Why Fascia Matters

By Debbie Wyer on 16 September 2025

Ever wondered why tension, stiffness, or fatigue don’t just “go away”? The answer often lies in your fascia, the connective tissue that weaves through your entire body. Stress, injury, and everyday habits can create “stuck stress,” affecting everything from posture to pain.

This brilliant short video shows exactly why fascia, the connective tissue that runs through your entire body, matters so much when it comes to pain, posture, recovery, and stress.

Short on time? The key section starts around 6 minutes in.

It clearly explains how injuries, emotional stress, and everyday habits can create “stuck stress” in the body, literally changing how you move and feel over time. What starts as tension or fatigue can gradually become pain, stiffness, poor posture, or burnout.

And this is exactly why I’ve brought the MELT Method into the studio.

MELT is a gentle, guided, self-care technique that helps you:

Rehydrate and support your fascia
Improve alignment and posture
Release tension before it becomes chronic
Calm your nervous system and restore balance

Unlike traditional stretching or intense workouts, MELT isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about giving your body what it truly needs—the opportunity to reset, reconnect, and release what it's been holding onto. It’s small, intentional steps that lead to lasting change.

If you’ve been feeling stiff, heavy, drained, or like your body just isn’t bouncing back the way it used to, MELT can help you feel more supported, more balanced and more you.

You can now experience MELT as part of a regular class or join one of my dedicated short courses. Each session is designed to be accessible, caring, and effective, whether you're completely new or have been moving for years.

You deserve to feel good in your body.
You don’t have to just “put up with” discomfort.
There is something you can do—gently, safely, and with support.
