#deepscience Dysfunctional Fascia. What does it look like? What is it caused by? And how do we treat it?
Cellulite, swelling and puffiness are your most common culprits of Dysfunctional Fascia. Fascia works like a stocking. It's a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fibre and muscle in place.
When it becomes stagnant from poor diet, injury, sitting for prolonged periods of time, dehydration, stress, poor sleep quality and more it can form dimples in our skin, causing it to innately become tight or non-functioning.
Our copper Sculpting Gua Sha tool is specifically designed to help massage the fatigued muscles, stimulate blood and lympahtic circulation and release the fascia to return it to its optimal state. Working in upwards sweeping strokes, Contour reduces the tension and puffiness in those stagnant areas to improve overall smoothness and skin texture.
