Why is Fascia Important?

When your fascia is tight your movement is severely limited and your body becomes stiffer, much like wearing a too-tight pair of pants. Releasing the fascia restores freedom of movement.

How is this different than massage?

Even deep tissue massage doesn't address deep fascia. This technique requires far more patience and precision. In a 90-minute session we work a couple of interconnected areas, rather than running the same routine on 6-8 clients a day.

How is this different than chiropractic?

Many mass chiropractic models are a revolving door. If the same issue keeps recurring, the structural root cause isn't being addressed. This work targets the structural root cause.

How is this different than Rolfing?

Rolfing is a different system on a fixed 10-hour timeline. The approach Logan uses, learned from maestro Edu Gomez, is more intuitive and fully personalized rather than cookie-cutter.

What benefits will I see?

Clients feel tremendous relief and a deeper connection to their body. The more connected you become, the more free. There is a long list of other benefits to experience for yourself.

It shouldn't be painful. Clients often describe it as intense but not painful, or not comfortable but very relieving. Breathing techniques and guidance support the process, and we unwind one area at a time.

Hydrate the day before, avoid caffeine the day of so you can relax into a restful parasympathetic state, and come with an open and curious mind.

What about after the session?

Spend the day feeling into your body, drink plenty of high-quality water, avoid heavy exercise, and move slowly. This helps your body hold the changes rather than slipping back into old patterns.

Will this work for XYZ condition?

Better structure leads to better function and vice versa. Opening the fascia changes how you breathe, walk and show up. Some specific conditions may need a referral, but improving structure and function supports overall health.

Is there any scientific research on this?

Yes. Fascia research has grown enormously in recent years. Visit fasciaresearchdatabase.com to explore it.

Q: What is Fascia?

The old explanation describes fascia as a thin layer around a muscle, like what you see on a piece of meat. The new explanation: fascia is ONE system, without beginning or end, that maintains interconnection, communication and interaction between different parts of the body.

The fascia

Common questions about the connective tissue that holds us together and how we treat it.

"Let's Talk About Fascia" — a quick intro with Logan

The Old Explanation: "Thin layer around a muscle like what you see on a piece of meat. Goes in line with the old idea of a divided body, where fascia is what separates different parts and layers from each other."

The New Explanation: Fascia is ONE system, without beginning and end that maintains interconnection, communication and interaction between different parts of the body.

If you've ever put on a tight pair of pants—I'm talking about the ones where if you squat down too low, you're afraid they might rip—imagine the feeling of constriction.

This is what happens when your fascia is tight. Just like with a tight pair of pants, your movement is severely limited, tight fascia leads to a stiffer body.

Even deep tissue massage doesn't address deep fascia. The technique I use requires far more patience and precision. In a 90 minute session we can work on a couple of areas that are all interconnected. With massage, the practitioner is often doing the same routine on 6-8 clients throughout the day. In addition, I am far less susceptible to burnout of injury of my body which means better results for you.

There are amazing chiropractic practitioners out there. Unfortunately, the model for the mass chiropractic model is revolving door. I see many clients that have been going to chiropractors for years and have to keep going back. If the same issue keeps coming up it means the structural root cause of the problem isn't being addressed.

Rolfing is a different technique with a different system. My maestro Edu Gomez trained with the Rolfing institute but created a more intuitive approach that doesn't require a specific timeline/10 hr series. The technique I utilize is far more personalized to your needs and is in no way cookie cutter.

Ultimately, clients feel a tremendous amount of relief. I often hear things like: "I never knew I was in that much pain" or, "I always wanted someone to release this but no one could reach the area." At the end of the day, this technique will connect you more to yourself and your body which is the end goal. The more connected you become, the more free. There is a laundry list of other benefits. I'll let you experience them for yourself :)

If you are in an immense amount of pain, I would not be doing the technique correctly. Many clients say: "Its very intense but not painful." Or, "Its not necessarily comfortable but very relieving." I will teach breathing techniques and guide you along the way to support the process. ALSO: your body is never going to let me start on the most intense area. I can only begin where I am welcome. Through time we unwind area after area.

Nothing fancy needed. Hydrate yourself the day before. Avoid coffee/caffeine the day of. You'll be able to go into parasympathetic (a restful state) far easier without it. An open mind and curiosity are essential as they facilitate better results.

Spend the day feeling into your body. Drink a lot of high quality water such as Icelandic. DO NOT go to the gym and do heavy exercise. You will get best results by walking, feeling into your body and moving very slow. Your body will try to go back into old patterns. This is where the real work is done and prevents you from having to come back more.

Structure leads to better function ↔ Better function leads to better structure.

There are of course very specific conditions this might not support and in that case I will refer you out. Other than that, opening up the fascia will change the way you breathe, walk, and show up in the world. And since we view the body as one functioning unit, any support in improving structure and function means better health for your body and any conditions you're experiencing.

Fascia research has blown up in the past couple of years. But yeah, there is endless research. Visit fasciaresearchdatabase.com if you want to nerd out!
