-
Goals of todays course
introduction of principle of the fascialearning of the basic techniquesuse and train these techniquesevaluating strategies for treatment
-
The traditionell view of fascias
We all learned some facts about the fascia:
It's a thin membran between the muscles.
It's a sleeve around the organs.
To understand the muscles, we have to isolate the muscle an remove everything else.
-
The modern view of fascias
The fascia is an important organ of the body.
It designs 'muscle-chains'.
It helps to transport informations.
it absorbs and returns energy.
the fascia connects everything with everything.
newer studies show that the fascia can contract. It reacts to stress.
during isometrical work the fascia has a special job.
-
Some basics about the fascia
If you get hurt some strukture may be torn, ruptured or broken.
In surgeries we try to fix the broken parts.
Nobody fixes the fascia!
-
adhesions of the fasciaIn a case of a disturbence or
adhesion of the fascia, impedences occur in the
tissues and misinformation can happen.
Adhesions should be removed as soon as possible.
-
Why does nobody fix the fascia?
The structure of the fascia seems to be much like a 3D-version of a spiderweb.
Think about glue between your palms and pull the hands apart slowly. These fibres give you an idea of the flexible but breakable structure of a fascia.
-
Blading
Blading a variant of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)
Blading follows the basic principles of the Gua Sha, a technique of the traditionel chinese medicine (TCM)
The main goal is to release adhesions of the fascia.
Tools are used to
make it easier for the therapist
Special edges and curves are used to reach the area as good as possible
In traditional treatments spoons are used made of jade and horn
you can reach superficial deep layers of the tissue as well.
Different tools give different pros and cons.
We developed the Prime Physioblade to combine as muss pros as possible.
-
The Prime Physioblade
after using a lot of different variants of IASTM-Tools we took all the benefits of each of them and combined it in one tool.
one tool for the most
Most of the tools are much more expensive and can deal with just a small amount of jobs. You need whole sets of tools to cover the whole range.
different curves
different points in different sizes
one side optimized for the superficial layers
one side optimized for the deeper layers
when the word DEEP and the logo is shown you are working deep!
wide grip-holes
Additional holes for stabilization
Stainless steel
-
Kontraindikations
We highly recommend NOT to use the Prime Physioblade in following cases
Woundings and surgery scars which are not yet closed
tumors
active Implants
Pacemaker, insulin-pumps for example
acute Infections and imflamation
Trombosis
use of anticoagulants
-
Indications
We positive recommend to use the blade in case of
mechanical restriction of the Range of motion
Pain related restriction of the Range of motion
Tissue problems like
Fibrosis
Adhesion
Celulite
old injuries
Torn or ruptured muscles
Chronicle reduction of the range of motion
Scars
Insufficient local suplience of the tissue
-
Effects of treatment
Hyperaemisation
breaking up crosslinks
Mobilisation of the different layers of the tissue.
(Re-)Activasion of the regeneration of the cells by causing controlled microtraumata
Stimulating of mechanoreceptors
-
Some Infos for your clients
To avoid complication and stress with your clients, I recommend to inform your clients and do some paperwork.
The treatment may be painful.
Ripping, sore or cutting feelings are common during the treatment.
The irritation of the skin may stay for a few hours.
Hämatome may occur but will go away in a few days.
a little pain or ill feeling like sore muscles may come up.
irritations of nerves can happen but won’t stay for more then a few minutes.
Talk to your client and make a clear codeword just in case of too much pain.
-
Blading- basic techniques -
We talk about 5 different techniques
diagnostic scratch
Point treatment
Area treatment
Sportsmassage
Separating
Lymphatic strike
If you are familiar with this basics you can treat nearly everything and develop your own strategies individually.
-
How to find the problemThe first step to solve a problem is to locate it.
Simelar to the standard protocol you can use the following
Inspection
Listen to the client
feeling of stiffness
reduced range of motion
Feeling of ripping off and pulling
Body language of the client (according to FDM)
Palpation
Diagnostic scratch
-
Diagnostic scratch
By slightly scratching over an area you will find some abnormalities
Getting stuck in the tissue
the skin turning red quickly
Hear scratching
Vibration of the blade
You use the blade in an angle of 45 degree to the skin. No pressure ist used,. The own weight of the blade is enough.
-
Point treatment
You work in a small area (like a coin) with one of the smaller parts of the blade
Variant 1: You hook into the skin an push into the stiff area, like a scar.
Variant 2: You use the blade to bring pressure on a small area like a trigger point.
-
area treatment
With one of the edges you can treat a larger area
Pulling or pushing is possible
we recommend to use just one direction at a time.
-
Sportsmassage
you fix a part of the muscle in a shortened position (flexion of the joint) and pull the muscle through this fixation by moving the joint in extension.
In the classical version the movement is made by the therapist
According to myofascial techniques the client can make the movement.
-
Separation
the blade is inserted vertically between two parts of a muscle.
the blade is will be moved to separate these two muscles.
Twisting is possible
We highly recommend this technique at the erector spinae.
-
Lymphatic strike
according to the area treatment you can use the blade to bring lymphatic liquid in motion.
we recommend to use the superficial side an pull with just little pressure
the direction of the strike is from distal to proximal towards the lymphatic knotts.
like the manual lymphatic pattern we recommend to start proximal and continue distal.
-
Special: Thoraco-Scapular-Joint
the blade can be used to work underneath the scapula.
we recommend to prepare the area by using different techniques around the scapula.
to get under the scapula you should have your client in a relaxed position. You put the Blade next to the edge of the scapula and pull the scapula over the blade by grabbing the shoulder and moving the shoulder and the scapular over the blade.
After that you can work under the scapular with different techniques.
-
Special: Intercostalneuralgia
The client should be in a relaxed postion.
thew client my be in in a stretched position of side of the chest you like to work on
Work pointy between the rips
Area treatment over the rips is recommended
-
Special:Fasicia inside the Fossa olecrani
inside of the Fossa olecrani we find a Fascia, which is a problem during the extension of the elbow very often.
the elbow should be in a relaxed position in a 90 degree angle.Point treatment into the fossa olecraniiwe recommend the treatment of the triceps brachii in addition.
