FASCIAL MANIPULATION
Jon is also one of the few therapists in the UK trained to carry out Fascial Manipulation, a ground breaking and innovative therapy including the manipulation of connective tissue to restore normal movement.
Fascial Manipulation is the newest and most exciting manual therapy technique added to our practice in years. Due to trauma, or inflammation, fascia may shorten and what was previously a pain-free range of motion may become painful and restricted. The normal sliding of the fascia becomes compromised and increases collagen production (scar tissue). Fascial Manipulation technique is a biomechanical system that fully treats abnormal adhesions or "densifications" usually present with orthopaedic conditions. These adhesions often change the direction of the way muscles and tendons pull. The mechanics of joints are then compromised causing recurring pain and/or injury.
