Fascia is a connective tissue structure present throughout the body. It connects our muscles to the bones (via tendons), acts as a continuum through our muscles and even wraps around all our organs!
What Can You Do to Help Your Fascia?
Movement
Your fascia was made for movement — supporting and adapting to the movements you do on a day-to-day basis. Regular physical activity is essential for healthy fascia.
Warm-up Before Exercise
Dynamic warm-ups prepare the body appropriately before physical activities like running or weight lifting.
Hydration
Since fascia contains high water content, staying well-hydrated supports optimal tissue function and fluid movement.
How Physiotherapy Helps
We offer several treatments to help your fascia:
- Myofascial release techniques using foam rollers and release balls
- Cupping therapy using silicone or glass suction cups
- Customised stretches and movements
At-Home Exercise
A practical fascia release exercise involves using a ball under the foot to improve flexibility in calves, hamstrings, and back muscles. Contact us on 03 443 1711 to book an appointment and learn more.
