What is Fascia

Fascia is a complex network of layered connective tissue that envelops muscles, bones, and joints. A joint capsule is a specialized connective tissue structure that surrounds joints and plays a crucial role in optimizing the mechanical function of the joint, as well as providing it with essential nutrients. When the fascia and joint capsules are restricted, it can lead to: Decreased joint space, which can result in degenerative joint diseases and osteoarthritis. Increased muscle tone, which can cause trigger points, strains, tendonitis, and tears. Increased nervous tissue tone, which can lead to headaches, trigger points, and muscle tightness, as well as decreased blood flow and energy levels, among other issues.
