The Role of Fascia in Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Look at Cinderella Tissue
Abstract
The word 'myofascia' refers to the interwoven, indivisible nature of the web of connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds muscle tissue (myo-). The 'myo' component of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) has been covered very well, but the same cannot be said for the 'fascial' component. In this article, fascia and its relationship with MPS are discussed.
