Fascial restrictions happen anywhere and everywhere in the body. As a Barnes trained therapist, I am trained to treat the area of pain and symptoms.....but look elsewhere for the cause. The area of pain is rarely where the 'problem' is. This is why many people suffer for weeks, months and years, all the while going from doctor to doctor, chiropractor, PT, massage, injections and even surgery.....with little, temporary or no relief. Because traditional medicine only treats the area of pain or diagnosis....neglecting the body as a whole, which is necessary in order to truly heal....many people continue to suffer with their symptoms. It is very common for me to be working on a client's leg or even foot....and they will be amazed and say to me, 'am I crazy, because you are working on my foot, but I am feeling it in my back where my pain is.' I tell them that they in fact are not crazy, but actually becoming aware of their body and ...... how everything is connected by the fascial system, the largest system in the body and the only system in the body that touches every single thing in the body...all the way down to the singular cell level. So yes, fascial restrictions in a person's foot, leg, neck, shoulder, knee and abdomen can cause back pain.....or pain and decreased motion anywhere in the body.
