Fasciae are a thin collagen-containing membrane and they form the link between the rigid structures of the body, our bones and the moving muscles. Hardening or adhesions of the fasciae (connective tissue) are often the main cause of back pain and immobility. With the appropriate massage technique this can be prevented or treated. The aim of a fascia massage is to restore suppleness to the collagenous connective tissue that supports and surrounds the muscles through pressure stimulation. In this way, adhesions in the connective tissue can be loosened through targeted massage strokes and their original state can be restored.
