WHAT IS CONNECTIVE TISSUE?
It is a very tough, strong tissue, otherwise known as the myofascial system. Connective tissue is the support system of our body. All of the major systems in the body – circulatory, digestive, nervous, musculoskeletal, and organs – are ensheathed in the connective tissue. It also permeates each and every muscle.
A healthy and balanced connective tissue system’s characteristics are flexibility, elasticity, length and resilience. The tissue absorbs and responds to gravitational force, illness, injury, emotional trauma and plain everyday stress. Any of these factors will immediately, or over a period of time, cause an imbalance in the tissue system.
