Fascial Stretch

ASSISTED FASCIAL STRETCH

fas·ci·a /ˈfash-(ē-)ə/ noun

Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds & holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber & muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. Fascia is 6-10 times more sensitive than muscle tissue. When stressed, fascia tightens up!

Assisted fascial stretch is provided in a table format that works by using traction to move joints & surrounding tissue to help muscles and connective tissue simultaneously relax. This may be provided with or without PNF, IASTM & cupping.

Fascial stretch focuses on restricted movement in all planes of motion to maximize flexibility while using mild pressure.

Releasing fascial restrictions helps to:

- Improve flexibility, range of motion, posture, muscle function, and sleep

- Enhance athletic performance and muscle recovery

- Accelerate injury recovery by breaking up scar issue

- Reduce/eliminate pain and soreness

- Increase blood flow
