There’s this idea floating around that muscles are the star of the show. Build them. Stretch them. Strengthen them. But when it comes to fascia vs muscle, there’s no real contest — fascia is what runs the show.
Your muscles are just stupid pieces of meat.
They don’t think. They don’t initiate. They don’t stabilize or protect you. They do what they’re told — and what tells them what to do is your fascia.
Fascia is the complex web of connective tissue that gives your body structure, transmits force, absorbs impact, and controls the way you move — or don’t move. It’s what shapes your posture, influences your pain patterns, and determines your ability to recover.
And yet, most people are training around fascia — claiming they’re working it, but not following how it actually needs to be trained. Even worse, they’re often destroying it with tools or programs that pretend to target fascia but do the exact opposite.
Stretching muscles, loading muscles, isolating muscles… and wondering why they’re still tight, still in pain, still not performing like they want.
💡 So What’s the Problem?
Training your body like a dumb machine ignores how your system actually works. If your fascia is tight, disorganized, or overloaded, it doesn’t matter how many reps you do or how “strong” your muscles are. You’ll keep reinforcing the same dysfunctional patterns.
That’s why most people plateau. Or get injured. Or end up in my office after going through 5 different physical therapists and chiropractors.
Because muscles aren’t the problem.
Fascia is the system.
And when you work with the system — not just the parts — everything changes.
🚫 Stop Blaming Age. Stop Blaming Injury.
I hear this every day:
“Well, I’m just getting older.”
“It’s because I used to play sports.”
Nope. It’s because you’ve never been taught how your body actually functions. You’ve been trained by a fragmented model.
But your body is whole.
It’s connected.
And it’s smarter than the programs you’ve been sold.
