If there are problems with the fascia, what impact will it have?
When fascia becomes adhered, it means that certain parts of the fascia have become tight, stiff, and may be stuck to surrounding tissues. This condition is often caused by injury, surgery, inflammation, repetitive stress, or inactivity (such as prolonged sitting). Fascial adhesions can lead to the following issues:
-
Pain: Adhesions can cause tightness and pain, which can be localized or radiate to other parts of the body.
-
Reduced range of motion: Adhesions restrict the natural movement of the fascia, potentially leading to a decreased range of motion in joints and muscles.
-
Muscle dysfunction: Fascial adhesions can affect the normal movement patterns of muscles, resulting in muscle weakness or dysfunction.
-
Restricted blood circulation: Tightness and adhesions in the fascia can impact blood circulation, affecting tissue nutrition and waste removal.
-
Nerve compression: Adhesions can compress or irritate nerves, causing pain, numbness, or tingling sensations.
