A body part you didn’t know you have?
Not my title, but so true.. I guess I am surprised more people do not understand about their fascia (connective tissue). It is one of the most pervasive systems in the body.
Below is a definition of fascia, to try and better help you understand. It is super important and for those of you that have aches & pains regularly and do stretch but seem to not be able to rid yourself of those sensations, understanding your fascia might help. It might also help to know that this connective tissue surrounds your muscles and works differently and is made from a different substance ( well a few different substances). Fascia does not a slide like muscle tissue, therefore needing different things for release.
It is so worth the time and effort to understand and then work it out!
