It is the official possition of Fit Body Shop that we are all one unit, one body, one person.  Our body functions as one being and for a while I have known this but had trouble putting it into words.  I could tell you why if you stubbed your toe, your back hurt, but not always why when I'm working on your shoulder, you can feel down to your toes.

Often I would remind my client that we are all connected.  You cannot seperate any body part and give it to me for the afternoon.  Its not like dropping off your car at the shop.  Well, our body is very well connected.  Not only do muscles and joints directly affect other muscles and joints, but we also have an extremely amazing fascial system.  The fascial system is very detailed connective tissue holding together every cell and system of our body.   It is quickly becoming known as the largest sensory system of the body.  Because it directly touches each system and it is one seamless piece of tissue, it has drastic effects on the body when damaged, traumatized or over stressed.  It can restrict motion, cause nerve pain, stiffness, weakness and muscle imbalance.  This system needs to be treated with myofascial release, a slow, easing treatment that will restore proper tension in all tissues.  I integrate this with other techniques for full recovery.

Just because you hurt in one spot, doesn't mean another area isn't causing the pain or isn't being stressed.  Treat the whole body as it all has to work together.  Mechanics, Fuel & Perform at your optimal potential!
