Your hormones are the architects of your collagen:
Estrogen: Speeds collagen synthesis, improves fascia elasticity.
Progesterone: Slows collagen but adds stability.
Cortisol (stress): Breaks down collagen + stiffens fascia.
Growth Hormone: Supports repair + remodeling.
Stress, sleep, and cycle phases all shift this balance. That’s why one week you may feel amazing in your fascia session, and another week you feel tighter or swollen.
👉 Fascia-focused bodywork helps balance these hormonal ebbs + flows so your collagen stays resilient.
