Clinical Consideration
When thickened, as a result of injury or trauma, these vertical septa can
restrict and impact function. Any undue ‘tugging’ of bound tissue (e.g.
during ‘normal’ movement) can lead to hypersensitization and consequent
pain (Stecco 2004, 2009, Muscolino 2012).
Deep/axial fascia (DF)
Deeper scars (e.g. following surgery or due to penetrating puncture wounds) will
impact the deep fascia layer and, potentially, the underlying muscular fascia (epi,
peri and endomysium).
Generally speaking, DF presents throughout the body as a multilayer
organization, typically 2–3 dense collagen bundle layers interspersed with loose
CT layers that contain collagen, adipocytes and are rich in HA. The dense layers
serve to augment force transmission and the loose layers augment slide/glide.
In each dense layer the collagen bundles are arranged in parallel with adjacent
(above or below) layers arranged at a 78° angle to one another. This
configuration (interspersed with sliding layers) allows for multidirectional
movement and the ability of fascia to counter/resist tension multidirectionally
(see Fig. 2.4).
DF displays some distinct regional differences:
