It is the set of connective tissues including tendons and ligaments that supports the bones of the body. The fascia envelops each of the muscles and our thoracic and adbominopelvic organs. The fascia represents the continuity, the opposite of the rupture. For example, it is possible you receive a therapeutic touch on the back and you feel a warmth in the calf. Listening to what one feels is the key to optimal fasciatherapy.

In fasciatherapy, therapists put their hands on the person’s body to listen to the natural and extremely subtle movement of the fascia. Then, maneuvers will be practiced according to the restrictions and the vitality of the tissues. Very often, the maneuvers used quickly plunge the person into deep relaxation (para-sympathetic nervous system).

These maneuvers will fit well during a Swedish massage.
