Transcription

1 Myofascial Matrix Functional vs. Anatomical Anatomy The traditional mechanistic view of anatomy, as useful as it has been, has objectified rather than humanized our relationships to our insides....whatever else they may be doing individually, muscles also influence functionally integrated body-wide continuities within fascial webbing Thomas W. Myers Anatomy Trains Power & Agility is Dependent upon Flexibility When one part moves, the body as a whole responds... Functionally, the only tissue that can mediate such a responsiveness is the Connective tissue......fascia is the organ system of form... Tensegrity Model Tensegrity Model a structural principle based on the use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially. Tensegrity is a complimentary relationship of push/pull. They are not opposite, but dependent upon each other. Push is divergent while, pull is convergent 1

2 Tetrahelix Arrangement of Fascia Cells Tetrahelix Arrangement of Fascia Cells Among & Within Fascial Connections Universal Connections Reticulin: immature collagen Elastin: elastic tendency Collagen: mature, adult fiber, generally, Stable and does not bind with water Mucopolysaccharides, glycoaminoglycans are Gel-like (colloidal) & binds with water (hydrophilic) Takes on any form...impacts posture... The tissue that holds us together... Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM) Immature reticulin is gradually replaced by collagen produced by mesodermal fibroblasts, comprising the sticky extracellular matrix Essential to maintain cellular spacing Stimulated by mechanical loading Responds to eccentric loading to strengthen Has 9-10x more proprioceptors in fascia vs. muscle Collagen favors mobility, which results in stability: Tri-plane movement will strengthen Any posture requires fascial system structure: must load in tri-plane positions for adaptation The 5 Flexibility Highways formed by Fascial Connections 2
