, 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 connective
Movements 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 soft This is a result of the formation of 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.
