Many people think their muscles are tight when it’s really the fascia! Your fascia is like a wetsuit that surrounds the entire body.

Helene Langevin of the National Institutes of Health discovered through acupuncture that when a needle is inserted into the skin, collagen fibers of the fascia begin winding around the needle!

When you injure your fascia, you develop scar tissue, which can interfere with movement. Healthy fascia should be dynamic, movable, flexible, and even has electrical properties! Unhealthy or injured fascia develops a disorganized pattern of connective tissue. Stretching at home daily keeps your fascia healthy.

Tight muscles and tissues that cause bad posture are one of the biggest problems you can have with your fascia. The more you can elongate your connective tissue, the better it will be for your fascia.

A good daily stretching routine is one of the best ways to prevent stiffness associated with aging.

Follow along and try this easy stretching routine for healthy fascia, flexibility, and improved posture!
