Title “Ever heard of FASCIA? If you have arthritis, fascia can be your friend or foe?”
Subtitle: New techniques to loosen fascia will help open joints, improve circulation,
increase mobility and minimize the pain associated with arthritis: Researched and
developed by a woman born with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA).
Lead In: Ashley Black, a lifelong victim of arthritis, a staph infection survivor, a hip
replacement recipient and mother of 3 has devoted her career to developing “outside of
the box” programs from the hopeless chronic pain patient to athletes in the NFL. One of
the MOST important systems in the body is the fascia system: penetrated by blood and
nerves, crossing every joint, literally encasing the entire human structure, yet 9 out of 10
people have never even heard of fascia. Black’s programs are designed to empower and
educate sufferers on the existence of fascia and how to perform simple techniques
without having to medicate, have surgery or even visit a therapist, that improve the
quality of life. Dr. Patt, MD, Ph.D and author of four books including “Understanding
Chronic Pain” says of Black’s techniques “I’ve sent (Black) you some of my most aged,
elderly, medically ill, even cancer patients who you've worked with right alongside your
athletes and teenagers. It REALLY WORKS FOR EVERYBODY!”
If you’ve ever eaten a piece of fried chicken and looked underneath the skin, there is a
white silky sheath or membrane, which is…chicken fascia. As humans, we have fascia
running from finger tip to finger tip, head to toe and from the deepest parts of our bodies
to just below the surface. It runs in long strips like the highway system on a map. The
fascia criss crosses, just like the interstates merge at major cities. In the human body,
the cities are our joints. Fascia is sticky and can adhere like a big ball of duct tape inside
the joint, trapping inflammation, restricting blood flow and pulling the joint closer together
like a jammed finger. What FEELS like arthritis, may be in part FACIA RELATED
SYMPTOMS! So is your fascia a foe?
Fascia can be our friend, with a little knowledge and few easy techniques, one can
manipulate their OWN fascia, to significantly reduce pain and begin a new approach to
living with arthritis. Black’s history with arthritis dating back to 4th grade has allowed her
to have a no nonsense approach to addressing the symptoms associated with arthritis.
She is personally pain free and does not take any medications to manage her RA. She is
now devoting her career to help the masses understand her discoveries and techniques
through designing programs for specific aliments and has passion around arthritis for
obvious reasons. In an article, Black will demonstrate in pictures, techniques readers
can try at home with an immediate result. With Medicare costs rising and benefits
declining, Black hopes to put the control back into the hands of the patient!
