Amazing Fascia! The fascia is a gel like matrix connecting muscles, cells and the nervous system together. It sends the brain messages about tension and force along with providing structure and force absorption. However, under stress of over or under movement, and activities that are unbalanced (think of holding the same position while cycling), the proteins contained in the fascia lose their capacity to hold water. We need movement - specifically oscillations, gliding and rebounding to help rehydrate fascia and help us move better and feel better! The fascia is a sensory organ connecting brain and body, so no doubt sticky, tight fascia can impact how we generally feel mentally.
