Free Your Fascia
$22.99 CAD |
Fascia is a single, interconnected web of tissue that runs from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet. Fascia surrounds every organ, every muscle, every bone, and every nerve fiber. And it has an astonishing range of functions. At Complete Wellness, New York's #1 pain management clinic, director Dr. Daniel Fenster is using both high-tech and low-tech fascia therapies to change the lives of people for the better. With this book, you'll learn if you have fascia-related problems--and if so, how serious they are.
Fascia doesn’t play a small role in your body. It plays a huge role, and that why it deserves the respect it’s now starting to receive. Thousands of doctors and therapists around the world are now targeting the fascia in order to relieve people’s pain, enhance their performance, and improve their lives… The fascia connects and interacts with every part of your body, never acting in isolation. As a result, when we treat the fascia, we’re also affecting other structures—I nparticular the muscles.
If self-therapy is the right choice for you, Dr. Fenster outlines a simple, effective "Free Your Fascia" Plan, a holistic program including stretching, foam rolling, destressing (meditation), fascia-friendly eating, hydration, and self-massage. Dr. Fenster also offers an insider's perspective on the most powerful tools in fascial manipulation: medical massage, acupuncture, cryotherapy, and trigger point therapy and trigger point injections.
Within these pages, you’ll find a simple guide to what fascia is, how to assess your own fascial health, and how to support your body with nutrition, at-home therapies, and professional aid… Dr. Fenster gives you the knowledge and tools you need to free your fascia—either on your own or with the help of experts—to effect healing on a deeper level than you may have ever experienced. —Liana Werner-Gray, from the foreword
