Notice the differences from the "normal fascia" and the "traumatized fascia".

Written by J. Barnes:
Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spiders web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as all of our internal organs, including the heart, lungs, brain, and spinal cord. The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of fascial coverings. It is actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way, you can begin to see that each part of the entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.

Trauma, inflammatory responses, and/or surgical procedures create myofascial restrictions that can produce tensile pressures up to 2000 pounds per square inch on pain sensitive structures that does not show up in many of the standard tests such as XRay, CAT scans, MRI, electromyography, myelograms, etc.
A high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but are not diagnosed.

Just a kind reminder that masks will continue to be required as stated by the Department of Health of Washington State, as we are considered a medical facility.

"Beginning March 12, 2022, face masks are no longer required in many indoor settings, including K-12 schools, restaurants, gyms, grocery stores and retail locations. Masks will still be required in some settings, including (but not limited to) medical facilities, long-term care facilities, and public transit. Private businesses and local governments may still require masks, if they choose. Many individuals may want to continue wearing masks for added protection from COVID-19. I am in the process of updating our guidance with this new information. Thank you for your patience."
