Clinical Consideration

Some of the benefits of myofascial techniques may be due to

neurophysiological effects (Cantu & Grodin 2001). According to Schleip

(2003), fascial/myofascial techniques impact the NS in ways that lead to a

global decrease in SNS tone, which in its turn produces a vasomotor

response that results in short-term changes in fascial viscoelasticity, thus

improving slide/glide between tissue layers. Others suggest myofascial

techniques may result in structural changes, such as the cleavage of

collagen cross-links or collagen fibril microfailure (Threlkeld 1992,

Simmonds et al. 2012, Tozzi 2012).
