An Introduction To Myofascia & Myofascial Therapies And Taping
Myofascia refers to the connective tissues that hold our body together
. It includes the ligaments, tendons, periosteum, and sheaths. These connective tissues, also called fascia, form one single web like structure and connect our muscles, organs, skin, and other body tissues together.
Myofascial therapies include natural methods for treating muscles and fascia and all other body parts and structures affected by it. For instance, if there is pain in hands, wrist, shoulders, neck, or upper and lower back, a myofascia therapist will focus on treating the patients myofascial structure as a whole than just concentrating on the affected area. Myofascial therapies adopt a holistic approach for treatment of any ailments or disorders related to the neuro-musculoskeletal system.
Myofascial taping and manual Myofascial therapies are similar to reflexology and other alternative medicine. The myofascia therapist uses his systemic reasoning, intuition and skill to assess the cause of the pain and thereby treats the whole-body patterns and imbalances. The myofascia therapist can also treat tight trigger points to release the pressure on swollen or injured soft tissues. This is because if one section of the myofascia is tight, it puts restrictions on other structures as well.
Pain in the SI joint is often caused by dysfunction of the TMJ followed by restrictions in the myofascia that are connected to the low back, sacrum and hip, as well as from myofascial restrictions elsewhere too.
