Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module-1)

Summary

Muscle Fibers are arranged longitudinally close to one another & the typical arrangements help them to be quite elastic & exhibit a lot of tensile strength but fail even with the slightest shearing force.
In Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) we are addressing the fascial adhesive bands which are results of the slightest shearing force because the muscle can only withstand longitudinal force & not shearing force.

The Fascial Adhesive Bands (FAB), Fascial Adhesions (FA) sometimes feels like a twisted leather belt or sometimes feels like a water wave near the joint or sometimes feels like a tight knot typically a nut or almond-sized, will be explained in detail.

Ligamental Fascial Band (LFB), Articulation Fascial Adhesion (AFA) can also be found at the insertion of the ligament which can be successfully treated with Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) of FIDN process which releases adhesions that occur due to cross-linking of the healing fibres.

Chronic fascial adhesive bands (CFAB) or Overuse Fascial Adhesions (OFA) are also effectively treated with this process which may involve sever pain because the adhesions should be broken from chronic bands so that it becomes acute fascial adhesive bands(AFAB).

Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) the treatment is based on the fundamental ideas that the development of fascial adhesion due to toxic adaptations are connective tissue dysfunction (CTD) which can be restored immediately by reduction of pain in the patient, which helps in restoring muscle strength, muscle mobility & muscle function.

Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) addresses the successful treatment of the muscles concerned with Low Back Pain (LBP), which plays 2 major roles in forming the multilayer myofascial structure of low back.

The various Knee Dysfunctional Syndromes (KDS), which involves pain, weakness as well as loss of function, are successfully treated by Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) by treating the Continuum of the ligament as well as the muscle, which is Retinacula. This exclusive technique in Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) is called as Retinacula Stimulation Technique (RST) and is used for a variety of knee dysfunctions.

Peripheral Pain Pathway Model (Module1) helps in bringing out the fear of needling of therapist & introduces him to the world of needling.
