Why is it important to apply myofascial techniques slowly with sustained pressure?
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Fascia responds better to slow sustained pressure.
• Fascia tends to resist fast forceful movements.
• The colloids found in the ground substance will resist abrupt pressure.
• Slow sustained pressure warms the ground substance making it more fluid.
• This provides more room for the fascial fibers to stretch and move.
• Slow sustained pressure helps to prevent guarding and allows the client to relax and accept the pressure.
