivity can all lead to fascia damage. There is some good news though, fascia can heal itself. The problem with this? Fascia doesn’t typically heal in its original configuration. Instead of restoring to its previous flat and smooth texture, fascia may heal into a jumbled clump. Called fascial adhesion, fascia can literally stick to existing muscle or developing scar tissue. As fascia stiffens through adhesion, it can lead to a host of painful consequences. Likewise, fascial adhesion limits the independent motion and friction-reducing capabilities of fascia. This leads to muscles that cramp and spasm, as well as nerves that consistently misfire.
BIOSYNCHRONISTICS is a manual therapy technique to release fascial adhesions and provide the body with more balance, freedom of movement, and freedom from pain.
