Fascia remodelling requires regular stimulation at leaset 3-4 times a week.

You cannot remodel fascia by drinking powdered collagen. Although helpful in supporting the collagen matrix and cushioning nerves it does not replace the process of mechanical stimulation of the collagen tissues and fluid flow stimulation along fascial lines (meridian channels).

It is my experience after more than 30 years experience with various healing and movement systems that address tissue and nervous system regulation that learning a few exercises to address joint, nerve and metabolic issues does not do the trick. to heal chronic pain and repattern movements. Learning to understand neuro biology and gaining skills to selfcare for your fascia is an essential skills for a pain free and energy rich life experience alongside healthy eating, balanced sport and lifestyle.

Osteopaths stimulate sensations and experiences of health. But we still need to gain awareness and structure daily selfecare to integrate those experiences.
