Age-Related Fascial Disorders

3-pillar approach from a fascial perspective:

To address fascial health, a 3-pillar approach is recommended: manual therapy, movement therapy, and integrative medical care.

Manual Therapy:

• Seek a therapist to work on densified, thickened fascia.
• Choose the type of manual therapy that suits you—deep tissue for those who tolerate intense pressure, or lighter osteopathic techniques if you prefer gentler touch. 

Movement Therapy:

• Regular movement is crucial to keep the fascia gliding smoothly.
• Work with a movement therapist based on your specific needs, especially if you find movement intimidating.

Medical Team:

• A comprehensive care team will help address medications and medical workup.
• A comprehensive care team should include a counselor/psychologist, specialist physicians, primary care provider, alternative healthcare provider, etc.
