How does myofascial theory explain that treatment of connective tissues can influence the organs and other systems?
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Fascia is a continuous web that extends through all tissues of the body.
• Pathology originating in an organ or another tissue can affect the surrounding connective tissue.
• This pathology can then spread through the fascial web, eventually affecting the skin, muscles, and underlying connective tissue structures.
• It has been theorized that if internal pathology can be reflected in the superficial tissues, then treatment of the superficial tissues works in the opposite direction.
• Releasing the myofascia in any local area affects the entire body.
