Adhesive and hardened fascia - Cause of many complaints
ОглавлениеThe fascia can stick together for various reasons. They need enough movement to remain elastic and stable. They stick together in the event of lack of movement, as well as in the event of overloading, as this reduces their gliding ability.
Muscle ache can therefore also be the result of impaired fascia, as overloading causes fine cracks in the tissue, which then trigger inflammation. As already mentioned, not only blood vessels pass through the fascia, but also lymph vessels, as the fluid transports the important nutrients. This is why our lymphatic system is also dependent on exercise.
If the muscles remain tense, there is no longer an adequate supply of nutrients in the painful areas such as the back or neck. Fibrinogen also plays an important role in the fascia. This is a blood clotting factor that accumulates in the tissue when there is a lymph congestion and is transformed into fibrin.
However, fibrin is responsible for wound healing, as it closes our wounds like an adhesive. However, if there are no wounds or injuries in our tissue, the surrounding tissue is stuck together by the fibrin. Adhesive fascia can be the cause of unexplainable pain, which is why this topic is also very important.
The fascial tissue can not only stick together, but also harden. This is the case with a low fluid content, which is common in older people, for example. The loss of fluid shifts the balance of aqueous and fibrous substances.
The fascia of older people is much harder because it is made up of inflexible and strong fibres that become felted together. This, of course, also significantly limits the possibility of movement. The more our fascial tissue hardens, the more painful the movements naturally become.
However, our entire organism is surrounded by fascial tissue like a net. Over time, our brain and all organs can also be affected by hardened and clogged fascia. This leads to a lack of oxygen and blood supply.
So everything is connected by the fascia. This is also the reason why fascial tissue changes significantly in the event of inflammation or injury. In the case of kidney inflammation, for example, the muscles of the lumbar vertebrae can also be affected, since the fascia of the kidneys change their tension when symptoms arise.
This information clearly shows how important the fascia is for our organism. On the positive side, however, the fascial tissue can be trained slowly but surely through targeted training in order to loosen hardenings and existing adhesions.
