What a Fascia Massage Is & Does at Botanica Spa

When considering our basic needs regarding physical health and comfort, we often focus a lot of attention on our main organs, systems, and muscles.  If you feel sore, tired or uncomfortable, you may consider that poor diet, illness or muscle fatigue is to blame. Sometimes a simple Epsom salt bath is all it takes to feel better. You may rarely, if ever, consider your body’s fascia. (Perhaps you don’t even know what fascia is and that’s okay, not many people do!) 

However, considering fascia’s huge presence and vital role throughout your entire body, it is beneficial to understand fascia and what can be done to keep it healthy, relaxed and working smoothly. Thus, you’ll be booking Botanica’s Fascia Massage by the end of this article!

Breaking Down Fascia

Fascia is densely-woven, fibrous connective tissue that covers and penetrates every single bone, muscle, nerve, artery, vein and internal organ in the body.  Healthy fascia provides a valuable structure and support to the body so that it can operate smoothly as designed and desired.  Unhealthy fascia that is dehydrated or weakened can become taut and “sticky”–adhering uncomfortably to the body structures and organs it’s meant to encase–or it can start tearing away from these structures or organs and developing holes in its structure. 

Even if you’ve never heard of fascia before, chances are you are aware of its undesirable effects.  The unpleasant, “bumpy” appearance of cellulite is actually the result of unhealthy fascia tearing away and allowing underlying layers of body fat to push through. Yes, it plays that big of a role that most people are completely unaware of!

Fascia massage, Medi cupping, and fascia blasting all help to promote fascia repair by reducing stress and strain on fascia fibers, increasing blood flow, improving nerve conductivity and increasing interstitial fluid flow.  It can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, love handles, saddlebags and belly bulge (just to name a few of those terrible names for different forms of fat on the body, sorry).  It can also work to break down fat tissues, improve muscle performance, reduce pain, improve lymph drainage and accelerate muscle recovery.
