Modern science sees the connective tissue system as a three-dimensional structural and informational network, which regulates, supports, and stabilises the body.
The daily activities and stresses on physical, emotional, and mental level cause tension and imbalance in the connective tissue leading to muscular tension and nervous system overload, which over time may cause aches and pains in the neck and low back, in the hips or knee joints and develop into osteoarthritis, spine arthritis or cause disc hernia, meniscus lesions, TMJ problems, even sleep problems and digestive issues, weight gain, higher risk of injury and accelerated aging.
Chronic pain and illness is in most cases a sensation caused by chronic, very often the so-called silent inflammation and connective tissue adhesion. Myofascial trigger points are the most common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes.
Psycho-emotional problems can cause muscular tension and add further load to tissue dehydration and nervous system overload.
