Fascia surrounds each muscle, connects them to each other & penetrates deep inside them. It also connects muscles to tendons, ligaments & bone to form body wide, smart functional network. Fasica connects to all of your organs & systems too.
The first research into the effects of FST commenced in 1997 with founder Ann Frederick's thesis, found at www.stretchtowin.com.
