Lack of mobility in the fascia eventually can lead<br \/>\nto chronic pain, chronic postural imbalances, tightness, stiffness and postural dysfunctions.<\/p>\n<p>Fascia not only holds muscles together and keeps them in the correct places, it also separates each<br \/>\nmuscle so the muscle can perform its individual task. When the fascia is tight, our muscles cannot<br \/>\nperform their movement tasks correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Fascia can be felt 6x more than muscles. So often when you are feeling tight or sore while stretching,<br \/>\nyou are feeling your fascia.<\/p>\n<p>Myofascial release and cupping is used to relieve the tension built up in our fascia system by<br \/>\nbreaking up lesions, increasing fascial mobility, increase blood supply, toxin release that builds up<br \/>\nand decrease general stiffness and pain.<\/p>\n<p>TIP: Water is extremely important in keeping the fascia healthy.
