Fascial Release for Emotional Trauma — Dr. Liza Sometimes emotional trauma or stressors can result in physical symptoms because the memory of the trauma is stored in the fascia. Fascia is a connective tissue, primarily collagen that forms a matrix throughout your body and helps to support overall structure, stabilize and to aid in movement. Think

Massage does more than just manipulate muscles. Massage can stretch and reflexibalise tightened tissue such as fascia and the seamless tissue layers connecting muscles, bones, and organs.
Massage can make movement easier through manually moved fluids that can loosen joints and reduce swelling.
Fluid build-up in arthritic joints may be reduced, alleviating swelling and pain. Also, the lymphatic flow can be improved through massage, stimulating and supporting the body's immune system.
Massage may also help increase blood circulation, which moves nutrients and waste products through the body and speeds healing.
