Pathophysiology of Myofascial Syndrome

Nicola Petrogalli

The Myofascial System is a network for the managing of the biotensegrity of an organism and whose task is to maintain a tensional homeostasis, related to the concept of chemical homeostasis. The human body is ‘kept in shape’ by a network of connective tissue and muscles forming the Myofascial System, arranged in Myofascial Units (MFU) which in turn can be subdivided in many different Myofascial Districts or, in simple terms, different muscles together with the myofascial layers associated to them.
