SCARS & FASCIA HEALTH GOES HAND IN HAND!

SCARS & FASCIA HEALTH GOES HAND IN HAND!
Hope everybody is having a great week! This week's article literally fell into my lap. Earlier last week, I was using my hoverboard to go to my office. All was great until I lost control of my board due to lack of concentration & probably underestimated the cracked sidewalk at the McGill gates.
I totally wiped out that day and injured myself badly falling on my elbow,shoulder and whole left side. No biggie, I cleaned the wounds and sprayed Yunnan Baiyao to reduce the swelling. To make sure that all the injuries were going to recover, I even used laser therapy and also did edema tapings on my forearm, wrist and left hip. Now comes the fun part... How am I going to train this week with injuries on every joint on my left side? I tried a few exercises and found that neutral grip bar presses was actually good considering my injuries.
What happens to me next was actually interesting! I was on my 5th set and my rotator cuff started shutting down. My supraspinatus started to hurt and it felt like I had an impingement. I tried to find a solution to my problem and found that the deep arm line was all screwed up. My ulnar Periosteum was initially in pain after the fall and still today a bit sensitive to the touch as I'm writing this article. I should have chosen a different exercise that didnt touch the line of my injury. So as you see fascia does matter in the body and can affect how injuries are perceived by the body. For people that wonder where can you find this information on all fascia lines : Anatomy Trains by Thomas Myers
