Densification

Term used in fascial manipulation (the Stecco method), used to describe the

increased viscosity of ground substance in the loose connective tissue (CT)

layers (sliding layers) due to aggregation of fragmented and entangled

hyaluronic acid chains. Stecco suggests that such densification at specific points

impacts CT and fascia’s hydrodynamic and normal viscoelastic properties and

subsequent increased viscosity negatively impacts sliding between adjacent

tissues/structures, resulting in myofascial pain and altered proprioception.
