Myofascial tissue is that white membrane you see when you pull the skin off a piece of chicken. The same tissue exists in the human body. Myofascial tissue is continuous and omnipresent in the body. It interweaves and wraps muscles, and every division of tissue within the muscle. By weight, 40% of a muscle is actually fascial tissue. Myofascial tissue has many functions but chief among them is to serve as a lubricant, allowing everything in the body to slide on everything adjacent to it.
Where there is chronic or acute pain, limited or difficult range of motion, ongoing stress and tension, there is almost always myofascial tissue which needs to be released and relaxed.
