The origin of your pain
Most people spend the majority of the day standing or sitting down.
We know you don’t get to move much during those busy office days! Performing regular stretching exercises
tackles the cause of your pain. A consistent routine helps ease muscle tension, stretch the connective
tissue, reduce the pressure on your joints, and increases your range of motion
-
If you only do repetitive movements, movements that involve one side
of the body, or just don’t move enough, the body‘s muscles and fasciae
become tense and inflexible.
-
As tension in the tissue increases, more and more pressure is eventually
placed on the joints.
-
This results in chronic painful conditions that can become worse if left
untreated.

What is fascia tissue
Fascia is a dense, fibrous connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs in the body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, transmitting forces, and providing support and protection to the body . Fascia is not just a passive casing but an active contributor to athletic performance:
Movement Efficiency: Fascia acts as a fibro-elastic connective tissue that plays a significant role in posture, movement, and dynamic tissue function . It is involved in coordinating and synergizing movement, which is essential for speed, power, and reactiveness . When fascia is healthy and pliable, it supports optimal athletic performance by improving movement efficiency, power generation, and flexibility.
Nerve Compression and Irritation: Fascial adhesions or tightness can compress or irritate nearby nerves, leading to neuropathic pain or neuralgia. Nerves embedded within the fascia may become hypersensitive or dysfunctional, sending pain signals to the brain even in the absence of actual tissue damage.
Injury Prevention: Healthy fascial tissue contributes to injury prevention in sports medicine. Fascia acts as a stabilizer and a shock absorber, helping to prevent injuries by transmitting force and allowing for efficient movement . Maintaining healthy fascial tissue through proper training and conditioning can help athletes prevent injuries, improve athletic performance, and recover more quickly from injuries.
Proprioception: Fascia contains sensory nerves that send feedback to the brain and regulate movement, posture, and body awareness (proprioception) . This sensory and receptor network within fascia plays a significant role in athletes' ability to feel good in their bodies and perform optimally
Impaired Blood Flow: Fascial restrictions can compress blood vessels, reducing blood flow to muscles and tissues. Inadequate blood supply hampers the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and slows down the removal of metabolic waste products, impairing tissue repair and healing processes. Chronic inflammation and tissue damage may result, contributing to persistent pain.
