Do you wake up in the morning feeling stiff and tight? Maybe you can feel specific areas of tightness and inflexibility? It could be caused by the connective tissue, fascia; and if so, this video is for you.
Fascia is a dense connective tissue found throughout your body. It’s like a three-dimensional web encasing and supporting your muscles, organs, nerves, and blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, transmitting forces, and providing a pathway for communication between different body parts.
Fascia isn't a single entity, however. There are multiple layers - from superficial fascia found just beneath your skin, to deep fascia surrounding your muscles and bones, and then visceral fascia enveloping your organs. Each type has unique properties and functions, collectively contributing to your body's stability, flexibility, and overall wellbeing.
Fascia differs from muscles and other connective tissues in that it’s very smart with many times more sensory nerve endings, making it almost as sensitive as skin to stretching, strain, heat, and injury. As a result, it’s really important to keep your fascia healthy and mobile.
In this video, I’ll reveal more about fascia and why it’s so important, the types of exercise that will keep it strong and healthy, as well as some fascia-friendly nutrients to add to your diet. Let’s get started!

We lubricate fascia when we exercise. If we don't move the fascia dries out creating adhesions . Movement is medicine and motion is lotion folks. Keep moving

00:00 🧠 Fascia is a connective tissue that wraps around and through muscles, giving them shape and form. 01:51 💡 Fascia is different from muscles but is interconnected with them and has numerous sensory nerves. 03:07 🍊 Fascia holds everything in your body together, like the pith in an orange, and has a wavy fiber pattern for elasticity. 04:51 🤸‍♀ You can't stretch fascia, but you can remodel and shape it through exercise. 06:10 🧘‍♂ Fascia cannot be worked on separately from muscles; they function as a single unit. 08:27 🚶‍♀ To maintain fascial health, work in different planes of motion: sagittal, coronal, and transverse. 09:47 🥦 Proper nutrition, including vitamin C, zinc, copper, sulfur-rich foods, and protein, is essential for fascia health. 11:08 💤 Magnesium and omega-3 supplements can help relax muscles and reduce inflammation, benefiting fascia health. Understanding and caring for fascia involves recognizing its role in the body and addressing both muscles and fascia together.

I have connective tissue disorder and this past year I corrected some cellular deficiencies and took amino acid supplement as I was highly deficient despite adequate protein in my diet. Deficiencies came from severe chronic illness so it took a while to correct but since adding the amino acids my joints are SO much more stable and my facia pain so much better too!
