Myofascial therapy

What is fascia?
Fascia is a connective tissue spread throughout the human body and constitutes about 20% of the body mass and surrounds all muscles, organelles, bones, nerves and blood vessels thus creating a unique environment for the body to function.

Did you know that?
1. Without fascia the muscles are not able to perform their functions, nor maintain their shape.
2. Fascia transmits information about movement, muscle tone, body condition and posture, pressure and pain to the brain plus the vegetative nervous system.

3. There are more sensory receptors in the fascia than in the muscle.
4. Fascia is constantly regenerating
5. A healthy fascial system is a healthy immune system.

What is the role of fascia?

Following multiple anatomical and physiological studies, it was concluded that it plays an essential role in maintaining all body functions.

1. Maintaining structural integrity
– The muscular system moves the joints, but coordination is absolutely dependent on the mechanical properties of the fascia.
– Internal organs maintain their shape and are attached to bones by fascia.

2. Protection and support
– Fascia protects the different anatomical structures against dangerous forces, tension or stress to which the body is subjected daily.
– In different parts of the body, for example at the periphery where there is an increased risk of injury, it becomes denser and thicker and in and around the joints, it becomes extremely strong and stable.
– Although it is strong it is not rigid.

3. Shock absorption
– Being elastic, fascia often reacts as a shock absorber to the forces to which the body is exposed.

4. Role in hemodynamic processes
– Fascia helps pump blood and lymph to the return circulation.
– When fascia contracts, it will compress the structures it covers.

5. Immune role
– This is the major aspect of fascia physiology, fighting pathogens and infections.

6. Role in metabolic processes

7. Fascia as a sense organ
– In all fascial structures there are nerves and blood vessels but also numerous receptors that provide information about all movements of the human body.

In which conditions can we use myofascial therapy?

Spinal muscle pain
Plantar fasciitis

Myofascial therapy comprises several treatment methods:

  • IASTM(Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)
  • CUPPING
  • MEDICAL FLOSSING
  • FOAM ROLLING
  • IASTM – includes several soft tissue mobilization techniques to identify and treat myofascial restrictions.

    How does IASTM work?

    Stainless steel utensils are used to remove adhesions and scars in the treatment of soft tissue dysfunctions.
    Treatment with instruments accelerates the self-healing process of the body, by mechanically influencing the soft tissues (fasciae), establishing re-education of myofascial tone and myofascial functional balance.

    IASTM effects:

    • increases the elasticity and mobility of the fascia
    • reduces pain by reducing tension in the fascia
    • regulates collagen levels, which helps the segment heal faster
    • increases the amount of fibroblasts in the affected region
    • improves local blood and lymphatic circulation.
    • influences posture in a positive way
    • prepares fascial tissue for manipulation and physiotherapy

    CUPPING – Cupping therapy

    The benefits of cupping therapy:
    -Aids myofascial relaxation
    -Regulates myofascial tone
    -Increases range of motion
    -Eliminates adhesions and treats scarring
    -Stimulates the self-healing process
    -Improves blood and lymphatic circulation

    MEDICAL FLOSSING

    This technique utilizes a latex elastic band and is used by applying a strong compression over a segment. The tape reduces myofascial adhesions and acts on the neuronal bioregulation system.

    Objectives:
    -Improving mobility
    -Reducing pain
    -Improving elasticity of muscles, tendons, ligaments
    -Improving blood circulation
    -Reducing muscle tension
    -Increasing range of motion of joints
