Exploring Fascia Release for Dimpled Skin. Hands up if cellulite is your nemesis! Welcome, fellow cellulite fighters, as we delve into the battle today. Cellulite, that stubborn, dimpled skin, arises when underlying fatty tissue presses against the connective tissue known as fascia. As a massage therapist, I’m well-versed in various bodywork techniques to aid clients in cellulite reduction, yet I sought a treatment applicable to professional use and self-care. Enter: fascia release.
To grasp this process, let’s briefly discuss fascia. It’s the intricate web of connective tissue enveloping muscles and organs, akin to the dense, fibrous layer of an orange peel. Fascia encases our muscles and pervades our body, purportedly influencing cellulite formation. This occurs when fibrous bands tether the skin to muscle, creating dimples as fat accumulates between them.
Before advocating any treatments, I experiment with them personally to ensure efficacy and suitability for recommendation. Thus, I embarked on a six-week journey with the Fascia Release Kit and now share my results. Full disclosure: alongside my usual exercise regimen and balanced diet, I incorporated these tools into my routine. Remarkably, the Fascia Release Kit diminished my cellulite appearance, expedited post-workout recovery, and enhanced muscle tone in treated areas. Initially, opt for lighter sessions once a week, gradually increasing intensity. To avoid bruises and tenderness— If bruising occurs, pause and resume once healing begins.
Here’s my preferred fascia release routine that yielded the best results for me:
- Begin by internally warming up your body, body brush, and externally prepare the treatment area, either with a hot bath or a heating blanket. This step is crucial to increase blood flow and oxygenation to the area, priming it for treatment. Optionally, gently massage your skin with the Fascia Release Brush to further enhance circulation.
- Apply Shrinking Violet Slimming Oil to the targeted area. Remember, the Fascia Release Brush is designed to be used directly on the skin with oil, not over clothing.
- Using the Fascia Release, gently glide it over your skin in upward and horizontal motions, avoiding circular movements. Spend three to five minutes on each area, ensuring thorough coverage.
- Repeat the process on other areas of your body as necessary. For instance, if treating one leg, remember to repeat the procedure on the other leg to maintain balance.
- Conclude the session by massaging the treated area or using the Fascia Release Brush in upward strokes. Massage in any excess Shrinking Violet Slimming Oil.
Prioritize hydration by drinking ample fluids before and after your treatment to maintain hydration levels. Consider indulging in a cold shower or applying cold packs to alleviate any swelling. Embrace the experience, and I sincerely hope you achieve remarkable results, just as I did.
