What’s all the fascia-bout Fascia?

What’s all the fascia-bout Fascia?

Fascia is ALIVE and electric! It contains nerve endings and cells that adapt and respond to stimuli within and around fascia. Deep fascia envelops and penetrates muscles, giving rise to the term Myofascial, pertaining to both muscle (myo-) and fascia. Fascia wraps around each muscle and also around groups of muscles with similar functions creating muscle compartments. To further zoom out, fascia organizes itself into broader chains of fascia that create relationships between muscles extending from feet to head!

Learning from Nature to Live in Balance with Autumn

As we enter the season of fall, looking at how nature transitions during this time can be inspiration for what we should do as well to prepare for the colder months. In Autumn, the harvest is in full swing and animals are storing food for the winter and growing their thicker coats. Leaves and petals are dropping off plants to conserve energy and not be left out to be damaged by the elements. Fall is a time for transitioning into slowing down and storing energy for winter.

The season of late summer- time to strengthen your digestion and support your emotional health

The season of late summer- time to strengthen your digestion and support your emotional health

Late summer is associated with the earth element and the Spleen and Stomach channels. The Spleen and Stomach rule digestion which is turn helps support the building of the musculoskeletal system and in particular the nourishment of muscle tissues. Just as the Spleen and Stomach help us digest our food, they also help us “digest” and process our emotional life.
