A closer look

Continuous, uninterrupted webs of connective tissue called fascia physically weave through your entire body, wrapping around every single muscle, bone, nerve, and major organ like biological cling wrap. This tension-based network holds your entire physical structure together and heavily dictates your overall flexibility, meaning a tight spot in your foot fascia can literally cause immense physical pain pulling all the way up into your neck. Your body is basically a complex marionette puppet constructed entirely of tension bands, where one minor structural failure cascades into a full-body structural crisis. This completely justifies why sleeping with your wrist positioned slightly weirdly ends up making your left shoulder feel like it was violently struck by a baseball bat for the entirety of your workday
