Your fascia is a sort of spider-web of dense tissue which surrounds and attaches to all kinds of structures in your body. Normally \u2013rather, in a healthy state- your fascia is relaxed and can stretch and move as you do. Over time however, due to stress, trauma, poor habits (slouching, for instance) your fascia can undergo changes which lead to restricted mobility, tension and even pain. Myofascial release consists of massaging and stretching the fascia to relieve pressure and tightness.\r\n\r\n

The class takes place on Mondays from 4:10-5pm in the Fitness Studio (which you\u2019ll find on the top tier of the Strength and Conditioning Centre). I\u2019m really excited to be learning this therapy and to see what it may do for me as I train harder than ever before this term.\r\n\r\n

Not to mention, I love the Fitness Studio. It\u2019s so open and bright, it\u2019s such a simple, feel-good space.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nNow, let me be clear: myofascial release isn\u2019t just for athletes. Most of us \u2013as students slouching over textbooks and hauling heavy backpacks - carry a lot of tension and you may be surprised to see how much better you feel when you\u2019ve worked some of that tension out.\r\nI went to my first class this past week and learned some great techniques for relieving tension in the quads and hamstrings. I enjoy the fact that I now have a regularly scheduled 50 minutes dedicated to recovery and stretching -with a busy schedule it\u2019s been easy for me to skip over this important part of any exercise regime. I\u2019m looking forward to employing the things I learn for years to come so that I can live my active lifestyle as long as humanly possible.\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll find it listed under Strength and Conditioning on the KPE website. While you\u2019re online, why not browse the newly redesigned website and make sure you aren\u2019t missing out on other valuable classes offered this semester.\r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That moment when you realize you\u2019re training in as many sports this term as you are completing courses\u2026\r\n\r\n
