About Fascial manipulation
What is Fascia?While it is nice to think that fascia is simply one thing, like most things in life, fascia just isn’t that simple. We can find fascia throughout our bodies connected to muscles, tendons, nerves, and organs.Fascia in different parts of the body serve different roles. At times, these various fascia will meet, serving as a bridge connecting our body into a giant web.In the past, fascia was ignored because it hid the muscle underneath. Now we are fortunate that researchers are studying this structure and its impact on human health. Since this field of research is so new, our understanding of how to treat it will continue to evolve.Since fascia serves different functions in different parts of the body and overlaps with one another. How the superficial, deep, or visceral fascia can generate pain will vary the treatment protocol.While there are many types of fascial manipulation groups, Stecco Fascial Manipulation is the most researched regarding the science of fascia and treatment.

frequently asked questions
What should I wear?
The technique can be done skin-on-skin, with or without a sheet covering you, but you can also be fully dressed during the treatment. It is up to you and what you are comfortable with. If you plan to stay dressed, please wear comfortable loose-fitting clothing. Spandex, leggings, and jeans make it difficult to treat the underlying tissue.Will it hurt?
Unfortunately, the treatment can be painful, but pain levels should drop during treatment. The reason why the treatmnet of a spot will be painful is that the tissue is restricted. The pressure applied is slight, and if the tissue were healthy, there would be no pain.How long will I be sore after the treatment?
You can expect to be sore for 2 to 3 days after the treatment. The more you move, the quicker the soreness will go away.When can I resume working out?
Activities like walking or running are encouraged, but lifting weights should resume a few days after treatment or at a lowered weight.How many sessions will I need?
The typical treatment can be from one to five sessions to address a specific issue.How frequently can I be treated?
