Fascia
is the layer of collagenous, soft connective tissue that surrounds muscles,
groups of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. It binds some of these structures
together, allows others to slide and glide against one another with minimal
resistance, and transmits movement from muscles to bones. The fascial tissue is
becoming known to have its own contractile properties and playing a much more
vital role in motor control due to its composition of fibroblasts and nerve
receptors. Essentially fascia is the fibrous network that holds us together,
and it is important that we take care of it.
Fascia training can lead to better performance
and less injury
The Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT-Tool) is a
technique used in conjunction with other treatments including exercises to
facilitate re-patterning of the tissue. It helps decrease congestion in tissue
due to lymph and blood flow issues. This technique also increases motor control
by stimulating various receptors which will help to create stability and
strength in the area.
