Service:Myofascial add another, change

Myofascial techniques (Connective Tissue Massage) are specialized stretching techniques used by therapists to treat patients with a variety of soft tissue problems. This soft tissue can become restricted due to disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow. This restriction can be transmitted through the fascia to other parts of the body, causing pain and a variety of other symptoms in areas you often wouldn't expect.

           

To understand how it works, you have to understand a little about fascia. Fascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia is a thin tissue that covers every muscle and every fiber within each muscle. Myofascial restrictions can create pressure on pain sensitive structures that do not show up in many of the standard tests (x-rays, myelograms, CAT scans, electromyography, etc.) Myofascial techniques treat these symptoms by releasing the uneven tightness in injured fascia.
