In the fitness industry right now, "fascia" is the latest buzzword….but watch out, it's could be here to stay!
Fascia is defined as: A sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together organs and other soft structures of the body.
"Fascia" is multi-layered, and a whole network of connective tissue surrounding individual elements of the body…including organs, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. In essence, fascia assists with turning muscle contraction into coordinated movements with minimal wear and tear on your joints. Research shows that breaking up the tight connective tissue~fascia~surrounding your muscles and joints will help you to move more freely.
