Relevanz myofaszialer Ketten in der Bewegungstherapie muskuloskeletaler Erkrankungen

Zusammenfassung

Nach neuen Erkenntnissen der Faszienforschung sind die Muskeln des menschlichen Körpers durch kollagenes Bindegewebe miteinander verbunden. Diese Verbindung scheint mechanische Relevanz zu besitzen. Weder die morphologische Kontinuität noch der Krafttransfer lassen sich jedoch auf die Wirkung myofaszialer Ketten reduzieren. Vielmehr fungiert das menschliche Fasziensystem als multidirektionales Kontinuum.

Obwohl für konkrete Therapieverfahren bislang nur schwache Evidenz vorliegt, scheint ein holistischer Ansatz sinnvoll, der den Therapieblickwinkel nicht auf den Ort der Symptomlokalisation einschränkt.

Abstract

According to current fascia research human muscles are linked by collagenous connective tissue. These links seem to have mechanical relevance. However, neither morphologic continuity nor force transmission can be reduced to the effects of myofascial chains. In fact, the human facial system acts as a multidirectional continuum.

Although there is currently only poor evidence for specific therapy modalities, a holistic approach seems to be reasonable which does not restrict the therapy perspective to the area of symptom location.
