@meltcouplesmassage: Here's what happens to fascia during a massage. To simplify it; fascia relies on fluid to help your body move smoothly. Massage can affect how that fluid moves by redistributing fluid away from the area you're massaging and then allowing it to flood back in re-hydrating the tissues. And with so many layers of fascia it loves all types of massage. From relaxation to really deep tissue. Fascia can feel dry, this is the crunchy sound you hear when massaging over tension and knots
