Integrative Fascial Release & Functional Testing
نویسنده
چکیده
Soft tissue techniques, including Integrative Myofascial Release (IFR) can be more effective if the area of treatment can be determined by functional testing. The patient's source of pain may not necessarily be located at the area of complaint and functional testing helps in pinpointing the source. Post-treatment functional testing will provide feedback to both the patient and the doctor as to whether the technique was effective. This paper will describe some typical functional tests and treatment using IFR of the posterior cervical/thoracolumbar fascia.

The relationship between dental occlusion/temporomandibular joint status and general body health: part 2. Fascial connection of TMJ with other parts of the body.
In part 1 of this study, it was discussed that dental occlusion/temporomandibular joint (TMJ) status is functionally connected to general body health. The purpose of this part of the study was to attempt to formulate a conceptual account, the "fascial connection theory for TMJ and other parts of the body," to explain the functional connection between TMJ and other parts of the body. The first h...

BACKGROUND The therapeutic approach to chronic aspecific low back pain (CALBP) has to consider the multifactorial aetiology of the disorder. International guidelines do not agree on unequivocal treatment indications. Recommendations for fascial therapy are few and of low level evidence but several studies indicate strong correlations between fascial thickness and low back pain. This study aims ...
متن کاملMyofascial Release - Not Part of Orofacial Myology!
On occasion, myofascial release has been mistakenly considered part of orofacial myology treatment. Since this procedure is a physical therapy technique, it is not appropriate for use by non-physical therapists. WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL RELEASE? Myofascial release (also known as fascial adhesion release) is touted as a gentle touch massage procedure designed to relieve tight muscles and reduce the la...
متن کاملIncisional hernia repair by fascial component separation: results in 128 cases and evolution of technique.
BACKGROUND Most ventral incisional hernias are repaired using 1 of 2 principal techniques: (1) prosthetic repair (open or laparoscopic) and (2) primary reconstruction by fascial component separation. Primary midline restoration provides physiological advantages, and avoidance of mesh may reduce complications. This report describes 128 cases of incisional hernia repair by fascial release. Evolut...
