While it is important to assess and treat all aspects of the musculoskeletal system associated with any specific injury, one cannot ignore the role and importance of fascial tissue.
Why? Fascia, or connective tissue, has little to no blood supply and therefore its healing capabilities are limited. When you suffer an injury, the fascial tissue will remain distorted until manually corrected.
What is Fascia?
Fascia is a thin sheet of connective tissue that:
- Covers everything from bones to muscles, organs, arteries, veins and nerves
- Provides a smooth, low friction environment for muscle contraction and relaxation
- Wraps around bony surfaces, creating an attachment surface for tendons and ligaments
- Holds the body's organs in place
- Transmits tension for vital movements from muscle to tendon to bone and from ligament to bone
- Creates a supportive and movable conduit for nerves, blood and lymph vessels as they pass through and between muscle
Airrosti Certified Providers are expertly trained to apply evidence-based manual therapy and active rehab exercises to correct these connective tissue distortions.
