Fascial adhesions are restrictions within the connective tissue network of the body, known as fascia. These restrictions can develop due to inactivity, injury, inflammation, or poor posture, leading to pain, reduced range of motion, and muscular imbalances. Addressing these limitations aims to restore proper tissue glide and function, promoting overall musculoskeletal health.
Releasing these tissue restrictions is crucial for maintaining flexibility, reducing pain, and improving athletic performance. Historically, manual therapists have employed various techniques to address fascial restrictions. Self-care strategies can provide a means of managing minor restrictions and preventing the buildup of more significant limitations. Benefits include improved circulation, reduced muscle tension, and enhanced body awareness.
