THE fascia are connective tissue membranes like tendons and ligaments.
“We have fascia (or aponeurosis) everywhere in our body. A fascia is a thin membrane of skin that covers the organs, muscles and bones. This membrane is white, transparent, viscous. You have to imagine that it constitutes like a spider’s web stretched over the body from head to toe”, introduces Christelle Dufaur, trained at the Institute of Fasciapulsology Christian Carini in Paris and member of the International Group of Fasciapulsology (association of therapists), author of Je chouchoute mes fascias. published by Leduc (November 2022).
“A fascia is made up of connective tissue very rich in collagen fibers and it has a fairly essential function in the body because it ensures that all the structures of the body are held together”, explains our specialist. These fascias have other functions in our organism, in particular nourishing and immune.
“They appear to be of crucial importance for the balance of the human body and its proper functioning”, says Christelle Dufaur. For them to perform their functions correctly in our body, it is necessary to take care of them, by having a healthy diet, good hydration, quality sleep, physical activity that suits them (strengthening exercises and stretching , with yoga classes, Pilates…) and to reduce stress, the fascias being very sensitive to it.
