Q

What are the four functions of fascia?

A
  • Stabilize (posture)
  • Coordinates muscles
  • Supports organs/muscles
  • Aids in circulation

Q

How does fascia aid in circulation?

A

Keeps veins open

18
Q

What is the role of fibroblasts in fascia?

A

create it

19
Q

What is Wolff’s law, and how does it apply to fascia?

A

Mechanical stress/pressure stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen to offset stress

20
Q

What happens when fascia cross-links?

A

Increases strength

Decreases flexibility

21
Q

What are myofascial treatments?

A

system of diagnosis and treatment that engages continual palpatory feedback to release myofascial tissues

22
Q

What is direct myofascial techniques?

A

Engaging the restrictive barrier

23
Q

What is the indirect myofascial technique?

A

tissues guided along the path of least resistance

24
Q

What are the nerves that innervate muscle spindles?

A

Gamma motor neurons

25
Q

What happens to the nerves with injury?

A

Leads to persistent afferent excitatory input

26
Q

What does the spinal cord do in response to increased afferent stimulation?

A

Increased in gamma motor neuron activity, to increase muscle tone, muscle shortening, increased sensitivity to muscle stretch

27
Q

How does MFR treat the increased afferent input into the spinal cord?

A

Shuts off the cycle by decreasing afferent stimulation

Decreases gamma motor neuron activity

Decrease in muscle stretch

28
Q

What are the three goals of MFT?

A
  • relax muscles
  • Increase circulation
  • Increased drainage
29
Q

True or false: in MFR, the pt is in charge; we merely facilitate the release

A

True

30
Q

What are the two ways of indirect release of myofascial stuff?

A

Takes tissues where it wants to go, and hold

Take it where is wants to go, and continue to follow it

31
Q

Too much pressure with MFR causes what?

A

Impeded the motion of the tissue

32
Q

What are the four steps of MFR?

A
  1. Assess motion
  2. move to pt of ease (neutral)
  3. hold to release
  4. Reassess
33
Q

What is the principle of facilitated positional release?

A

Excessive tone on skeletal muscles causes increased resistance

34
Q

For facilitated positional release, the pt should be placed in what position? Why?

A

Neutral position

Unloads facets

35
Q

What is the next step in FPR after the pt is placed in a neutral position?

A

Place dysfunction into its freedom of motion

36
Q

How much force should be added with the listening hand? For how long?

A

3-5 lbs

3-5 seconds

37
Q

What should be done when FPR is finished?

A

Released and reevaluate

38
Q

True or false: radicular pain is a contraindications to using FPR

A

True

39
Q

The majority of fascia in the body has what organization? What are the exceptions to this?

A

Longitudinal

Diaphragms have horizontal

40
Q

True or false: There are no absolute contraindications to MFR

A

True

41
Q

What are the contraindications to FPR?

A
  • Radicular pain with compression
  • Fractures
  • Pain
42
Q

how long does it take for a ligament to heal once put back into place?

A

3 months
