Who doesn't know it? After a long period of sitting or repeated one-sided exertion, you begin to painfully feel one part or another of the body: slight tension, a feeling of tightness or your whole body feels constricted in a way. Besides an extensive yoga class – what helps? Simple: A regenerative session with Casall‘s fascia ball to treat your connective tissue and surrounding structures and to relax your nervous system.

What exactly does the treatment with the fascia ball do?

All muscles, all organs and the entire body‘s conduction system are enveloped and partly permeated by connective tissue. The entire connective tissue system of the body is called fascia, because it runs through and permeates the entire body. These collagen and elastin-containing structures provide your body with strength, elasticity and functionality. As all body structures are connected this way, mechanical forces and tensions are transmitted to and through the whole body.

Lack of exercise, one-sided movement, overload, stress, diet, lack of sleep, ageing and many other factors can influence our connective tissue. Acupressure can have a positive effect and counteract tensile stress and mobility restrictions. In contrast to deep-seated, punctual and long-lasting acupressure (therapeutic approach for treating deep-seated muscular disorders), "only" the surface structure can be treated with a fascia ball. This will help to water the connective tissue, to improve resorption (nutrient absorption) and to increase your movement ability in the short term. As a result, you will gain space and mobility in your fascia.

In the following article, we will focus on four body areas that often get stressed or that we use contrary to their original function due to our sedentary (sitting) lifestyle.

Note: Keep your focus on breathing steadily and calmly to support the effectiveness of self-treatment and to improve holistic regeneration.
