What's under the skin


We all have underneath the skin a wonderful supportive system call the Fascia.  Another probably more common word for it is connective tissue.  We all have heard of ligaments and tendons that are a part of it.  Connective tissue also includes the staffs that hold everything else together. It is like a stocking, which wraps and tightens every muscle and every organ in our body and connects them together. If you pull on one side of it the pull transfers everywhere else.  It offers support within the muscular structure and carries electrical charge. 

When our body is put under continuous physical stress the molecules of collagen will polarize along the lines on the electrical charge. They will also bind to each other creating an inelastic strap around your muscle that is always in action. Fascia will thicken up.
