Fascial Manipulation

Hey kiddo, do you know what fascia is? It's like a big spider web covering your entire body. Yes, even your bones and muscles! Fascia is really important because it helps keep everything in place and allows your body to move smoothly.

Sometimes, people can feel pain or have tightness in their muscles and joints. That's where fascial manipulation comes in. It's like a massage, but the therapist pushes on certain points to help relax the fascia and release the tension in the muscles.

The therapist uses their hands to feel for areas of tightness and then applies pressure to those areas. They might also ask you to move your body in certain ways to help stretch and release the fascia.

Fascial manipulation can help improve your flexibility, reduce pain, and improve your overall movement. It's like getting a big hug for your body!
