What Is Fascia?

According to Cleveland Clinic, "Fascia is the band of thin, fibrous connective tissue that wraps around and supports every structure in your body...

[It is] made mostly of collagen. Collagen is a type of protein that provides strength and flexibility. Fascia is soft, loose and made up of multiple layers. A liquid called hyaluronan is between each layer. The hyaluronan helps your fascia stretch as you move. Inflammation and trauma can dry up the hyaluronan and damage your fascia. When your fascia tightens, it can restrict the movement of your muscles and tissues, causing pain and other health conditions.

Fascia provides structure and support throughout your body. It holds your muscles together, which allows them to contract and stretch. It provides a smooth surface for your muscles, joints and organs to slide against each other without creating any friction or tears.

Fascia also stabilizes your body structures and gives your body strength. It separates your muscles and eases muscle tension. It also helps with joint stability and movement, and it improves your circulation. Fascia provides an environment that enables all of your body systems to work together.

When your fascia is healthy, it’s relaxed and flexible. As you move, it stretches with you. When the hyaluronan dries up, the fascial layers can tighten around your muscles and other tissues. This can lead to pain and limited mobility."

If you experience muscle pain, stiffness and limited mobility in your body, it could be caused by having tight, unhealthy fascia.

Myofascial technique, which is the technique that I use in my SARGA BODYWORK® sessions, helps to stretch and restore health to your fascia, and thus, helps your body feel better from head-to-toe, since all of your fascia is interconnected!
