The adrenal system promptly floods the body with adrenaline and stress hormones.

Digestion stops, skin chills, and blood is diverted into muscles in preparation for a burst of emergence action. 
Breathing quickens, the heart races and blood pressure skyrockets, infusing the body with oxygen while the liver releases glucose for quick fuel.

What is Fascia?

Fascia is tough connective tissue that creates a 3-dimensional web extending without interruption from head to toe. Fascia surrounds and infuses every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel, and organ, all the way down to the cellular level.

The fascial system affects every system and function in your body- musculoskeletal, neurological, metabolic, etc. The white, glistening fibers you see when you pull a piece of meat apart or when you pull chicken skin away is fascia.
