Milo Massage with a Sun Burst.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue that surrounds, supports, and separates muscles and other internal organs. It is made up primarily of collagen and is found throughout the body, providing structure and helping to transmit mechanical forces generated by muscle movements. Fascia plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's structural integrity, facilitating movement, and supporting overall function and flexibility. When fascia becomes dehydrated, it loses its flexibility and pliability. This can lead to a range of issues, including increased stiffness, reduced range of motion, and the formation of adhesions or "knots" in the tissue. Dehydrated fascia can restrict movement, cause discomfort or pain, and negatively impact overall physical performance. Proper hydration, along with regular movement and stretching, is essential to keep the fascia healthy and functional. My deep bodywork methods bring much needed hydration and blood flow to every layer of your fascia. Fascia runs deep and so does my work.

Fascia and the Nervous System

Fascia is interwoven through the nervous system. When fascia is sticky, the nervous system registers this as tenderness and pain. The only way to overcome this discomfort is to touch the area, feel the area, and then work on the area. This is Milo's fundamental method: "touch it," "feel it," and "work on it."

Think of Fascia Like Shrink Wrap

Fascia is everywhere. It’s in your muscle tissue, around your organs, and it covers your ligaments and tendons. It’s meant to glide smoothly with all other tissues. When it gets sticky, we experience this as tenderness and pain. Milo’s method brings much-needed hydration and blood flow to the fascia tissue, helping it glide smoothly again.

Fascia Misunderstood

Fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, organs, and other structures in the body, has gained more recognition in recent years for its crucial role in maintaining overall health and flexibility. While it may not have been as well understood in the past, the importance of keeping our bodies active and mobile has been emphasized in various cultures throughout history. Regular movement and activity can indeed help keep the fascia and our bodies healthy and functioning well, even as we age.

Working Through Pain for Lasting Relief

Working Through Pain for Lasting Relief

Western massage teaches to avoid pain, while Eastern massage/bodywork teaches to work through the pain. If the client is walking, active, with no open wounds, fractures, fever, or recent surgery, it means the issue is in the tissue, nerves, and fascia. By manipulating the tissue, we can hydrate the fascia and bring needed blood flow to reduce pain in the long run.

Learning to Work Through Discomfort, Dis-ease

Blockages throughout the body can restrict blood flow, leading to a sluggish system. Effective bodywork can reduce these blockages and increase circulation, resulting in a decrease in the un-ease or dis-ease we experience in our daily routines. Embracing discomfort is essential to realizing the full potential of Milo's method.

Discovering the Source of Pain

Discovering the Source of Pain

While we may experience pain in a specific area of the body, this is not always the source of the pain. Milo's method involves an initial assessment and seeking input from the client. This is followed by palm walking and deep thumb presses, allowing Milo to feel where the blockages in the body are that are causing the pain. Touch, feel, and work on it!
