Stretching & how to make it effective.

No longer is it effective to isolate a muscle and hold it in a stretch position for 30 seconds. This is called static stretching, and can sometimes cause us to over-stretch and put too muc pressure on one singular muscle, sometimes causing further compression of a joint.

Our bodies move in multiple planes during exercise, work and everyday movement. Fascial stretching focuses on the fascia and fascial connections, not individual muscles; using multiple planes of movement that are unique to the functioning of each joint, and focusing on breath with movement (ie diagonal and rotational patterns – seen in yoga poses).  

This is why we feel so restored, energized and healed after our fascial system is worked.
