New Technique by Tomoko Ozawa!

Gentle Touch Approach for Full-Body Alignment

Fascia is the connective tissue that links the entire body, connecting the interior and exterior like a bodysuit. When fascial adhesions are released, blood circulation, lymphatic flow, and organ function improve, resulting in overall body alignment. Effleurage with gentle touch is the optimal technique for fascial release. This DVD explains in detail the basic knowledge of fascia, release techniques, effects, and area-specific approaches.

—Tomoko Ozawa (Representative of Effective Touch Salon & School)

What is Fascia? In anatomy, it's the connective tissue collectively called fascia. Unlike muscle fascia (epimysium, perimysium, endomysium), it's primarily collagen fiber tissue covering organs, bones, muscles, fat, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and other tissues.
