What are Fascial Maneuvers?
Fascial Maneuvers are a practical, self-care technique that targets the often-overlooked connective tissue (Fascia) in our bodies.
By gently stretching and releasing tension in this tissue, you can improve flexibility, reduce pain, and even address issues like organ dysfunction.
Why? Because Fascia surrounds and supports almost everything in our body including:
- Bones
- Muscles
- Tendons & Ligaments
- Organs
- Blood vessels
- Nerves
There’s no disease, symptom or pain that won’t improve when decreasing the tension in your Fascia.
The benefits & how
Reduce the stress in your body
Fascial Maneuvers have been shown to reduce physical tension by up to 90% in just 15 minutes a day. When we’re stressed, our connective tissue (fascia) tightens, potentially leading to pain, stiffness, and dysfunction.
Opens up Fascia to release the impact of physical & emotional traumas
Fascia, being a dynamic and responsive tissue, can respond to trauma by:
- Tensing up (contracting)
- Forming adhesions (sticking together)
- Developing scar tissue
- Altering its fluid dynamics (reducing slide and glide).
This altered fascial state can lead to:
Restricted range of motion, chronic pain and discomfort, altered posture and alignment, impaired organ function, and emotional and psychological distress.
Allows your body to heal itself
When stressed, our body’s natural healing abilities are impaired.
But once we achieve a state of relaxation and safety, our body’s innate healing potential is unleashed, capable of overcoming a wide range of ailments and discomforts.
By reducing stress through techniques like fascial maneuvers and avoiding harmful substances, we can unlock our body’s incredible capacity for self-healing.
