A LOT of people have tightness that is uncomfortable and makes it hard to move well.
The solutions we are given? Stretch! Yoga! Massages!
Nothing wrong with any of these things. However, many people do these things and are still battling the same tightness for months, or even years.
What gives?!?
Enter fascia, the most underrated tissue in the human body.
It is thin, flexible, and stabilizing. It also covers large areas of the body allowing us dynamic movement as human beings.
Unfortunately, the lives we live are hard on the fascia. Accidents and injuries. Lack of movement. Stressed posture.
Over time, the fascia becomes inflexible and dehydrated.
The result? You guessed it - tightness and “muscle knots”
But until the fascia is released, the tightness persists. Which is why continuing to work on muscles may be a fast track to insanity
