‘Moving Stretch – Work your Fascia to Free your Body’ by Suzanne Wylde
Fascia is a dense connective tissue which acts like a wetsuit under our skin, holding everything in place yet allowing the tissues to glide. When fascial restrictions occur it can become tight, thick and stuck together in places, which in turn can cause pain and restricted movement.
Moving Stretch presents a form of resistance stretching which combines movement and tension, helping us to work on our fascia, reconditioning it and releasing any areas that are tight and stuck. As well as providing valuable insights into stretching, fascia, resistance stretching and how to assess your own flexibility, this even has a section designed to help you stay motivated.
