Myofascial Release Research

The research and other information presented here is directed specifically toward Myofascial Release, as well as fascial work in general. Many of the articles listed below directly cite Myofascial Release as an important component of successful treatments. Others offer the practitioner insight into aspects related to their work. I continually am gathering research and related articles pertinent to the field of Myofascial Release. As Internet information changes constantly, if you find a link that is not working, please email me to let me know.

  57. An integral theory of female urinary incontinence. Experimental and clinical considerations. (from the abstract) “Altered collagen/elastin in the vaginal connective tissue and/or its ligamentous supports may cause laxity. This dissipates the muscle contraction, causing stress incontinence, and/or activation of an inappropriate micturition reflex, (“bladder instability”) by stimulation of bladder base stretch receptors. The latter is manifested by symptoms of frequency, urgency, nocturia with or without urine loss.”
  58. Connective tissue in female urinary incontinence.
  59. Different organization of collagen fibrils in stress-incontinent women of fertile age. “CONCLUSION: Stress urinary incontinence in fertile women is associated with a change in collagen metabolism resulting in an increased concentration of collagen and larger collagen fibrils. These alterations should result in a more rigid form of extracellular matrix, suggesting a connective tissue with impaired mechanical function.”
  60. Changes of collagen type III and decorin in paraurethral connective tissue from women with stress urinary incontinence and prolapse. “The results suggest that a high level of decorin mRNA might be associated with the reduced content of collagen type III, resulting in a less flexible form of extracellular matrix in the connective tissue in SUI and prolapse patients.”
