How do I Know if my Fascia has been Damaged?
Damage to your fascia can cause a wide variety of symptoms, and these are frequently misdiagnosed or attributed to other causes. (see also: MFR treatment for common ailments). Many chronic pain patients may actually be suffering from distorted or adhesed fascia.
When your fascial system is functioning normally it keeps your body moving smoothly and easily. However, when the fascia is damaged through injury, overuse, or dehydration it often has a domino effect, causing a series of painful symptoms to appear over time. You may experience stiffness, reduced range of motion, and increasing chronic pain.
If the issue goes uncorrected for too long, you may also experience localized degeneration. Fascial tightening can exert such high pressure on delicate organs and systems that it can even affect your digestion, hormone production, and blood flow, each of which can result in its own chain of additional symptoms.
The fascial system is difficult to image and examine, because fascial tissue doesn’t appear on MRI scans or X-rays. Proper diagnosis and treatment will involve working closely with a skilled, experienced therapist who knows what signs to look for and how to interpret symptoms. If you are experiencing chronic pain or dysfunction that doesn’t seem to respond to traditional treatment, it may be time to consult a myofascial release specialist to get to the root of the problem.
