To support the Member Webinar he led last month discussing how to approach fibrosis and densification, Alp Ertung, Certified Fascial Manipulation® Specialist, has written a blog that provides a concise anatomical and physiological framework for understanding how targeted fascial interventions can influence pain, movement, and injury risk.
He says: “The human body functions as a complex, integrated biological entity, and scientific consensus increasingly recognizes the fascial system as its primary connective architecture……. This three-dimensional architecture has two principal components: a fibrous component composed of collagen-rich layers responsible for force transmission, and a loose connective tissue component characterized by a hyaluronic acid (HA)-rich interstitium that permits gliding and shear mobility between layers (Stecco et al., 2025; Fede et al., 2021). Disruption of this balance can lead to fascial dysfunction, commonly in the form of fibrosis or densification.
