Abstract

Abstract Fascia is formed from a superficial fascia, a deep fascia, a perimysium fascia, a perimysium fascia, a endomysium fascia. There are 6 Center of Coordination (CC) on a perimysium fascia. There are 8 Center of fusion (CF) on a deep fascia. When these abnormalities occur, fascia densification, substrate gelation, and hyaluronic acid aggregation occur. Fascial dysfunction spreads over a wide range through the deep fascia, and the past history often becomes a problem. Treatments for this fascial dysfunction include Muscle Pain Relief, Myofascial Release, and Facial Manipulation. This time, I will explain about Myofascial Release and Fascial Manipulation with case examples.

Highlights

  • Injury, disuse, lack of exercise due to circulatory failure, repetitive movement and persistent poor posture can cause twisting of collagen fiber bundles and densification of the fascia, eventually leading to dehydration, hardening and gelation of the fascial matrix

  • Muscle fibers enter from the epimysium into the deep fascia and connect muscles across joints along 14 different arrangements

  • The point where vectors from two adjacent fascial units converge in a multiplanar, diagonal, composite motion method is referred to as the center of fusion (CF)

Summary

Fascial Dysfunction

Fascial degeneration can be caused by various factors. Mechanical trauma. Muscle fibers enter from the epimysium into the deep fascia and connect muscles across joints along 14 different arrangements. Even in a more complex fascial unit formed by many different muscle motor units, these forces converge on a single point. This exact point on the epimysium where muscle force vectors converge is referred to as the center of coordination (CC). Motion assessment (active/passive motion, stretching, resistance exercise) is performed to determine whether there is any pain, ROM restriction and/or muscle weakness These assessments are combined with assessment of CCs and CFs by palpation to assess each segment and arrangement
