Do you wake up in the morning feeling stiff and tight? Maybe you can feel specific areas of tightness and inflexibility? It could be caused by the connective tissue, fascia; and if so, this video is for you.

Fascia is a dense connective tissue found throughout your body. It’s like a three-dimensional web encasing and supporting your muscles, organs, nerves, and blood vessels. It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, transmitting forces, and providing a pathway for communication between different body parts.

Fascia isn't a single entity, however. There are multiple layers – from superficial fascia found just beneath your skin, to deep fascia surrounding your muscles and bones, and then visceral fascia enveloping your organs. Each type has unique properties and functions, collectively contributing to your body's stability, flexibility, and overall wellbeing.

Fascia differs from muscles and other connective tissues in that it’s very smart with many times more sensory nerve endings, making it almost as sensitive as skin to stretching, strain, heat, and injury. As a result, it’s really important to keep your fascia healthy and mobile.

In this video, I’ll reveal more about fascia and why it’s so important, the types of exercise that will keep it strong and healthy, as well as some fascia-friendly nutrients to add to your diet. Let’s get started!
