Are you searching for a Fascial Release Technique provider Near By?
Robyn Pester Physical Therapy is a certified provider and instructor of Fascial Abrasion Technique in Eugene.
Fascial Abrasion Technique (FAT) specifically targets and loosens the fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects us from our toes to our head, surrounds our muscles, provides significant sensory feedback from structures called proprioceptors, and is responsible for both quality and quantity of movement.
Exercise tends to squeeze water out of the fascia, leaving it with areas that may become stiff and brittle as well as vulnerable to injury.
How Fascial Abrasion Technique Works:
The FAT tool is unique in that it has a textured surface that helps lifts up the fascia and quickly teases loose the adhesions. This allows the fascia to return to a more resilient and healthier version of its previous self. It never leaves bruising and is a light technique that is comfortable to the client.
Developed by Sports Track & Field Chiro Dr. Mark Scappaticci in 2007, the Fascial Abrasion Technique has become one of the go to soft tissue treatments for both professional and recreational athletes to recover, stay healthy and perform at their best.
Fascial Abrasion Technique entails identifying, isolating, and targeting the affected area to break up scar tissue. When combined with active motions by the client, it is highly effective at improving mobility, proprioception and mobility.
This promotes blood flow, faster healing, increased proprioception and improved motor control.
