Fascia Therapy 

Fascia Therapy

You are probably aware that your body consists of bones, muscles and organs. But did you know that ''fascia'' (which are connective tissue membranes) connects everything together?

​

Fascia is one large 3-dimensional elastic connective tissue network in the body that runs from head to toe, from skin to bone. The fascia ensures that your body is held together and everything stays in the right place.

​

But it is just as important that there is a liquid gel between these membranes that ensures that muscles can pass each other smoothly. The fascia system therefore ensures stability, frictionless movement and resilience. This means it plays a very important role in your health and mobility.

This method not only looks at the area of the complaint itself, but at your posture and movement as a whole. Fascia is another word for the connective tissue membranes that surround all muscles, bones and nerves - see image - and the liquid gel between these membranes. The membranes ensure that everything is connected and can work together well, the gel makes it possible for movements to run smoothly.

Fascia contains many more nerve endings ('sensors') than muscle or bone. Pain, stiffness and balance problems are usually caused by problems in the fascia. The fascia therapist is specially trained to quickly detect these problems. And fortunately, fascia can usually be influenced very well. The treatment often provides immediate relief and leads to reduction or complete resolution of your complaint.

There are techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine using materials to treat the skin and fascia. That's called Gua Sha. Indian culture also included massaging with materials such as coins, called 'pidjits'.

A more recent variant is called IASTM. (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization). This is done with stainless steel tools, a kind of handles, with soft edges, with which the contours of the body can be followed and treated exactly. Of course, these are also properly cleaned and disinfected between treatments.
