Feeling Muscle Pain? It May Actually Be Your Fascia

Healthy fascia is smooth, slippery and flexible. Fascia wraps and holds your muscles, bones, organs, and nerves in place, giving your body shape and stability. It provides smooth movement, reduces friction between tissues, allowing muscles to contract and joints to move freely. Fascia also stores and transmits energy to make movement more efficient. Fascia transport fluids and nutrients and removes waste. Fascia is rich in nerve endings, and it conveys pain signals to the brain. Fascia connects musculoskeletal, nervous, and endocrine systems, vital for hydration, inflammation control, and healing. But when fascia becomes unhealthy, it gets stiff, sticky, and thick, leading to restricted movement, chronic pain (like fibromyalgia), poor posture, muscle imbalances, and even affecting nerve/organ function. It loses its slippery quality, creating painful knots (trigger points) and adhesions, impacting your body’s ability to move freely and function optimally. One of the key symptoms of unhealthy fascia is Pain. This can be pain in one spot of the body or many different spots. This can make it difficult for you to move freely, giving you only limited range of motion and a feeling of being stuck. Unhealthy fascia makes for poor posture. Tight fascia can pull your body into poor alignment. Unhealthy fascia makes your nerves to become numb, tingling or shooting pain. It also makes your muscles become weak, leading to imbalances. Unhealthy fascia can cause ailments such as plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulders and pain syndrome. For some people, adhesions in fascia can worsen over time, causing the fascia to compress and contort the muscles it surrounds. This can result in hard, tender knots in the muscles, called trigger points. Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition in which those trigger points cause pain to occur during movement or when pressure is applied, Treatment focuses on relieving pain and getting tight fascia and muscle fibers to relax.
