Fascia is a whole body system of dense, irregular connective tissue, which is three dimensional, and runs from head to toe without interruption. Electron microscopes have now shown the fascial system is present in every cell in the body. The ground substance of the fascial system is fluid, and over time, due to physical and non-physical trauma, the ground substance will lose it's hydration, and become solid. This is how we develop restrictions in our fascial system. So just like a spider web, where you can pull at one end of the web and see a reflectionof that pull transmit to somewhere else in the web, the same thing happens with our fascial web. Therefore restrictions in one part of the body can be felt as symptoms somewhere else in the body. This is how symptoms begin to surface. Trauma, poor posture, inflammation, repetitive strain injuries, or scarring, can cause a binding down of the fascia, which results in excessive pressure on the nerves, muscles, arteries, organs, and the skeletal system. These soft tissue restrictions will not show up in conventional standard testing, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI's. It is thought that many people suffering from pain and motion restriction may be having fascial problems, but with conventional standard testing, go undiagnosed.
