Fascia is a specialised system that exists in the body and covers every muscle, bone, nerves, the brain and the spinal cord.  In a normal state fascia is relaxed and wavy.  When we experience trauma or inflammation this tissue becomes tight and restricted producing pain, restriction of motion and misalignment of the body.  Treatment involves gentle compression and stretching of muscle tissue (facia) until it releases.  This brings the body back into normal alignment and reduces pain, improving motion..
