WELCOME TO YOUR PAIN FREE JOURNEY
I believe in finding the root cause of chronic pain and providing personalized therapy treatments to help you achieve a pain-free life.
​
Overcoming your chronic pain is truly possible.
​
Through years of experience and training as a Physical Therapist and a Fascia system specialist, I will design a plan that is right for you based on your pain and mobility history.
Fascia, its function and why you should
care?
What is fascia?
The fascia of the human body is a three-dimensional network of tissue that extends over our entire body.
So when someone talks about fascia, they are actually referring to just one fascia, as all the strands and fibres of this enveloping tissue are connected.
Acting as a protective and supportive sheath, but also as a communication and supply network, it envelops our muscles and organs such as the liver and kidneys to protect them from damage.
It plays a crucial role in maintaining structural integrity, transmitting forces, and providing support and protection to the body . Fascia is not just a passive casing but an active contributor to athletic performance
Functions
Movement Efficiency, the fascia acts as a fibro-elastic connective tissue that plays a significant role in posture, movement, and dynamic tissue function . It is involved in coordinating and synergizing movement, which is essential for speed, power, and reactiveness . When fascia is healthy and pliable, it supports optimal athletic performance by improving movement efficiency, power generation, and flexibility.
Nerve Compression and Irritation: Fascial adhesions or tightness can compress or irritate nearby nerves, leading to neuropathic pain or neuralgia. Nerves embedded within the fascia may become hypersensitive or dysfunctional, sending pain signals to the brain even in the absence of actual tissue damage.
Injury Prevention: Healthy fascial tissue contributes to injury prevention in sports medicine. Fascia acts as a stabilizer and a shock absorber, helping to prevent injuries by transmitting force and allowing for efficient movement . Maintaining healthy fascial tissue through proper training and conditioning can help athletes prevent injuries, improve athletic performance, and recover more quickly from injuries.
Proprioception: Fascia contains sensory nerves that send feedback to the brain and regulate movement, posture, and body awareness (proprioception) . This sensory and receptor network within fascia plays a significant role in athletes' ability to feel good in their bodies and perform optimally
Impaired Blood Flow: Fascial restrictions can compress blood vessels, reducing blood flow to muscles and tissues. Inadequate blood supply hampers the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells and slows down the removal of metabolic waste products, impairing tissue repair and healing processes. Chronic inflammation and tissue damage may result, contributing to persistent pain.
Why should you care?
Most people spend the majority of the day standing or sitting down in normal yet not natural positions.
​
-
If you only do repetitive movements, movements that involve one side of the body, or just don’t move enough, the body‘s muscles and fasciae become tense and inflexible, adhesion build up in myofascial tissue.
-
As tension in the tissue increases, more and more pressure is eventually placed on the joints.
-
This leads to mobility restrictions up to chronic severe pain conditions that can become worse if left untreated.
