Fascia and Hydration: Restoring Fluidity and Supporting Whole-Body Wellbeing
Hydration is often associated with drinking more water. But true hydration—especially when it comes to fascia—is far more dynamic. Fascia, the living matrix that interweaves through every organ, muscle, and nerve, does not simply soak up water like a sponge. It requires movement, glide, and interstitial flow to remain supple, responsive, and resilient. Let’s explore…

Hypermobility and Fascia
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) are conditions that affect the connective tissue in the body. The microcellular components of connective tissue, known as the extracellular matrix (ECM), is the scaffolding that supports and connects various parts of our body. In people with HSD/hEDS, there are changes in this ECM within the…
Hypermobility and the fascia
by Dr Tina Wang Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) affect the body’s connective tissue, associated with changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) within the fascial system. These changes lead to inflammation and increased pain. One significant alteration is decreased stiffness and increased extensibility of connective tissues. Additionally, deep fascia, which envelops…

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and interoception
This article will take a brief look at the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and how this condition may impact an individual’s interoceptive abilities. What is Interoception? Interoception is the sense of the physiological condition of the body including sensations from within such as heartbeat, respiration rate, hunger, thirst, and visceral sensations. It plays…
