The function of the movement is to create flexion of the torso and hips, stretch the knees and dorsal flex the foot. When the body is upright and the hips stretched the line operates as a whole integrated Fascia. From toes to the pelvis and from the pelvis to the skull. This line connects the entire front of the body from the feet to the sides of the skull in two parts. As this occurs, and the basal lamina is also diluted the cells in the area does not get enough nutrition and hydration, and a vicious circle and state of illness is initiated. The collagen fibers of the Fascia builds up and becomes more stiff and locked from overload / poor mobility. Then, the extra-cellular matrix (basal lamina) is thinned and membranes stick together. You can see that in parts of the body that are blocked, where muscles are locked in either a static mode, or short locked mode and skeletal parts have gotten out of position. In this basic substance nutrient exchange and communication between cells and body parts can occur. The Fascia consists of many types of collagen, elastin, retinacula fibers, and the sticky proteins called “basal lamina” or also known as the extra-cellular matrix. If we add on the knowledge of the Fascia’s power transmitting function, the picture is much more complex.Īll tissue in the body is naturally linked to the network that the Fascia forms, but these lines are more clearly distinguishable from other tissue and appears to transmit signals / operating with more power through these pathways. The old view of muscles, the theory of “isolated muscle function” is that muscles only work between attachment and origin and mostly contracts and resists during extension. The map of Fascia lines shows the longitudinal bands and loops of connective tissue including muscles and organs, which is based on the relatively new anatomical knowledge and analysis of how the musculoskeletal system really works. In Myers book “Anatomy Trains” ligaments are described as the “inner bag” and outside them are Fascia based pathways, lines, interconnected longitudinal structures that distribute power and compensation.
So connective tissue structures work in sync, creating a fluid and balanced movement and a posture that maintains balance and direct contact between all body parts.
These Fascia lines create stability, resistance, power, flexibility, elasticity, and above all- compensatory posture. They consist of membranes and ligaments, both superficial and deep connective tissue, loose and tight. These interconnections can be called Fascia lines and can be followed by the body’s dissectible “meridians” of connective tissue structures. The basic hypothesis of Thomas Myers’ writings on Fascia kinetic lines is that muscles, no matter what they do individually, also affect tissues throughout the entire body through Fascia based interconnections.
