Fascial (Not FACIAL!) Fitness

Fascia is a whole body system, investing every cell of your body.  It is otherwise known as connective tissue (ie., collagen, elastin, and reticulin), and has been referred to as “THE ORGAN OF SUPPORT”

We are still discovering the function of this important tissue, as well as it’s importance down to a cellular level. 

Physiotherapist, Kris Desjardins, has studied with a pioneer in the field, Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains, Myofascial Meridians.

A few facts-

-fascia is a mechanical system, conveying and responsive to tension and compression

-in areas of the body that are braced, or collapsed, fascial tension is less than ideal

-in these areas, function is altered down to a cellular level

-optimal tension promotes cellular metabolism, and health, and therefore holistic health and well being

-the body is a tensegrity system meaning that it’s structural integrity depends on a balance of tensional forces (rather than a compressional system)

In this workshop, you will learn real-life applications of the above facts in order to attain  & maintain the ultimate Balanced Body.
