FasciaBlasting
Have you ever wondered why you feel so tight, stiff, sore and achey? You may be active, you may stretch, or you may be more sedentary, but you still are tight. A primary cause of this is tight fascia. Fascia is a dense connective tissue that runs throughout the entire body. It surrounds and encases muscles and all the muscle fibers, it connects tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, and keeps our organs in place.
When fascia is tight it can:
• restrict bloodflow
• restrict nerve signal
• torque and tighten joints
• limit range of motion
• pull on the fascial sheath below the skin that causes dimpling
• rob us of overall vitality

What Is Fascia?
Fascia is the head to toe, arm to arm, inside-out connective tissue. It divides our muscles and penetrates them like the internal skin of an orange. It also surrounds virtually every structure of the human body. If we were able to peek inside our bodies and only see the fascia, we would look like a human form of cotton candy with mummy-like bandages running throughout. The entire fascia system is connected in ONE piece like a 3D spider-web. It's so obvious, how did we miss this?

Ashley Black Guru explains there are 4 types of fascia:
1. Structural fascia- Runs in long strips through the body. Visible in chicken meat just below the skin. The white silky membrane.
2. Inter-structural fascia- Is present inside muscles and connects muscles to other muscles and to the bones. Visible when eating steak, the cobweb-like material.
3. Visceral fascia- The “goop” inside our abdominal cavity that surrounds our organs and digestive system.
4. Spinal fascia- the straw like thick casing that surrounds the spinal column
​
The fascia has a brush point with literally every other system of the body. It is as, or more significant than any other system. Having loose, healthy fascia is vital for overall health and well-being. Healthy fascia also makes us look, feel, and function better!

Better Blood Flow
When fascia is tight, it restricts blood flow. Little veins and arteries flow through the fascia delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Fascia is so adhesive that it can block blood flow entirely to certain area, cause swelling in others, or just make it harder for blood to pump.

Better Definition and Nerve Activity!
When fascia is tight, it restricts the nerve signal. Nerves are the messengers that send signals from the brain to the muscles. When the signal is interrupted, or choked out, the muscle output is lessened. Fascia also can encase muscles, not allowing the cuts to show through. If you are big enough, you can actually outgrow your fascia and limit the size of muscle growth.

Lessen the look of cellulite
When fascia is tight, it pulls down on the fascial sheath below the skin. Fascial adhesions look like a chain link fence. When fat is present, it pushes through the fascia like a marshmallow pushing through a chain link fence. This causes a dimpled and puckered effect.

Pain and Orthopedics
When fascia is tight, it can torque and tighten joints and is often a pre curser to more serious issues such as strains, ligament problems, back pain, swelling, limited range of motion and more. Overall tight fascia can cause head aches, full body aches and rob us of vitality.
