Fasciopathy-centred care for pain relief and mobility restoration
As many of you know, I, along with my research colleague Marta, have been studying “superficial fascia and subcutanous fat" for more than a decade and would like to introduce you to a ground-breaking technique which will be coming to the Synergy Practice in 2025.
Using a short needle (to avoid deep fascial structures, muscle and all other deeper anatomical structures), the technique targets areas within the superficial fascia where metabolic fluid has become trapped and is unable to drain away. This causes the superficial fascia to become compressed, this may cause irritation to adjacent nerve endings which ends in pain! By breaking these restrictive facial membranes, the trapped fluid can be released and reabsorbed, which reduces tissue congestion and relieves compression, which significantly reduces pain within the session.
Quite simply this treatment can help anyone in chronic pain, regardless of the underlying pathology. It can also provide significant pain relief to those with fibromyalgia by addressing the superficial fascia’s dysfunction and therefore improving the patient’s quality of life and mobility.
Note: this is different to dry needling or myofascial release treatments, it is a completely new technique.
Some of you will have already experienced this technique with Luke or myself and will have seen firsthand how it can help to alleviate pain and improve your quality of life whilst awaiting surgery or an appointment with a healthcare practitioner.
We will be in touch in the new year with further details and how to book :) But in the meantime, if you're eager to learn more please check out Marta's YouTube Channel and the Fasciopathy Foundation website for more info :)
*If you’ve some how evaded my lecture on fascia, not watched the video or simply just forgotten - fascia is a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, muscle, bone, blood vessel and nerve fibre in place. It compartmentalises and connects everything within the body.
