What is Integrated stretching?
self-myofascial methods, along with assisted and self-stretching techniques designed and implemented after a comprehensive assessment of the myofascial system.
2 most common factors
- Pattern overload
- Cumulative cycle
4 types of flex training
- self myofascial (before stretching)
- static stretching (only short / overactive muscles)
- Active stretching (pre-activity, phase 2,3,4)
- Dynamic stretching (bodyweight movements)
What are some benefits of stretching? (P. M. B. F. S)
Stretching is known to have multiple benefits, such as: 1. improved posture and strength when combined with exercise (Kim et al., 2018) and
2. increased joint mobility and range of motion (Medeiros & Martini, 2018) and
3. may improve single-leg balance (Palmer et al., 2018).
4. In older individuals, regular stretching can improve the daily functional movement and overall quality of life (Bouaziz et al., 2016; Mora & Valencia, 2018),
5. increase sleep quality, and reduce pain more than aerobic exercise alone in those with fibromyalgia (Gómez-Hernández et al., 2020).
What happens to fascia when mechanical load is applied?
When a mechanical load is applied, whether by stretching or compression, a significant amount of water is extruded from fascia, particularly stressed areas (Schleip et al., 2012).
What is “super-compensation hydration phenomenon” ?
more fluid rushes back into the tissues than was observed pre-stretch.
Regional Interdependence (RI) model
Assessment and intervention model used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a patient’s primary complaint or symptoms is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal regions.
Neurophysiological system
A physiological system dealing with the functioning of the nervous system.
Somatovisceral system
The part of the sensory system that responds to changes in internal body systems and organs.
Myofascial
muscle and connective tissue called fascia
The human movement system
The human movement system (HMS) is a synergistic complex of myofascial (muscle and connective tissue called fascia), neuromuscular (neural and muscle), and articular (bone, cartilage, and ligament) components.
Structural efficiency
The alignment of each segment of the human movement system, which allows posture to be balanced in relation to a person’s center of gravity.
Fascial system (FS)
connective tissue, soft collagen containing loose and dense fibrous connective tissue that permeates the body.
Fascial system model
The model of human movement that considers the interconnectivity and interaction of the fascial system throughout the body.
Fascial nets
The concept of the myofascial tensional network that describes the interconnectedness of specific chains of muscle and fascia located in different parts of the body as they relate to functional movement patterns.
static postural assessments (OPP)
- Determine where the body appears to shift, bend, tilt, or rotate and which fascial nets are responsible.
- Functional movement patterns are then assessed to be followed by a table-based movement assessment to determine what corrective movements and stretches will be used to bring the client’s HMS back to balance.
3.Finally, an individualized integrated stretch program is designed that may include self-myofascial techniques, specific corrective stretches, dynamic stretches for warm-ups, and recovery stretches for cool downs.
Which of the following is the first definition of fascia according to the Fascial Research Society?
A fascia is a sheath, a sheet, or any other dissectible aggregations of connective tissue that forms beneath the skin to attach, enclose, and separate muscles and other internal organs.
Which of the following explains why there are many varying types of manual and movement therapies to address fascial dysfunctions?
Fascia is vulnerable to many types of dysfunction because it is widespread and has an integrative function.
Which of the following defines fascial nets?
The network of interconnected chains of muscle and fascia and their relationship to functional movement patterns.
Which of the following is an example of a potential lower body compensation pattern that could result in more proximal faulty positions?
A pronated foot-ankle complex, internally rotated knee and hip with anteriorly rotated pelvis.
Which system within the body is addressed with integrated stretching?
The connective tissue system
How does the Fascial System (FS) model add to functional efficiency within the human movement system (HMS)?
It intertwines the nervous system and muscular system, creating a mechanically sensitive and responsive communication network.
Which of the following best describes the human movement system (HMS)?
An interdependent system that integrates the biomechanical model of human anatomy and physiology.
Which of the following factors are improved with the use of the Fascial System (FS) model?
Which of the following factors are improved with the use of the Fascial System (FS) model?
