cise overview
1. Getting to know your device
What are fasciae?
Fasciae are fine, tough connective tissue fibres that pass through our entire body
like a three-dimensional network. Human fasciae surround all muscles, bones,
organs and nerve cells in the body and ensure that when we move, the individual
parts of our body glide past one another and remain in place.
Fasciae also act as links between the muscle fibres and ensure that we are able
to use our muscle strength. The strain energy between the tendons and bones is
stored and then suddenly released upon relaxing.
Fasciae shorten and harden if they are not used on a regular basis (similarly to mu-
scles). The structures of the fasciae stick together and thicken, which causes them
to become porous and lose their elasticity. This results in small tears and inflamma-
tion, which also affects the transmission of force and your coordination. In isolated
cases, thickened fasciae may also press down on the nerves and cause discom-
fort. There may be a variety of reasons as to why fasciae have shortened or stuck
together, such as a lack of movement, protective postures or psychological stress.
How does the Fascia-ReleaZer
®
work?
If fascia tissue has become stuck together or hardened, you can improve its sup-
pleness and elasticity by alternately applying pressure and tension. By using the
Fascia-ReleaZer
®
as a self-help device, you can positively stimulate these receptors
in our tissue. This will increase and speed up the regenerative capacity of the tissue.
Your blood supply will also be improved and your nerves will function better. The
stimulation from the Fascia-ReleaZer
®
allows new nutrients to reach the cells and
