What is Fascia

Fascia is a network of layered connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones and joints. A joint capsule is also a connective tissue structure that surrounds joints and is involved in optimizing the mechanical function of the joint as well as gives it nutrients. When the fascia and joint capsules are restricted it can cause:

• Decreased joint space which can lead to degenerative joint diseases and osteoarthritis

• Increased muscle tone which can lead to trigger points, strains, tendonitis and tears

• Increased nervous tissue tone which can lead to headaches, trigger points and muscle tightness, as well as decreased blood flow and energy levels, and much more!
