Frequently Asked Questions

Fascia, also known as connective tissue, is our largest body organ system.
Composed of collagen, elastin and water - it can get dry, and restricted with age, activity level, surgeries, injuries and wounds.

Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has the appearance of a spider’s web that binds parts together, but at the same time separates them. It delivers nutrients and energy throughout the body, while also giving us structure, stability, and form. 

It is very densely woven, covering and penetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as all of our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. It does not show up in X-rays, MRI or CT Scans. Fascia is our links 70-80 Trillion Cells, 900 ligaments, 622 muscles, 206 bones, 360 joints,1,000 lymph nodes, 45 miles of nerves and 60K miles of blood vessels, veins, capillaries. When it gets hard, dry and crusty through age or injury, it impinges our arteries, veins, nerve and lymphatic pathways.

Fascial Health has been identified as the The Missing Link in Health and Fitness.

The Fascianator Method is a natural solution for chronic pain relief due to dry, tight and fascial adhesions... and so much more!

The Fascianator Method of rolling is a form of self-myofascial release (SMR), using a special roller called The Fascianator. The diameter and density is perfect for reaching important areas where there are concentrated lymph nodes, and neuromuscular bundle perforations.

This toe to head process includes all the places that are important to roll to maintain a happy, healthy and vibrant mind and body. It Includes 128 muscles and other structures such nerve plexuses and neurovascular bundle perforations. Includes specific fascial structures linked to the brain, diaphragm, organs ((visceral fascia), lymphatics, and pelvic floor. 

 This approach helps neutralize musculoskeletal imbalances top to bottom, front to back and left to right, giving you the opportunity to feel pain free, with greater range of motion and flexibility!

The Fascianator Roller vs. Foam Roller

The Fascianator roller is made with earth friendly post-consumer ABS tubes made from recycled plastic. Tube covering is made with earth friendly post-consumer recycled padding with the best density /thickness for comfort. 

• The Fascianator is smaller in diameter, offering a better center of gravity for the user, making it easier to use and reduce the fear of falling off.
• The diameter (3 1/2 ") can fit into smaller spaces of the body where the neurovascular bundles and lymph nodes are located.
• Three length sizes: Standard 20", Original 26" and Travel size - 12"
• The density is more firm than traditional foam rollers, which, when used in conjunction with the Fascianation Method, allows deeper feel and greater embodiment results over the long term.
• The Fascianator does not deform with repeated use like traditional foam rollers.
• Numerous color cover choices, which can be washed and disinfected - unlike porous nature foam rollers
• Comes with a fully comprehensive Fascianation Method Manual
• Significant positive & efficacious results
• Free from " specially designed bumps" that actually interfere with the communication of the fascial to the brain.

We encourage you to notice how you feel before – during and immediately after you roll, taking note of improved range of motion, flexibility, less joint and muscle pain, overall sense of well- being and energy. Immediately after rolling the head and neck, some may feel dizzy/vertigo symptoms. Be sure to sit up slowly – and the dizziness will resolve.

Please drink plenty of water, suggesting ½ your body weight in ounces or more.  You may want to consider taking a magnesium based, Epsom salt bath as well. 

Increased: oxygenated blood flow into tissues, venous drainage of blood returning to the heart, lymphatic drainage and waste product elimination, quality of sleep, range of motion in the joints.
Decreased: Dural tension, fewer, less severe headaches, peripheral edema

Everyone has their own personal story of pain, struggles and frustrations. I love hearing how Fascia Fitness Online is providing a platform to meet people where they are to help them overcome fascial pain, stiffness and limited range of motion.  You can check out the Testimonials Page for encouragement and inspiration!

Maintaining one’s myofascial integrity is important to maintain quality of life.
It takes 6-24 months for fascia to remodel—restore and maintain change. The benefits of self-myofascial release accumulate over time. While Rolling daily is ideal, when you roll the recommend three times a week or every 48 hours, you will see significant accumulative benefits over time.

Contraindications – If the area is swollen and red. If there was a recent injury (within 48 hours). If there are screws, rods, etc. present from previous surgeries (explore modifications). Please consult your physician if you have other questions.

Considered “the missing link”, self-myofascial release is recommended to prepare your tissues for work and recovery. Barring any recent injury or acute inflammation, you can roll any time. Some like to roll as soon as they wake up in the morning, others before they go to bed at night to help them to relax. Think of this process as the “reset button” for your tissues. 

You may feel a “gritty” or tender sensation as you roll your feet and tissues. Some experience “knots or lumps as they roll. It is important to pause and go slow and allow “autogenic inhibition” (resetting of the resting state muscle tone) to take place. You may feel tension and emotions leaving your body, be sure to breathe in and exhale as you roll. We like to refer to the pain as pain leaving the body!

Self-myofascial release elicits the release of toxins that have been locked up in our tissues- back into the bloodstream. To flush out these toxins, avoid headaches or achiness - hydration is essential.

Please drink plenty of water, suggesting ½ your body weight in ounces or more.  You may want to consider taking a magnesium based, Epsom salt bath as well.

 🔸1:1 Instruction  $69

Your Fascianator Roller, Gua Sha Scraper recommended but not essential, yoga blocks (if you have shorter arms – but not essential), and a mat if you have hard floors. Don’t forget your water – as we hydrate throughout the class.

 It is best if you can login and view Zoom Classes with a laptop computer and set your view to SPEAKER View.  This way I can see you really well and you can see me.  To make even better - you can "cast" your computer ( tablet or phone) to a smart TV for a full size view

You will be moving and using the roller on the floor. Yoga/ fitness clothing generally works well. You will want to wear comfortable, but not baggy clothing as not to get caught up in the roller.  

A standard yoga mat works great if you have hard floors.

If you are rolling at home, many find using a yoga mat on the carpet will cause it to buckle up.  You may want to consider getting a set of 6 puzzle mats, and duck-tape them on the backside to keep them together. 

While spot rolling has been standard practice and can be done to help address problem areas, full-body fascia release is optimal. Our fascial web is a continuous 3-dimensional and is inner-connected from head to toe. Most times, where you feel pain, is not where it began, and by rolling the whole body, you are able to address and optimize your fascial, lymphatic, and nervous system. With the Fascianator Method we roll bottom to top, side to side and front to back.

Some may experience autogenic inhibition – where the limb, hands or feet, may begin a gentle involuntary shaking. This is your brain telling your muscles to relax. The roller is then allowed to help the muscle to lengthen and become more consistent in how it pulls on bony attachments.

If you are curious about how you can better support the nutritional health of your fascia- I provide information that could be as transformational for you as self-myofascial release!

Your fascia, being your largest body organ system can greatly benefit from activated nutrition. I highly recommend activated nutrition products my family has been using for over a decade.  I always recommend individuals start with Nrf2 activation and activated collagen.  You can learn more about these products on the Nutrition.

The Fascianator  Method helps make a positive impact on your nervous system, lymphatic system, and circulatory system.

What is the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. 

The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system. The vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered. The tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system.

There are hundreds of lymph nodes in the human body found from the head to around the knee area. The Fascianator Method helps you to make a positive impact on your lymphatic system as we roll where there are concentrated levels of lymph nodes: the lower leg, into the groin, pectoral area, and the side of the neck. 

You can think of nerves as your body’s electrical wiring — they transmit signals between your brain, spinal cord, and the rest of your body. 
There are 6-10 x more nerve endings in our Fascia. When our fascia is hard and dry due to age, injury, past surgery, or disease, it can elicit a pain response. With the Fascianation Method - we are able to help hydrate dried fascia which may be contributing to nerve impingement and pain in our body. We roll 52 parts of our body - which allows us to hydrate and create healthy stimulations of our nervous system! Many experience an emotional as well as pain release with self-myofascial release.Believe it or not, there are over 7 trillion nerves in the human body. All these nerves are part of what’s known as your body’s nervous system. 

The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is a vast network of organs and blood vessels that acts both as a delivery and waste removal system for the body. Nutrients, oxygen, and hormones are delivered to every cell and as these necessities are provided, waste products.

A neurovascular bundle is a structure that binds nerves and veins (and in some cases arteries and lymphatic pathways with our fascia/connective tissue so that they travel in tandem through the body. Located in the groin/prostrate, neck, lower limb, arms, thigh, and hands. Using the Fascianator Method of self-myofascial release, we are able to reach these areas and hydrate our fascia connective tissue to help improve the function and flow of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous system.
