Bodywork To Relieve Tension

Therapeutic massage and guided stretches are forms of bodywork used to decrease and eliminate fascial adhesions. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds organs and internal structures of the body. Restrictions from fascia may occur due to overuse, structural imbalance, lack of movement and physical/emotional trauma. Fascia can bind in a manner similar to the way an external wound is wrapped in gauze. Fascial restrictions can be responsible for referred pain, nerve impingement and structural misalignment.
