[libribook.com] Traumatic Scar Tissue Management 1st Edition
Pathophysiological considerationIn addition to stimulating the differentiation of fibroblasts into MFBs, TGFβ1can also induce the differentiation of myogenic cells into fibrotic cells ininjured skeletal muscle, leading to fibrosis (Li et al. 2004, Cencetti et al.2010, Rodríguez & del Río 2013).Long-Standing/Mature Scars and ImpairmentsWhen working with long-standing or mature scars, treatment often shifts awayfrom the scar itself and focuses more on the dysfunctions or impairments thatdevelop as a result of the scar. These pathophysiological scars can be visiblyevident on the surface in the form of skin contractures, hypertrophic and keloidscars or less visibly evident under the surface in the form of adhesions, fibrosis,CT and fascial contractures.In some cases scars will become strongly fixed and may require surgical release,in which case, postsurgical MT care will be indicated.
Treatment outcomesEssentially, the restoration of pain-free functional capabilities reigns supreme. Itis in this stage that aberrant movement patterns may present and so myofascialchains/meridian considerations apply. It is also when chronic stress and chronicpain must be considered.Treatment will primarily focus on mechanical cleavage of pathological crosslinksand microadhesions, decreasing tissue density/GS viscosity and balancingSNS/PNS tone.

Treatment outcomes
Essentially, the restoration of pain-free functional capabilities reigns supreme. It
is in this stage that aberrant movement patterns may present and so myofascial
chains/meridian considerations apply. It is also when chronic stress and chronic
pain must be considered.
Treatment will primarily focus on mechanical cleavage of pathological crosslinks
and microadhesions, decreasing tissue density/GS viscosity and balancing
SNS/PNS tone.
