Callum Davison — Professional Golfer ⛳

Years of shoulder pain that wouldn’t let go.
Practice sessions cut short.

And no clear answers — no matter who he saw.
There was even that moment at 1:00 a.m. when it felt like the dream might be slipping away.

When Callum came to FIT, he didn’t need another temporary fix — he needed someone to truly listen and look deeper.
Dr. Jacques Courseault and the FIT team took a fascia-focused approach, addressing not just the shoulder, but the movement patterns, load management, and compensations underneath it all.

Within three to four treatments, real improvement began. With consistent care, progress kept building.

Today, Callum is back to playing full-time — pain-free and practicing as much as he wants.

This is what happens when care goes beyond symptoms and treats the system as a whole.

As we close out 2025, we’re grateful for the patients, athletes, families, and clinicians who trusted us with their care this year. Your progress, your stories, and your resilience continue to shape the work we do every day.

This year brought meaningful steps forward for FIT — new treatment innovations, expanded support for complex fascia-related conditions, growth in our athlete care programs, and the continued development of our FIT Los Angeles clinic experience. We witnessed breakthroughs in stability, pain reduction, recovery, and performance across our entire community.

And we’re just getting started.

In 2026, we’re looking forward to even more: new services, expanded locations, deeper education for patients and providers, and fresh ways to bring fascia-focused care to the people who need it most.

Thank you for being part of the FIT family.
Here’s to a year of movement, healing, and possibility.

Pain, stiffness, and instability don’t show up the same way in every body.
But one thing connects us all: fascia.

Fascia is the connective tissue that helps transmit force, coordinate movement, and provide support throughout the body. When it becomes dehydrated, overloaded, or disorganized, the body compensates — often with pain, fatigue, or loss of confidence in movement.

At FIT, our care starts with understanding how your tissue behaves. Through advanced evaluation and fascia-focused care, we support patients across the spectrum — from everyday aches to complex conditions, including hypermobility and EDS.

Because lasting relief isn’t about forcing change.
It’s about restoring communication, support, and trust within the body.

This article explores how fascia-focused care supports stability, movement, and long-term tissue health — helping patients move forward with more confidence and clarity.

Thank you for being part of the FIT family.

Wishing you a restorative and peaceful holiday. 🌲

Playing at the highest level takes more than talent — it takes durability.

Theresa Plaisance is proof of that. A WNBA champion, LSU standout, and international pro, she’s spent over a decade competing against the best in the world. Her secret to staying in the game? Making recovery as important as training.

At FIT Elite Performance Group, we share that philosophy. We build the same foundation for every athlete — recovery routines, advanced performance care, and a plan designed to protect your career for the long haul.

Because being elite isn’t about one season — it’s about every season. http://www.fiteliteperformance.com

Winter doesn’t just change the weather, it changes how your fascia feels. ❄️

Cold temps, travel days, stress, and long stretches of sitting can tighten tissue, slow circulation, and make flare-ups more common. That’s why simple winter self-care habits matter more than ever.

If your body has been feeling stiff, overloaded, or “one step away” from a flare, Tecar Therapy can help you reset. It supports microcirculation, rehydrates fascia, and calms irritated nerves giving your tissue the warmth and recovery it needs this season.

✨ Holiday Special — Now through December 31:
Purchase a $400 Shockwave + Tecar Therapy credit and receive a $100 bonus value.

Give your fascia a reset and start moving with more ease: https://fasciainstitute.org/holiday-shockwave-tecar-therapy-offer/

If pain keeps coming back or never fully leaves, it doesn’t mean you’re broken or doing something wrong.

Often, the issue isn’t effort. It’s communication.

When fascia or soft tissue becomes irritated, overloaded, or dehydrated, it can stop responding to the usual inputs like rest, stretching, or strengthening. The body is still protecting the area. It just doesn’t know how to move forward.

Shockwave Therapy delivers a focused mechanical signal that helps “wake up” tissue that’s been stuck in a protective loop, improving circulation and creating the conditions needed for healing to restart.

At FIT, Shockwave is always guided by evaluation and used as part of a fascia-focused care plan — not as a quick fix, but as a way to help the body re-engage.

When pain isn’t moving… sometimes your tissue needs a stronger signal.

Shockwave Therapy delivers focused sound waves that help break up stubborn restrictions, reduce irritation, and “wake up” areas that aren’t healing on their own. For chronic tendon issues, overuse injuries, and fascial tightness that keeps coming back, Shockwave can help your body finally respond.
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of stiffness or flare-ups, this may be the shift your tissue needs.

Purchase a $400 Shockwave credit and receive a $100 bonus value.
