WHAT IS FASCIA?

Fascia is a sensory organ.  It is a magical matrix of awesomeness! It is everywhere and a part of everything. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. 

Now proven to have up to 6 times as many sensory nerves than its red muscular counterpart, fascia is now recognized as our richest sensory organ  and called a '6th Sense' by our practitioners.   

When considering the amount of sensory nerves fascia has and  the fact our brains are said to have over  100 billion receptors receiving  information  from everywhere all of the time, science is only recently finding that this '6th Sense' is an integral part all functions.  Treating and training the body fascially is the key to longevity in sport and independent function.

At Fascia Lines, it is understood that this sensory organ and it's interwoven systems respond to various kinds of touch and that treatment doesn’t have to ‘hurt to work' .  In short, fascia responds to slow and subtle movement, breathing, and  gentle pressure to rehydrate stuck areas  without the stereotypical pain felt during traditional 'deep tissue' sessions.

At Fascia Lines, the client takes an active role in the session utilizing the neural and emotional connection that affects the tissues ability to be restored to their happy supple state. We address the underlying CAUSES of an issue, not just symptom management. The client will  leave with the knowledge of movement modifications, SMR strategies, stretches, and exercises to compliment and sustain the changes made during the sessions. We believe in empowering our clients of all ages and abilities with the knowledge and tools to maintain optimal and pain free movement.
