Healing and Scars Tissue - A Brisbane Myotherpists Perspective

Tissue Healing and Scar Tissue Although many people may not realise it, injuries and tissue healing have more relevance than just at the time of injury. Injuries, tend to create pain, which in turn the affects how one moves at the time of injury. In essence, our bodies adapt to allow us to move in a way that tries to avoid pain and yet enables us to survive. Such movement adaptions become learnt at the time of injury, during the healing phase and often long after healing has finished, effectively becoming normalised. Furthermore, when soft-tissues heal the process results in scar tissue, which is very different to the original tissue.  The combination of adaptation s and scar tissue can create changes in loads ( biotensegrity ) on other structures within the body. Unresolved trauma and changes in biotensegrity can frequently lead to other seemingly unrelated injuries sometimes years later.

Tissue Adaptation - Relevance to injury prevention, training

Relevance of Tissue Adaptation  Tissue adaptation is highly relevant to injury prevention, training, performance, injury rehabilitation and general musculoskeletal health. Tissues and structures within the body have different types of properties, based on function. The musculoskeletal system adapts to applied forces and as is tolerable. Equally, tissues and structures respond differently according to the types of force involved, speed of force, duration of force, the direction of force and more. Adaptations also have relevance for Biotensegrity and tissue healing . The full article about Tissue Adaptation - a Myotherapy perspective , contains far more detail about the process of musculoskeletal adaption.

The Fascial System and Biotensegrity - A Brisbane Myotherpists Perspective

The Relevance Biotensegrity  The human body consists of a combination of parts, structures, joints and soft-tissues, which enable us to move amongst other things. One should view the body as a single or whole structure as everything grew via mitosis (cell division). Structures and tissues within the body have different material properties such as elasticity, strength and more. Our bodies maintain and change shape through a combination of compressive and tensional forces within (Biotensegrity). Loads or forces within the body are continually changing according to the requirements placed on the body. Many people seem to forget that our limbs are relatively heavy and our bodies deal with the force of gravity 24/7. Equally, biotensegrity can change due to injuries (trauma), or tissue adaptations . The full article on Biotensegrity and its relevance - a Myotherapy perspective explains far more. The information on this page was written by Terry Davis MChiro, GradCertMentHlth, ...
