Liver Dysfunction: Biochemical, Fascia, or Fluid

The various mechanisms of dysfunction in the liver The liver, a vital organ in the human body, can be affected by various mechanisms of dysfunction, leading to a wide range of liver diseases and conditions. These mechanisms can be broadly categorized into several key...
Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis

Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissues, including cartilage and bone. It is characterized by warm, swollen, and painful joints. Left untreated, RA can cause permanent joint destruction and disability....

Understanding Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren’s contracture is a hand condition where thick, scar-like tissue bands form underneath the skin of the palm and pull one or more fingers into a bent position. It typically begins as a small lump or pit in the palm and slowly progresses over time. The...

Determining Appropriate Pressure in VFRT

Determining the right amount of pressure is a crucial skill for Vibrational Fascia Release Technique (VFRT) practitioners to develop. However, as a beginner, knowing whether you’re applying too much or too little pressure can be challenging. What are some ways...

The Importance of Proper Pressure in Tuning Fork VFRT

In the Vibrational Fascia Release Technique (VFRT), the amount of pressure applied by the practitioner is a critical aspect that requires careful balance. Too little pressure may not yield the desired therapeutic effects of releasing tension in the fascia, while too...

Reflexive Relaxation

In the field of neuroscience and human physiology, a reflex is an automatic, involuntary response to a stimulus. In the context of reflexive relaxation induced by vibrations, we're particularly interested in a specific reflex called the "stretch...

The Complex Role of Mechanical Vibrations in Fascial Physiology

Fascia refers to the dense irregular connective tissues that surround and penetrate muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels and organs throughout the body. Specifically, fascia is composed of an extracellular matrix consisting predominantly of tangled collagen and...

Neural Modulation

Mechanical vibrations can indeed impact our nervous system and influence how we perceive pain. This is an important aspect of vibration therapy that makes it potentially beneficial for various health conditions, including chronic pain and muscle tension. Firstly,...

Fascial Hydration

Fascia refers to the connective tissue that encases and interconnects muscles, organs, and other structures within the body. This complex network is not only a protective layer, but it also enables the smooth and coordinated movement of different bodily parts. The...

Inflammatory Modulation

Inflammation is a crucial part of the body's immune response, occurring when tissues are damaged by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause. It's characterized by pain, heat, redness, swelling, and sometimes loss of function. While inflammation is...
