    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.
