What is fascia?
Fascia is a membrane that encases muscles, and is said to be a second skeleton that supports tissues because it is stretched across the entire body like a wetsuit, encasing the entire muscle three-dimensionally from the surface to the deep layers. Fascia is divided into three types: the epimysium, the outermost layer that covers the entire muscle, the perimysium, which bundles and covers several muscle fibers, and the endomysium, which encases each individual muscle fiber.
What is the role of fascia?
The fascia has several important functions.
- It wraps around each tissue, creating partitions between tissues and simultaneously connecting them together to maintain the body's posture.
- Protects against friction caused by tissue rubbing against tissue
- Fascia supports the movement of muscle fibers and transmits force through three structures that surround muscle fibers: epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium.
What is myofascial release?
For muscles to move smoothly, fascia needs to slide easily. Softening the fascia, improving its slipperiness, and loosening it is called "fascial release." By performing fascial release, you can bring out muscle flexibility and increase the range of motion of your joints.
In order to restore the function of fascial tissue, it is necessary to physically apply pressure and stimulation to remove fascial disorders, and the use of trigger points is very effective.
