Inhibit Refers to decreasing overactivity of
neuromyofascial tissue.
Self-Myofascial Release A flexibility technique used to inhibit
overactive
muscle fibers.
Poor Posture and Repetitive These can create dysfunction within the
Movements connective
tissue of the human movement system,
which is
treated by the body as an injury and will
initiate a
repair process termed the cumulative
injury cycle.
Inflammation A result of any trauma to the tissue of the
body.
Muscle Spasms This is a result of inflammation activating
the body's
pain receptors and initiating the protective
mechanism, and increasing muscle
tension.
, Microspasm This a result of heightened activity of
muscle
spindles.
Adhesions (knots or trigger points) These are a result of mircrospams, and
they begin
to form in the soft tissue.
Decrease in normal elasticity of This is a result of the formation of
soft adhesions
tissue forming a weak, inelastic matrix within the
body.
Permanent structural changes Left unchecked, adhesions lead to altered
length-
tension relationships, altered force-couple
relationships and arthrokinetic
dysfunctions which
leads to this:
Davis's Law States that soft tissue will model along the
lines of
stress.
Soft Tissue This remodels or rebuilds it self with an
inelastic
collagen matrix that forms in a random
fashion. It
doesn't run in the same direction as the
muscle
fibers.
