Facts About On Fascia and Myofascial release treatment

Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue, mainly made of collagen, a rope-like structure that provides strength and protection to many areas of the body. It surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. Science increasingly recognizes its importance in muscle and bone health.

Fascia is arranged in several ways. The closest to the surface is the Superficial fascia, which is underneath the skin between layers of fat. Then we have the deep fascia that covers the muscles, bones and blood vessels. Fascia, particularly the layers close to the surface, have been shown to have the second highest number of nerves after the skin. The fascial linings of muscles have also been linked to pain from surgery, musculoskeletal injuries from sports, exercise and ageing. A high percentage of people with musculoskeletal pain may have fascial involvement, and fascia may be the main cause. 

The superficial layer is the most accessible for therapeutic hands-on therapy. With that in mind, Dr. Uzi Broshi has developed techniques and treatment protocols to eliminate pain and to restore health and full function of the superficial fascia. When the fascia is healthy, the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints can follow and self-correct.
