Fast Fascia Facts

rosedalewellness • February 19, 2018

Did you know that our muscles, bones, and organs are covered by a net or web-like “suit” full of nerves called FASCIA (FA-SHA)?

 

By releasing your fascia, your body also releases endorphins-so you feel GREAT after a good stretch!
Our mobility is determined by how well-hydrated our fascia is–the more you move it, the more supple it becomes

 

Fascia holds 6-10x more sensory nerve receptors than the muscles, making it almost as good as your eyes at detecting where your body is in space!
TRY THIS: Stand on one foot and close your eyes. You might feel wobbly in your foot & lower leg. This is called Proprioception and it is your fascia that surrounds these muscles telling your body where it is in space.

 

Want to train your fascia? Book an appointment to get Fascial Stretch Therapy with one of our Kinesiologists today!
