Massage induces an increase in muscle stem cell number – Fascia & Fitness September 12, 2019 Massage induces an increase in muscle stem cell number We need to have an understanding of the physiological mechanisms of massage. It is also important to establish how massage affects not only injured muscle but healthy skeletal muscle at all ages. Recent research indicates that...

Fibromyalgia Linked to Gut Bacteria for First Time In a paper published today in the journal Pain, a Montreal-based research team has shown, for the first time, that there are alterations in the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tracts of people with fibromyalgia.

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.

What is Fascia made of ?
Fascia consists of a complex which has three parts:
1. Elastin fibers - This is the elastic and stretchable part of the complex.

2. Collagen fibers - These fibers are extremely tough and give support to the
structure.

3. Ground substance/matrix: A gelatinous like substance that transports metabolic
material throughout the body

What does fascia do?
The fascial system generally supports, stabilizes, and cushions. Fascia creates separation between vessels, organs, bones, and muscles. It creates space through which delicate nerves, blood vessels, and fluids can pass.

What are Fascial Restrictions?
In a healthy state, the collagen fibers wrap around the elastic fibers in a relaxed, wavy configuration. Trauma, repetitive motion, inflammation, or poor posture can cause the fascia to become solidified and shortened. These thickened areas are referred to as a fascial restriction. Fascial restrictions have the capacity of creating up to 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch in a restricted area. That crushing pressure can compromise any physiological system in the body resulting in pain and dysfunction.

The fascia throughout the body is all interconnected like the yarn in a sweater or a complex spider web. A restriction in one area of the body creates tension throughout this web pulling on other distant structures. This explains why some people may have pain that appears unrelated to their original injury. Furthermore, myofascial restrictions do not show up on common standardized tests such as x-rays, MRI, CAT scans, etc.

Fascial restrictions can pull the body out of its normal alignment, compressing joint surfaces and bulging disks, resulting in pain, loss of motion, and weakness.

What makes joints pop and crack and is it a sign of disease? Clicking joints tend to run in families. Here's what causes it.

Great find by Dr. Tony Branker, DC, MS, CCSP!

Technique Tuesday: MAT for Clicking Jaw Syndrome

A systematic review by Medlicott and Harris found that active exercise, manual mobilizations, and postural training might be effective in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. However, many therapists choose not to treat the condition unless the client is experiencing pain. I believe this represents a missed opportunity to address anatomical and functional problems in their early stages.

When the head and neck move forward in the sagittal plane, the brain’s visual proprioceptors cause the occiput to backward-bend on atlas. This remarkable brain stem (Law of Righting) reflex forces the occiput to hyperextend on atlas to level the eyes against the horizon… even if it means ravaging the neck and jaw. With the head and neck jutted forward, passive tensile forces develop in the hyoid and digastric muscles as the brain compensates for the forward head carriage by retracting the cranium via the jaw muscles. Prolonged hypercontraction stresses the TM joint as the mandible translates posteriorly and inferiorly…a condition called jaw retrusion. In Myoskeletal Therapy, we begin by creating a level platform at the occipitoatlantal (O-A) joint and then perform a basic TMJ routine such as the one shown in the accompanying video. Please click here to read more and view the TMJ treatment video. https://bit.ly/2IpMoO1

Paul will be teaching Myoskeletal Techniques for aligning the head on neck for conditions such as TMJ in his March 16-17th Houston workshop. Pls. click here for additional info and to enroll: https://erikdalton.com/workshops/houston-march/
