Luke, This is your Fascia...

And, if your fascia is gooey and dehydrated, your range of motion will suffer!!
Your a human BEING that should be DOING things in full ranges of motion and full ranges of happiness! Your ability to move freely, without impediment and pain is directly linked
to the health of this membranous tissue (Unless of course you have a specific orthopedic injury/issue). Maintaining healthy fascia begins with understanding it.  This video is a miracle of modern science. It shows this magical tissue magnified 25x giving us a true "look inside" ride.  If you were at VegFest this weekend and had the chance to talk to me about foam rolling with a tennis ball or roller, this is the tissue we were addressing!
 Fix your fascia people!  (You can enlarge this video! Simply click on the video to begin playback. On the bottom right of the video, click on the square that says "Full Screen". When the video is over, hit your ESC key to bring you back to the blog post.)
The function of muscle fasciae is to reduce
friction to minimize the reduction of muscular force. In other words...it's like the oil in your engine. It's the lube of the moving parts. No lubey. No movey.
Fascia provides:
1. A sliding and gliding environment for muscles.
2. Suspend organs in their proper place
3. Transmit movement from muscle to bones
4. Provide a supportive and movable wrapping for nerves and blood vessels as they pass through and between muscles.

Myofascial release through specific massage modalities, utilizing a foam roller, tennis ball, or other tools, stretching and mobility techniques, hydration, and remaining active are all ways in which we can stay pain free and mobile for years to come. 

A fascia (/ˈfæʃiə/; plural fasciae /ˈfæʃɨ.aɪ/; adjective fascial; from Latin: "band") is a layer of fibrous tissue.
 A fascia is a structure of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, binding some structures together, while permitting others to slide smoothly over each other.

 with routine treatment and maintenance, you can get your
fascia feelin' fine ;)

    The Blog 

    This is where you'll find my latest musings on all things flesh, bone, and body related and will cover all the most pertinent topics in a variety of settings.  As a Licensed Massage Therapist specializing in Sports and a veteran personal trainer of almost two decades, I've gathered a nugget or two of knowledge and experience along the way. This blog will be diverse in it's content, solid in its message, and likely to make you laugh at least once or twice. Whether it's a video of how to repair your broken and achy bits, a review of mud's effect on burpees and your complexion, or a recipe for a mouthwatering plate of goodness, I'll do my best to educate and entertain you.  I promise not to be boring.
