Manual Body Work (Fascia Focus)
Reflexive Manual Fascia work
Fascia contains up to 10 times more nerve endings than muscle tissue, making it far more sensitive to sensation and proprioception. In essence, fascia acts as a body-wide sensory organ.
Key Points About Fascia and Nerve Endings:
- High Nerve Density: Fascia is densely populated with sensory receptors, including proprioceptors that track body position and movement.
- Pain Perception: The high concentration of nerve endings in fascia plays a significant role in pain perception, helping to explain why fascial restrictions can be so painful.
- Movement Coordination: Fascia’s rich nerve supply is crucial for coordinating movement and maintaining proper posture.
