When to Consult a Fasciatherapist
Fasciatherapy addresses a wide range of issues: chronic pain, fibromyalgia, trauma sequelae, stress, postural disorders, migraines, functional digestive disorders and sports support. Its gentleness makes it accessible to all ages and conditions.
Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
Particularly indicated for diffuse chronic pain including fibromyalgia. Research shows fibromyalgia patients' fascia present low-grade inflammation and abnormal densification. Studies at Fernando Pessoa University showed significant pain and fatigue improvement after 12 sessions.
Trauma Sequelae and Scars
Accidents, surgeries and births leave fascial adhesions creating distant mobility restrictions. Fasciatherapy releases scar adhesions and restores fascial sliding.
Stress and Exhaustion
Chronic stress rigidifies fascia through excess collagen production. Fasciatherapy's slowness activates the parasympathetic system, releasing accumulated tensions.
Postural Disorders
Scoliosis, kyphosis, excessive lordosis: postural imbalances often linked to fascial restrictions pulling the body into compensatory positions.
Sports Support
Injury prevention, recovery after effort, treatment of tendinopathies and plantar fasciitis.
Contraindications
