Fascial plasticity – a new neurobiological explanation: Part 1 and Part 2
|
Fascia – what a fascinating tissue! Also known as dense irregularconnective tissue, this tissue surrounds and connects every muscle, even the tiniest myofibril, and every single organ of the body. It forms a true continuity throughout our whole body. Fascia has been shown to be an important element in our posture and movement organization. It is often referred to as our organ of form (Varela & Frenk 1987, Garfin et al.1981). Many approaches to manual therapy focus their treatment on the fascia. They claim to alter either thedensity, tonus, viscosity or arrangement of fascia through the application of manual pressure. |

Fascia Mobility, Proprioception, and Myofascial Pain
|
Anyone who has participated in a yoga class knows that some people are more “flex-ible” than others. We usually think of musculoskeletal flexibility as “loose” or “tight” joints—ligaments, joint capsules—and muscles. But another important part of the musculoskeletal system that tends to be overlooked is the network of fasciae. Although the clinical syndrome of “myofascial pain” remains poorly characterized, itis estimated to be present in approximately 30% of patients with chronic musculoskeletalpain in the back, neck, shoulder, hip, and pelvis as well as temporomandibular pain, and headache's. |
