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.

Problem kopplade till Fascian
Har Cancer med Fascia att göra? Nya insikter presenteras på kongress i Boston
Nya upptäckter väcker nya insikter och genom att titta på kroppen på ett helt nytt sätt får vi nya perspektiv och förklaringar på besvär som ryggvärk, övervikt, diabetes och till och med cancer.
Försämrat flöde och rörlighet
Fascia som förtjockats, stumnat och fått försämrad glidförmåga ger en hel del symptom.
Sjukdom är överskott av oxidation
Sjukdom är överskott av oxidation, Redox Fysiologi-överskott av oxidation, större än reduktion
Varför är det vanligare att kvinnor har ryggvärk?
Fler kvinnor än män drabbas av ryggvärk, vrickningar, korsbandsskador och liknande. Hur kan det komma sig?
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.
Överrörlighet
Överrörliga personer bygger upp enorma spänningar i sin muskulatur som ger smärtsamma låsningar i leder, och de får ofta nerver i kläm.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Oxidativ stress – Håller din kropp också på att rosta?
För mycket fria radikaler leder det till oxidativ stress – ett tillstånd som kan få stora negativa konsekvenser för vår hälsa.
Inflammation i Fascia orsakar smärta – nya upptäckter presenterade i Stockholm

Brist på svavel och C-vitamin
Fascia har olika fasthet beroende på hur väl kollagen inlagras i vävnaden. Kollagenets proteiner byggs bland annat av svavel.
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.

Kan artros i en led läka?
Många har en bild av att ledbrosk inte kan läka eller att det tar så lång tid att det inte finns något hopp om man har artros. Men ny forskning visar att brosk läker lika snabbt som muskler – under rätt förutsättningar
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.
Fascia Lines are the intersections of the body
The concept of Fascia Lines is a great way to understand how the body functions and how treatment can be optimized to increase mobility and functionality. The main principle is that muscles, no matter what they do individually, also affect tissues throughout the entire body.
