Keeping Your Connective Tissue Healthy
When it comes to our health, the importance of fascia and connective tissue cannot be overstated. Fascia is defined as a three-dimensional fibrous network of specialized “stretchy” connective tissue, varying in texture and thickness throughout the entire body (some superficial, some deep). This fibrous connective network plays a primary role in regulating our movement patterns, alignment and posture.
When fascia is unhealthy, it becomes brittle and inflexible making it Ground Zero for the aches and pains we often chalk up to “Getting Old.”
We can keep fascia and connective tissue healthy with deliberate movement in all planes of motion. Through slow, gentle exercises and going through the joints’ range of motion, we can keep our fascia and joints lubricated, and reverse stiffness caused by years of overtraining, poor posture, or being sedentary.
Essentrics movements do all that plus create balance, strength, and flexibility – resulting in a more youthful and streamlined body that moves with ease.
As for the length of time it will take to reshape and restore your fascia, that varies with each person – just know that as long as you are moving on a daily basis, you will experience positive (even life-changing!) results!
