The fascia within the body is the resilient connective tissue that holds us together. It has been described as three-dimensional body stocking or web that envelopes each and every structure of the body, from the microscopic nerve to the largest bone, both has their own fascial sheath. If there was a magical substance that could dissolve all parts of the body except the fascia, what would remain would be a complete representation of the body including the expression of the face.

In a normal, healthy and hydrated state, the fascia has the ability to move without restriction. However, due to our general lifestyle, such as postural imbalances, accidents, emotional trauma or repetitive strain injuries, it is common for the fascia to develop restrictions. Therefore, as fascia is an entirely continuous throughout the body, a tear/scarring of the tissue will affect other parts within the body.

Fascial techniques can successfully be used to treat acute and chronic pain, fibromyalgia, ME, pelvis and menstrual problems, IBS, headaches, migraines and sports injuries, the list goes on..! Myofascial Release encompasses many techniques that primarily focus on the fascia, namely Rolfing or Structural Integration (SI), Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy.
