Fascia Tissue Release |
Learn what fascia tissue is, how it can constrict our mobility and how to release it's tight grip on our bodies. It is often fascia that keeps us bound up causing painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis, headaches and a multitude of mobility issues, not our muscles. Fascia tissue runs from out heals to our heads in straight lines, spirals and criss crosses literally keeping our bodies together. With the use of a tennis ball, we learn to safely and effectively release this tissue.
