PASSIVACTIVE TECHNIQUE IN MYOFASCIAL DETACHMENT: LOWER LIMBS

Treatment for adjacent muscles in sports massage

There passive technique of myofascial detachment in sports massage, it helps to restore correct smoothness between the various tissues and consequently of joint mobility, which goes to treat the muscles in contact with each other: the adjacent or parallel muscles precisely . This technique combined in some cases with the Deep Transverse Massage -MTP- or with the Deep Transverse Friction - deep friction or Cyriax technique - will involve "... an orientation of the collagen fibers, together with their strengthening thanks to better circulation, can be sufficient to allow the "athlete to maintain a high level of" activity, which would have been impossible without the treatment "(Francesco Nigro). When the collagen fibers of the fascia, already naturally poorly aligned with each other, due to trauma, stress due to overload or tensive / nervous, they tend to thicken and arrange themselves even more in a casual and disordered way, it is possible that they start a marked adhesiveness and conse following myofascial retraction that League normal muscle / joint dynamics - Range of Motion -. In this regard, to explain in a figurative way what happens, I quote the example reported in a work published on Sports & Med, which visualizes the question very well. it represents the band with its well-ordered collagen fibers, therefore in excellent physiological state, and the sticky adhesive part to the stressed degraded one, where the collagen fibers are arranged at random. If we slide the smooth part of the tape on our skin, it flows smoothly without friction; on the other hand when we slide the adhesive part, it drags the skin, the hairs, making you feel a draft. This friction is nothing more than the sensation we experience when a "myofascial adherence prevents us from performing a normal muscle-joint excursion. Hence the need to intervene with techniques and manual skills to detach these adhesions. Well then, with the same techniques or techniques. at the most with some personal changes in the classic manual skills, I have had tangible and positive feedback in these seasons of work on athletes of different sports specialties and on the players of the team I follow with the help of my friend Federico Polimene, masseur and athletic trainer.

All the manual skills of this work are born in a "kinetic perspective, that is in relation to the fundamental active participation on the part of the athlete while the operator passively moves, stretches and rotates the muscle or the myofascial chain section involved in the detachment.

Technique I define passive for the minimal but essential contribution that is required of the athlete to obtain the necessary condition so that the viscoelastic change of the myofascial tissue (collagen) can begin. This is not only due to the physical mechanical action of manual skills, but also for the consequent effects to the response of the stimulation performed on the athlete's mechanoreceptors: corpuscles and organs of Golgi, Ruffini and Pacini.
