Is A Pain-Free Shoulder Closer Than You Think?
It May Be All About Your Fascia
Did you know that the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your shoulder all rest beneath layers of fascia that support their function? Fascia is a type of connective tissue that runs throughout the body and enables every movement we make. Damaged fascia may actually play an important role in many common shoulder conditions and injuries.
It may even drive painful symptoms that follow tendonitis, osteoarthritis, aging-related aches and pains, post-surgical discomfort, bursitis, frozen shoulder, sprains, tears, and more.1 2 3 4 5 6 7
How does it happen?
Generally, the fascial layers are hydrated and spacious enough to allow for comfortable movement. However, studies have found that due to injury, poor posture, overuse, and other factors, fascia may become tightened, dehydrated, and thickened and may compromise nearby structures.8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Overuse, injury, surgery, and simple wear-and-tear can all impact the fascia around our shoulders. Impacted fascia may affect the structures underneath it or nerves within it and lead to the prolonged symptoms of many shoulder conditions and injuries.1 2 3 4 5 6 7
