What is fascia?
Fascia: shell, sheet or any other distributed cluster of the connective tissue formed under the skin to attach, apply, separate muscles, and other internal organs.
Fascial system: a network of interacting, interconnected, interdependent tissues, forming a complex whole, all cooperate for traffic.
Large fascial networks, including power transmission, sensing functions, and wound healing.
• fascial system consists of three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose and dense fibrous connecting tissues, which permeates the body. It includes fat tissue, advention and neurovascular shell, aponeurosis, deep and surface fascias, epineuria, joint capsules, links, membranes, tendons, visceral fascia, and all intramuscular connective tissues, including endo- / peri- / epimizy.
• fascial system interpenets and surround all organs, muscles, bones, and nerve fibers, giving the organism a functional structure and providing the environment that allows all systems of the body to work integrated.
• allows you to jump, react to load, and is able to regulate it
• the fascia is constantly renewing
• without fascia, muscles cannot function, keep its shape
• the number of receptors in the fascia is much higher than the number of receptors in the muscles
• fascia gives information about movement, condition, stress, pressure and pain in the brain and autonomic nervous system
Functions
1. Connection – one of the most essential features: supporting function / every blood vessel is surrounded fascial coating that connects with surrounding fabrics
2. Protection – protects against gravity and pressure, stress, injury and invasion of objects (with skin) stabilizes and protects our bodies
3. Transportation – takes care of the transportation of lymph fluid
4. Power transfer and stability – fascia itself can, thanks to small contractive cells, to build tension and maintain the strength developing from muscle. also, it transfers power to muscles. Continuum coatings, partitions, tunnels and skin, takes care of the system of functional energy transfer.
5. Information system – fascia provides information about all movements, body posture, and coordinating effects in the brain.
What to expect after deleting fascias:
• Can be loss power up to 40% in the muscle
• An inflammatory reaction
• Adhesions that lead to rigidity and restriction movement
• Immobilization. Microcalcination (fibrosis) when wavy and elastic connecting tissue structure turns to calcinated, rigid, and vulnerable areas.
