Översträckning
Fascian innehåller mängder av receptorer, längs längre stråk, mellan kotor, längs muskler osv. Dessa receptorer läser av och signalerar i vilken position vi är och hur vävnaderna töjs. Vid övertöjning känner vi en brännande känsla. Både muskler och bindväv kan övertöjas, men framför allt skadas muskelfibrer som kraftigt tänjs ut. Reaktionen på en sådan skada är oftast en efterföljande kramp i området runt skadan.
Försämrad positionsavläsning är ofta orsak till att vi lätt översträcker och skadar oss i områden som sedan tidigare stelnat. Där kroppen blivit stel och stum klarar inte nervsystemet av att signalera läget så snabbt som det borde så vi hinner kontrollera våra rörelser.
Det här kan så klart undvikas genom ergonomiska avvägda rörelser där vi bara rör oss så snabbt och avancerat som vi känner att vår kropp är redo för just den dagen. Det är ofta vid stress eller slarv som vi misslyckas med det och gör oss illa.
Därför är klassisk bindvävsmassage inte speciellt rolig. Den bränner och gör oerhört ont. Vibrationer som återställer fascians vätskebalans och rörlighet är långt mycket skönare.

Är din Fascia sur?
Då den mat vi äter förbränns i kroppen bildas det nedbrytningsprodukter (metaboliter). Det kan bli sura eller basiska metaboliter, beroende på vad vi äter

Intresset för Fasciabehandling växer: ”Fasciaproblem är ofta underdiagnostiserat”
David Lesondak har arbetat med manuell behandling i över 25 år och specialiserat sig på myofasciell smärta. Han har länge försökt förklara vad fascia är, liksom fördelarna du får från att behandla olika problem med fascial behandling.
Problem kopplade till Fascian
Fascia är ett system av flexibel och rörlig bindväv som omsluter allt i hela kroppen. Om vårt fascia-system mår bra, då mår vi bra, men när fascian blir stel, spänd eller inflammerad får det konsekvenser.
Stötdämpning
Tack vare den sammanlänkande bindväven kan vi absorbera en stöt genom hela kroppen. En smäll med foten in i en sten kan alltså ge en påverkan i slutet på den bindvävskedjan, ända uppe i skallbasen.
Stress och socker skadar Fascians funktion
Vad vi säkert vet är att överflöd av socker påverkar Fascian mycket negativt och gör att den blir mindre elastisk. Även stress påverkar Fascian på samma sätt.
Översträckning
Där kroppen blivit stel och stum klarar inte nervsystemet av att signalera läget så snabbt som det borde så vi hinner kontrollera våra rörelser.
Försämrat flöde och rörlighet
Fascia som förtjockats, stumnat och fått försämrad glidförmåga ger en hel del symptom.
Varför drabbas så många kvinnliga fotbollsspelare av korsbandsskador?
Många skador efter ett långt uppehåll kanske inte är så konstigt. Men varför drabbas kvinnor av så mycket ligamentskador?
Inflammation och autoimmun inflammation
Inflammation är en mycket viktig funktion för att läka och bearbeta infektioner. Värme och smärta uppstår och immunförsvaret jobbar aktivt med att bearbeta bakterier eller läka en skada.
Vikten av C-vitamin vid graviditet, förlossning och gulsot hos nyfödda.
Många forskare menar att gravida bör äta 5-6 gram C-vitamintillskott per dag. C-Vitamin bidrar till bildning av fascia och förbrukning ökar under stress.
Vad orsakar ryggvärk?
Ny forskning visar ett starkt samband mellan ryggvärk och inflammation i Fascia. Men varför får ryggvärk och vad händer egentligen när vi får ont i ryggen?
Sträckning – Ryggskott
Ryggskott följer samma mönster som översträckning. Vi har oftast byggt upp en spänning och stelhet som till slut försämrar reaktionen i nerver och muskler i det stela området.
Sjukdom är överskott av oxidation
Sjukdom är överskott av oxidation, Redox Fysiologi-överskott av oxidation, större än reduktion
Kan artros i en led läka?
