How to Keep Your Fascia (and Heart) Healthy?

A healthy cardiovascular system is affected by many things, but an often overlooked factor is our fascia—the connective tissue that runs through our entire body, surrounding muscles, bones, organs and giving our body shape and structure.
Fascia transmits force and even sends signals to our brain! All our body movements are determined by sensors in our fascia.
When it's restricted, dehydrated, or dysfunctional our blood flow is reduced and we can no longer control our move effectively, we feel stiff and in pain.
Fascia’s Role in Circulation
Fascia contains blood vessels that support circulation but when restricted, can lead to tissue adhesions, limiting blood flow and reducing oxygen and nutrients being delivered to muscles and organs, including the heart. Research shows that fascia is an organ of communication, playing a role in circulatory function and metabolic exchange.
Movement, Fascia and Heart Health
Regular physical activity is one of the most effective ways we can improve our cardiovascular health but that can be difficult when our fascia is restricted fascia, which makes us exercise less often and less effectively.
The Nervous System, Stress, and Fascia
Chronic stress can negatively impact heart health, increase inflammation and elevate blood pressure. Fascia is deeply connected to the autonomic nervous system, which regulates stress responses in the body.
How to Keep Your Fascia (and Heart) Healthy?
Fascial Stretch Therapy helps keep our fascia flexible, reduces restrictions and improves our blood flow.  It hydrates the tissue, facilitating circulation and movement and reduces stress making our heart healthier!
