2. Introduction

What is Fascia?
Fascias are fine, tough connective tissue fibers that pass through
our entire body like a three-dimensional network. Fascia surrounds
all muscles, bones, organs and nerve cells in the body and ensures
that when we move, the individual parts of our body glide past one
another and remain in place. Fascias also act as links between the
muscle fibers and ensure that we are able to use our muscle strength.
The strain energy between the tendons and bones is stored and then
suddenly released upon relaxing.
Fascias shorten and harden if not used regularly (similar to mus-
cles). The structures of the fascias stick together and thicken, which
causes them to become porous and lose their elasticity. This results
in small tears and inflammation, which also affects the transmission
of force and your coordination. In isolated cases, thickened fascia
may also press down on the nerves and cause discomfort. There
are a variety of reasons why fascias shorten or stick together, such
as a lack of movement, protective postures or psychological stress.
How does the work?

If fascia tissue has become stuck together or hardened, you can
improve its suppleness and elasticity by alternately applying pressure
