Adhesions in the thigh

The thigh consists of one of the strongest muscle groups in the human body. Since all muscles are pulled through and surrounded by fascia and connective tissue, they can become sticky in any area. These can hinder the gliding of the connective tissue layers among each other and thus make movements more difficult and also cause pain, which is rather diffuse and extensive.

Adhesions on the stomach

The abdomen is also covered with layers of connective tissue, which have an important supporting function and are also the base of the abdominal muscles. In addition, the human trunk is exposed to many twisting and shearing movements, so that the mobility of the layers among themselves is very important. Adhesions in the abdominal area can occur after operations, for example, if an infection and the associated inflammation have occurred.

Adhesions in the knee

The knee is held by a complex ligament and connective tissue apparatus and must withstand loads that can be many times our body weight in the short term. At the same time, it must also allow great freedom of movement. In the event of inflammation or long periods of inactivity, it is possible that these connective tissue layers may become shorter and partly stick together. This hinders the function of the knee and can lead to restricted movement and pain. However, it is important to distinguish knee pain from inflammatory diseases (arthritis) and degenerative phenomena (arthrosis), as these require a different therapy.

Bonding in the foot

Similar to the knee, the feet must be able to carry the entire body weight on a relatively small surface. For this purpose, they are equipped with muscles, which are supported by strong connective tissue ligaments. The strongest of these is the planar plantar aponeurosis, which stretches the longitudinal arch of the foot. In the event of inflammation or insufficient movement of the feet, these connective tissue ligaments can also shorten and mat.

Loosen adhesions of connective tissue

The adhesions of the connective tissue can be loosened by various methods. Slight adhesions can be released by independent stretching and a lot of movement. Connective tissue massages by a physiotherapist are another possibility.

Glued fasciae can usually be mobilized quite well by manual pressure. In addition, there is the so-called fascial therapy. This consists of making the fascia more mobile again by means of certain dynamic stretching exercises and replacing any previously hardened connective tissue cells with new, elastic cells.

The success does not start immediately after the first exercise unit, rather it is a gradual process that has a long and lasting effect. In addition, a fascia roller can be used as an aid to massage the connective tissue and loosen stuck fasciae. After a few weeks, an improvement in mobility and pain relief should be noticeable. A change in posture is also often accompanied by an improvement in symptoms.
