Adhesions & Restrictions

    An adhesion is the sticking together of layers of tissue. A restriction
    is  a  decrease  in  motion  of  a  structure,  both resulting in reduced
    movement.

    Restrictions and adhesions can be caused by;
  • Impact injuries or injuries of repetitive movement that place
    strain on the body.
  • Infection, usually causes cellular injury, as the tissue heals it
     is often adhered to nearby tissue.
  • Trauma, emotional or physical.
  • Surgery.

                                     Freeing From Adhesions and Restrictions

    This is  achieved  by  specific  placement  of  soft  manual forces to encourage  the  
    normal  mobility,  tone  and  motion  of  the  affected  regions and  their connective
    tissues.  Thus potentially improve the functioning  of  the  individual  structure,  the
    systems the  structure function within, and the structural integrity of  the entire body.

    If  a  structure or  an organ  is  reduced  in its  capacity to move,  the  fluid  exchange  
    between  the  cells  can  also  be  reduced.   Fluids  contain  energy  in  the  form  of  
    blood,  oxygen,  nutrients,  chemical messengers,  and  is essential  for  the  removal  
    of  waste  products from cells.

    For example, the caecum is  a  little  cul-de-sac  where  the  small intestine meets the
    large  intestine at  the right  hip in  front of  the  psoas  muscle.

    If  the caecum adheres to the psoas muscle - perhaps  from  repetitive movement  that
    placed strain on the area,  or scar tissue from an appendectomy,  or from the force of
    impact from a car accident - this  can  reduce  your  strength  of  lifting  the  right  leg,
    reduce range of stretch, and can cause pain.

    Digestion  maybe  agitated  too,  as  the  caecum  is  the  area of a high absorption of
    electrolytes  which are essential to the normal function of all cells,  and  involved in
    metabolic  activities,  and  electrochemical  impulses  in  nerves  and  muscle  cells.

    Freeing  the adhered caecum  from the psoas can facilitate both structures to return to
    there optimum function.
