What is Fascia?

First things first, we need to discuss fascia. Fascia is connective tissue that is in, on, and around everything in the body. From head to toe, our body is covered in fascia. Dr. ChungYang, MD describes fascia as an “uninterrupted viscoelastic tissue which forms a functional 3-dimensional collagen matrix and surrounds and connects every muscle and organ, forming continuity throughout the body.” (ashleyblackguru.com). Fascia feeds our cells. Therefore, healthy fascia equals healthy cells.

Fascia has the ability to change states. It can be like liquid or like a strong solid. In many cases, you can think of it like Jello. With heat Jello softens and liquifies while with cold it solidifies. Heat and movement soften the fascia, allowing better oxygen, blood flow, and nutrition into the cells.

What is FasciaFit?

FasciaFit uses the tools and research of Ashley Black to naturally release and regenerate the fascia of the body. We utilize heat and handheld, non-electric tools on bare skin with oil to work into the fascia layer by layer. Cryotherapy is also used to decrease inflammation and improve circulation.
