Fascia is More Than Meets The Eye!

Fascial Tissue is much more than the covering around the muscles. It is the connective tissue that holds you together. Fascial tissue lives on many layers: it covers the muscles, the veins and arteries, heart, lungs, intestines,  even the nerves. Fascial tissue is responsible for 40% of every muscle’s contraction and, at some level, is responsible for 95% of the pain you feel through your entire body! 
The more we learn about Fascial tissue, the more we are able to effectively treat and heal. Fascial tissue is incredibly neurological and responsive to treatment.

Types of Distortion

FOLDING DISTORTION:
Symptom: deep ache in the joint that feels like it restricts movement but, when tested, range of motion is normal.
Problem: accordion-like fascia gets stuck after opening or closing too far. 
Warning: distortion is permanent if not treated. 

CYLINDER DISTORTION:
Symptom: bizarre symptoms such as pain that fluctuates or jumps from one area to another, numbness, tingling, tremor, impression of swelling.
Problem: coiled fascia under the skin gets tangled.
Warning: conventional physician may refer patient to a psychiatrist. 

Tectonic Fixation:
Symptoms: Joint that won’t move.
Problem: fascial layers are stuck to each other and not gliding.

TRIGGERBAND DISTORTION:
Symptom: Burning, pulling, pain along a line 
Warning: Stay away from heat or electric stim.

Herniated Triggerpoint:
Symptom: ache, pinching, or catching
Problem: Tissue is protruding through a rupture in a layer of fascia.
Warning: HTPs are permanent without treatment.

CONTINUUM DISTORTION:
Symptom: a specific spot of pain on a bone
Problem: sudden movement disrupts the fascia’s fluid connection to the bone
