PASSIVACTIVE TECHNIQUE IN MYOFASCIAL DETACHMENT: LOWER LIMBS

Preface

"In all civilizations since the beginnings of medicine, the treatment of diseases was entrusted, in addition to more or less improbable medicines, to the treatment of the body by mechanical action applied from the outside, sometimes associated with thermal interventions by applying compresses or substances hot or cold. It therefore seems that massages or manual treatments on various parts of the body have been carried out since ancient times in all ethnic groups and on all continents. an "irrepressible need of mankind. Even today oriental massages have great popularity, distinct in each country of origin, China, Japan, Thailand, etc. but also interventions with massage techniques of an exquisitely Western type, especially Scandinavian and Northern European. Each intervention with these manual skills has, in the its DNA, a purpose to pursue: relaxation, improvement of blood circulation, lymphatic fluid, anti-bedsore function and other more or less specialized applications. In the sports world, then, massage has always been one of the cornerstones of the preparation of "athlete, to be practiced before and after training and competitions. It cannot therefore be denied that massage has been entrusted with very important roles in order to make the human body machine working in the most varied motor disciplines perform at its best. Sport, in fact, could be defined as an excuse to verify and measure how much the body machine can do in all the gestures in which it can express itself: the maximum in dexterity, speed, power, endurance and even ..... in the ability to reach the maximum possible immobility! In fact, in target shooting or archery, the absolute immobility of the body is the prerequisite for having the most efficient "shooting range" possible, in order to hit the target. Well, in all sports massage is applied in order to improve human performance capacity. Then there are those who, like Maurizio, especially in sports, wanted to go even deeper, taking into consideration the various elements, muscles, tendons, upholstery fabrics, etc. with the aim of clearing the boundaries between the various components in a way that everyone had the maximum freedom of movement, the least friction and the dissolution of existing viscosities. In conclusion, there is a great need for people, like Maurizio, who study with the greatest possible care, not only strengthening or relaxation, but how to put the various components in the best and most efficient working capacity. Although not particularly expressed, I believe that these "liberating" manual interventions can also positively affect the circulatory system, both on the large vessels and on the capillaries, helping them to perform their dual function of providing oxygen and removing waste products. .I repeat once again that, from the scientific point of view it is difficult to "quantify" the positive effect of such an intervention, but we are comforted by a form of reasoning, which seems logical to us, which tells us: the effects, large or small as they are, they certainly go in the right direction. I therefore wish, with all my heart, maximum success for this excellent publication. "
