What are Fascial Restrictions?

Fascial restrictions are areas of tightness and tension in the fascia, a connective tissue that supports muscles, bones, and organs. They can occur anywhere in the body, but are most common in the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and legs. Any tightness and restriction in the fascia can pull the body of alignment, thus limiting the body's movement, flexibility and function.

Fascial restrictions and tension can form from stresses of everyday life, compensatory movement patterns, emotional and physical trauma, repetitive movements, scarring, and poor body alignment.

Release of Fascial Restrictions can:

-Restore movement and gait

-Properly align the body

-Fix compensatory movement patterns

-Improve flexibility

-Increase blood circulation and support organ function

-Reduce inflammation in the body

How does Physical Therapy Help?

At our clinic, the majority of our hands-on treatments take a comprehensive approach and include various Myofascial release techniques and massage. Strengthening the correct muscle groups reduces compensation patterns, and our tools such as ShockWave and cupping offer deeper tissue release methods!
