In our daily routines, we are frequently caught with our heads bowed down to the ground as we go to work, during our shifts at work, and when we leave work.
Almost every person on the planet suffers from bad posture. In offices, at restaurants, and at the gym, it is typical to see a forward head position, rounded shoulders, internally rotated arms, and anterior-tilted pelvis.
If these habits are not addressed, injury rates rise, breath and mood may be hampered, and performance may be affected.
We were born with all of the athletic ability and capacity we need as infants, yet because of our current lifestyle, our biology has deteriorated.
What is Fascia & Joint Capsules?
Fascia is a network of connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, nerves, bones, organs, and joints; you would fall apart if it weren't for your fascia.
A joint capsule is a type of connective tissue that surrounds joints and aids in the function of the joint as well as providing nourishment.
When fascia and joint capsules are restricted, it can lead to a number of problems:
- Joint space has narrowed, causing degenerative joint diseases and osteoarthritis.
- Tendonitis and tendon rupture develop as a result of overuse.
- The increased tone of nervous tissue can cause headaches, trigger points, and muscular constriction.
- Tissue growth results in tissue scarring.
- Blood flow and energy levels have decreased.
- …and much more…
What Clients Say About Us
This is like Magic!
I've been to see Chantel at Performance Bodyworks three times now over the past couple of months. I can't even begin to describe the magic she is able to do-- through her stretch therapy, she is able to release all the tension I have in the different parts of my body so I am able to walk out of her office feeling a million times better and less stressed than when I initially walked in. I'm able to achieve with her what I have never been able to achieve even with the deepest of deep tissue massages. If you have chronic tension/pain/knots, I would highly recommend you go to Performance Bodyworks for a stretch therapy session ASAP.

Enjoying greater mobility!
I have begun stretch therapy with Chantel to assist with chronic knee pain. She was able to suggest some ways to help and I enjoyed greater mobility after the appointment.
