What are Fascial Restrictions and How Are they Related to my Symptoms? |
Fascia in a healthy state is supple and elastic. Restrictions are created when the fluid "matrix" aspect of fascia solidifies as a result of physical injury, emotional stress or trauma, surgeries, repetitive strain or habitually poor posture. This is our body's attempt to protect and compensate. Unfortunately the result is often further restrictions, misalignment, and pain that are felt in other, often seemingly unrelated, areas of the body. This is because the the fascia is a continuous 3-dimensional web. With a strength of up to 2000 psi, these restrictions can also interfere with the function of vital organs, nerve conduction and circulation. Once you become familiar with the sense that "it is all connected", you won't be surprised to to find, for example, that a painful shoulder may be related to an old injury to your leg. |
Who would you be without the pain?
