The fascial flow band was designed as a self-applied tool to work out your kinks, provide a myo-fascial tune-up, and create a deeper somatic knowledge within yourself.

At the start, it could be to help that ache, ease tension, or stretch those shoulders of yours.

Later on, you might recognize this as a tool that can open you up into your fullest expression. Patiently, as much a tool for awareness as it is for action. Perhaps you'll just want to sling it around your back, cross your arms and give yourself a hug from time to time. Perhaps you'll create your own morning routine to wake yourself up for the day.

It's a long game, this optimization of our physical bodies. My wish is that the band brings some efficiency into your version of that.

You'll get out of the band what you desire out of it. Maybe it's more range of motion, less pain in a certain area, and certainly, it's more flow in your body.

Do read the full guides ahead. It is our greatest wish to ensure you feel educated about the journey and we value feedback to help refine it for future users.

The Flow band is a fantastic aid for both Static and Dynamic Stretching.

Static simply means still, or holding at a point in your range of motion.

You might hold it above your head to open up your shoulder mobility, making sure to breathe deeply in to open up new territory.

Or, you could loop it around your feet seated on the floor, using it to stretch your hamstrings, achilles tendon, or even work your back muscles to improve posture.
*Pro-Tip - You can hold the band with your hands OR your feet.

When stretching, remember this.
1. The flow band creates an additional line of, "Tensegrity" for your body. It gives your body a chance to adapt to new angles of force, while simultaneously giving other angles a break.
2. When doing any stretching or myofascial work, it's important to breathe deeply. This will help your body with it's natural vital processes, as well as ensure you feel safe in the process.
3. Stretching shouldn't hurt. It's not about forcing, but about encouraging.

The dual ring handles and secondary thumb slots are designed for a variety of grips and positions.

The ring handles can be held by the thumbs, four fingers, or even individual fingers at a time.

It's important not to stress your grip or stretch beyond your finger strength. Think about subtle force vs. pushing it too hard.

The secondary handles are available to add tension to stretches or provide holds for re-gripping the band.

Users often find the secondary slots ideal for the thumbs while fore-fingers can explore through the ring handles.

A tertiary option is to slide the hands and wrists through the ring handles to experience hands-free stretching and maneuvers in which the hands can also grip independently.

If fingers or thenar space between thumb and forefingers become sore, vary the grip or ease the resistance used. In cases of desired continued use, one could consider wearing gloves during use.

The band can also be gripped anywhere across it's span like a normal band. Ensure understanding of your grip-strength and the bands physical characteristics before attempting alternate grips.

The Fascial Flow Band was designed to amplify the Fascial Maneuvers modality developed by Human Garage to unwind, align, and optimize vital conditions for the body's inter-connective tissue.

A user trained in the modality or familiar with the basic 10 movements will find various ways to use the flow band during practice to release deeper tension in their fascia through contact stimulation & create structures of support for opening up into new postures.

It is recommended to first experience the 15-minute stress reset before using the band as an aid or accessibility tool for this modality.

One must know one's own hands are the most powerful tools for tissue optimization before taking it further with a tool like this.

Customers can expect a full guide of uses but are asked to keep in mind these three principles.

1. Start Slow.
2. Breathe Deeply.
3. Honor the Long Game.

1% better every day is worth lifetimes of over-exertion.

The flow band can add pressure, sensory stimulation, and opposing force to help you reach new places of mobility, tension relief and expression.

Your body will ask for time to integrate this new sensory information. Please honor that and stay hydrated!

Fascial Fitness is the original source for fascial oriented training. Developed by a core team of internationally renowned sport scientists, movement experts and fascial therapists in collaboration with the fascia research group Ulm/Germany led by Dr. Robert Schleip, Fascial Fitness provides a practical, research-based framework for optimizing the critical role of the fascia system in human movement.

Benefits of Fascial Fitness include:

• Increased Resiliency, Flexibility, and Range of Motion
