What’s Fascial Unwinding?
Like Craniosacral Therapy. ‘fascial unwinding’ originated in osteopathy and the term was originally coined to describe the involuntary, spontaneous, movements that many clients experience during treatment sessions.
When fascia gets tight it can impair breathing, compress the spinal vertebrae, put pressure on the spinal cord and nerve pathways, encouraging restricted mobility and function, which can contribute towards issues such as headaches, neck pain, back pain, frozen shoulder and chronic patterns of fatigue and ill health.
The aim of Fascial unwinding is to support the body in unwinding interwoven areas of tension, in whatever way it needs to, so the body can return to a more open, freer more fluid state.
What’s Fascia?
As the web that connects the trillions of cells in our body, the fascial system, clearly demonstrate how all parts of the body work together. If any part of the fascia is twisted, pulled and imbalanced, it will affect the whole body in some way.
After decades of being ignored and discounted in science, fascial researchers, have begun to recognise fascia, as a whole-body system in its own right, that holds onto memory physically and emotionally.
A Whole-Body Approach
When we experience discomfort or pain, there’s a tendency to focus in on that area, although that’s not usually, where the core of the problem, actually is.
For example, the pelvis, legs and feet can be a major cause of issues further up the body, including headaches and neck and shoulder pain.
Hence an old ankle sprain unwinding and coming back into place, may resolve an acute pain in the shoulder, whilst the pelvis coming back into alignment, may unwind chronic tension in the shoulders and the jaw. Unwinding often results in a reduction of discomfort or pain in the body.
It truly is miraculous how the body works !
