FASZIO® – Training in 7 Strategies
For more vitality and freedom of movement
The FASZIO® movement concept includes 7 strategies with which the fascial network is stimulated, strengthened, widened and made supple. The application makes individualized training possible, supports health maintenance, resilience and performance enhancement and takes all aspects of holistic training into account:
• Body structures require flexibility for free movement and alignment.
• Elasticity gives ligaments and tendons more tensile and restoring force.
• Loose connective tissue ensures the supply of the organism through fluidity.
• Functional muscle development requires power in the transmission pathways.
• Physical permeability is achieved by releasing blockages.
• Cells need periods of regeneration for optimum functionality.
• Information processing and transmission is stimulated by awareness.
If you make use of these properties, you support all the functions of the fascia and keep it healthy, resilient and vital in the long term:
Flexibility
Generate potential for length changes in the tissue

The topic of “stretching” has been discussed back and forth a lot in recent decades. With the new fascia knowledge, the various stretching options have become explainable. It’s all about who wants to achieve which goal at what time. In other words, you adapt your stretching behavior to the activity that you want to perform or have already performed in the short or long term. According to current knowledge, for example, bobbing stretches in the end-degree area can be useful before high-speed strength movements, and releasing long-stretching stretches afterwards. General fascial stretching fundamentally extends the range of movement. Different directions and forms of stretching loosen adhesions in the fascia and balance the body areas. This in turn leads to free mobility. Previously restricted functionality can be restored or prevented in advance.

Elasticity
Efficient use of the catapult effect and kinetic energy

This type of exercise energizes the body. It is able to stretch and center itself again – it remains elastic. This is important for speed and responsiveness, therefore shapes a firm body silhouette. Elasticity enables the catapult effect. Energy is charged through a preparatory counter-movement, which is then released again explosively, as in throwing, for example. The more the fascial pathways are involved, the more energy can be stored and released again. In addition to external movements, processes within the body such as breathing, heartbeat, sighing, blowing, speaking, singing, etc. also function via the catapult effect.

Fluidity
Expand movement skills and harmonize sequences

A well-functioning fascial network requires freedom of movement. Flowing movements with a wide radius create the greatest possible suppleness and gently release movement restrictions. This also requires a balanced environment in the fascial matrix to ensure that all body components can move in relation to each other. The resulting fluidity enables mobility between all fascial regions (muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and organs). The result is a functionality of the body that is suitable for everyday use. Overall, movement competence is enhanced and movement sequences are harmonized. This improves physical health, fall safety and a vital appearance.

Power
Strengthen fascial pathways and optimize transmission paths

Muscle activity is the catalyst for movement, while at the same time the fascial network stabilizes itself through muscle development. Muscles arrange themselves in long fascial pathways through the body. In this way, force transmission paths are formed criss-crossing the body, which reacts directly to and with each other and provides effective support. This happens in multiple and highly complex ways and turns every movement and posture into a whole-body task. This is why strength training that incorporates the pathways into the movements supports an overall performance. Some sections are particulary closely linked to each other in terms of force transmission – these are the main fascial pathways. The muscles that are embedded in the central fascial pathways are particulary important for stability. They provide an anchor for movement.

Release
Promote free flow and regulate basic substance

The fascia acts as a filter for all cells in the body. Among other things, the cells are supplied with fresh substances and waste products can be stored until they can be removed by the blood or lymphatic system. If the fascia filter is blocked, this exchange is minimized. The cell is no longer adequately supplied, dies or degenerates. In order to stimulate the metabolism again and thus strengthen general health (e.g. the immune system), the fascia is treated using releasing techniques (e.g. compression, lifting, wellness interventions). This optimizes the environment, transport capacity and mobility of the individual structures, balances tension and releases blockages. This creates more functional freedom in the fascia network and mental and emotional relaxation in various ways.

Regeneration
Vitalize body cells and find relaxation

Relaxation of the fascial network can be achieved through a mental and/or physical approach. The method of relaxation is individual and depends on the situation. This means that everyone must first find out what suits them in order to achieve inner balance. It is crucial that the nervous system can calm down and switch to regeneration. Well-known and tried-and-tested relaxation techniques such as autogenic training, meditation or similar can help, but taking breaks from exercise such as jogging, walking or Qi Gong can also be just as effective. We generally recommend supporting an alkaline fascial environment through your everyday lifestyle.

Awareness
Refine sensory, motor and emotional intelligence
Click here to read more about the Awareness strategy.
The fascia contains a large number of free nerve endings. If these are subjected to extensive and varied demands, they spread out within the fascia and become increasingly interconnected. This increases the basic ability to perceive and the general ability to react. Among other things, nerve receptors have the ability to send either predominantly pain or movement information to the brain. They are also able to prioritize movement stimuli over the sensation of pain, which can ensure survival in an emergency, but also means a high level of stress and should therefore not be part of everyday life. Perception means feeling oneself, classifying sensations in one’s own organism/system, training the sense of space/position and finding one’s way in relation to one’s environment. Perceptual competence is an essential basis for motor skills, emotional health and social behavior.
