23
Q

How does Wolff’s law relate to fascia?

A

31
Q

What is subserous fascia?

A

Loose areolar tissue covering organs

32
Q

What are the four fascial responses to stress?

  4. Hysteresis
33
Q

What are the inflammatory changes of fascia?

A

Erythema and edema

34
Q

What is elastic deformation?

A

Fascia’s ability to come back to its original shape after stress is removed

35
Q

What is the key difference between massage and OMM?

A

OMM is diagnostic
