Fascia is connective tissue that covers the whole body in a three dimensional continuous web connecting our whole body together. The fascia is able to seperate body parts such as muscles, nerves, organs, bones and vessels; as well is able to stabilize and support the structures. Fascia is mostly made of collagen along with elastin and ground substance. This allows for a strong stable foundation to provide tension and able to have elasticity for more movement. The ground substance helps with shock absorption. The three combined together gives us the ability to move, function, and stabilize.

Restrictions can happen from physical or emotional trauma, scars, inflammation and injury. The fascia binds down and pulls together losing the elasticity and causes 2,000 pounds a pressure per square inch. This crushes the whole body system and impacts the whole body as it pulls on the continuous web of fascia through the body. These fascial restrictions can apply excessive pressure which cause symptoms such as; pain, headaches, limited movement, and decrease function.

MRI, CT scans, and other tests do not detect fascial restrictions, associated pains and decrease movements. Many patients suffering from fascial restrictions are incorrectly diagnosed, over medicated, and left with unanswered questions.
