In addition to the common problems of muscles, tendons and ligaments, the popular "fascia" in recent years is also a soft tissue that our therapists can't ignore when dealing with cases. But now everyone is talking about fascia everywhere, but what is fascia? Do you have any special functions?
Fascia plays a role in transmitting "tension" in human body. From a passive point of view, when a muscle is tense, it may involve connected tissues; From an active point of view, any action in daily life needs the participation of multiple joints, and the connected fascia can help us complete it.

Flossband was developed by Sanctband Company in cooperation with German sports therapist Sven Kruse. Also known as the Voodoo Band. It is said that traditional African witch doctors will use similar methods of binding and pressing to relieve pain when helping local people to treat pain, hence the name.
If you don't know the feel of the Flossband, you can imagine it as a very tough elastic band, which is divided into four colors according to its strength (from light to heavy: cyan → blue → purple → gray), and then choose the appropriate strength according to your personal situation.
Simply put. The elastic band is tied to the body part in a pressurized way, and then moves the adjacent joints to generate actions, so as to pull, pressurize, rotate, contract and expand the soft tissues, improve the sliding function of the joints, restore the range of motion of the joints, exchange liquids and electrical signals in the soft tissues, and let fresh blood containing nutrients and oxygen enter the soft tissues for repair and strengthening.
Basic operation mode:
Winding from the distal end of the limb to the proximal end, no tension is applied in the first turn, and then the tension of each turn needs to be about 50%, and each turn covers about half the width of the previous section. The tension of the pain zone can reach 60-80%, and the overlapping area is half the width of elastic belt.
After dressing, according to the situation and needs, you can do some simple joint activities, and even let the patient do some actions that he usually does in special sports (such as waving his arm and waving a stick). ).)。 It is normal to feel tense and sour during the operation, but if there is cold limbs, numbness or skin stretching, it should be removed immediately! Remember that the whole process should not exceed two minutes, so as not to restrict blood circulation.
