Five truths about fascia
1 :The feeling of muscle soreness comes from the fascia
Delayed muscle soreness often occurs after excessive exercise or unaccustomed exercise. The study found that the internal muscle tissue damage is not the main cause of muscle soreness, wrapped in the outer layer of the muscle fascia - the epimyosal, is the main source of muscle soreness. In fact, not only muscle pain, deep fascia is also the source of most potential pain in the body.
2 :Most injuries occur in the fascia
The vast majority of injuries in the body do not occur in the muscles or bones, but in the fascia. Such as muscle strain, tendinitis, shoulder periarthritis, ligament rupture and other common injuries, in fact, belong to the category of fascia injury.
3:The body scar adhered to the fascia
The formation of scars in the body is closely related to the abnormal connection or adhesion of fibers in the connective tissue. First of all, no matter how successful the surgery is, as long as the scar is left on the body, the connective tissue has been damaged, and these scars are harder and less elastic than normal tissue, which can lead to potential slow pain or other problems in the body later. So, surgery is now done with as few incisions on the body as possible, on the one hand for aesthetic reasons; On the other hand, it is also to reduce the damage to connective tissue.
4 :Fascia and proprioception
Proprioception, also known as kinesthesia or the sixth sense, is a person's perception of their own position and movement in space. For example, if you close your eyes, you can touch your ears with your hands very accurately, which is a kind of proprioceptive ability. This may seem normal to most people, but for some people with rare neurological diseases who lose their proprioception, it can be difficult. Proprioceptors are located primarily in the fascia, and they detect changes in motion, position, pressure, touch, and stretching, as well as pain and temperature.
5 :The fascia has the ability to contract autonomously
For many years, fascia was thought to be an "inert" connective tissue that simply wraps and passively connects body structures, but this is not the case. Studies have found that there are cells in the fascia that can contract like muscle cells (such as myofibroblasts), and these cells become active and respond when we are injured or experience stress-related signals. It's just that the cells in the fascia don't contract as quickly as muscle cells, and they don't contract in a straight line, they're a very slow spiral contraction that creates tension and tension. It is precisely because fascia cells react and contract slowly that this tension persists, resulting in tension and stiffness, and many slow pain, tissue contracture, and scars in the body are closely related to the voluntary contraction of cells in the fascia .
