The Roles of Myofascial Chains in the body. Myofascial chains are pathways of intertwined muscle and fascia that run throughout your body adding structure and contributing to functions. These are some of their functions:

Fascia is a dense weblike wetsuit of connective tissue found all throughout the body.
There are four types of fascia making up these layers: superficial, deep, visceral, and parietal. It is made from collagen, elastin, and hyaluronan. There are proprioceptive neurons in the fascia as well. This is a direct line to your brain signaling unconscious perception of movement and spatial orientation.

This elaborate and multilayered wetsuit wraps around muscles, organs, and bones providing structural integrity while allowing tissues to slide over one another. Impact and injury can damage the fascial network in the body causing it to become tight, dried and adhered--which often leads to chronic pain and reduced mobility.

Regular massage and myofascial release can separate these adhered tissues, reduce the ripple effect of tension along lines of force and restore mobility with decreased discomfort in affected areas.

PRIMARY LYMPHEDEMA
In Canada, primary lymphedema is one of the very few congenital, progressive diseases with no federal disability recognition, no national strategy, no guaranteed financial support and no inclusion in rare‑disease frameworks
This makes it exceptionally under‑recognized. It is estimated that 21,000 people in Canada are living with Primary Lymphedema.
