Description:
In this engaging presentation, we delve deep into the intricate world of fascia and its pivotal role in musculoskeletal pain. Fascia, often overlooked but profoundly influential, serves as more than just a connective tissue—it's a dynamic network interwoven with sensory nerves and prone to pathological changes. Through a comprehensive exploration of fascial anatomy, innervation, and pathological alterations, we uncover the mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal pain. By understanding how fascial dysfunction contributes to pain, manual therapists gain invaluable insights into enhancing their treatment approaches. Join us on this journey as we bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering manual therapists to unlock the potential of fascia in achieving lasting pain relief for their patients.
