Tytuł: Impact of manual release of the diaphragm on the tension of the superficial fascia
Abstrakt:
Introduction: In the human body diaphragm performs a variety of complex functions that do not limit only to its participation in the breathing process. Previous studies concerned with diaphragm’s functionalities prove its vital role in supporting the proper flow of blood and lymph as well as in maintaining correct body posture. In addition, diaphragm also has an influence on the functioning of heart and the digestive tract. The contraction of the diaphragm stabilizes the spine by affecting the L1-L3 segments to which diaphragm’s branches are attached. Being part of the myofascial system, diaphragm anatomically and functionally connects with the entire spine through fascia and its fascia trains. The aim of study: This thesis aimed at investigating the correlation between the tension of the fascia within the diaphragm area and the tension of the superficial posterior tape. Three research questions were raised: Does the therapy of myofascial relaxation of the diaphragm within the diaphragm tendon attachments area increase the range of motion of the lumbar spine? Can therapy conducted within the diaphragm area reduce the tension of the multifidus, longissimus and iliocostal muscles (measured with the use of sEMG)? Will this therapy change the peak expiratory flow of the lungs (PEF)? Materials and methods: In the study, 92 people age 20-40 were examined. The participants, in the p ; eriod preceding the study (minimum 3 months), did not report any pain in the lumbar spine and met the general study inclusion criteria. In the examined group, the technique of myofascial diaphragm relaxation was used. In the control group, classical massage was performed. Before and after the therapy three parameters were evaluated: the range of spinal motion (measured with the use of an inclinometer) and the muscle tension of the muscles included in the rectifier spine (checked with the use of sEMG). Furthermore, this study measured also the value of the peak (first-second) expiratory lung flow. Results: After the therapy, an increase in the mobility of the spine in all directions was observed. There was a statistically significant improvement in the backward bend and side bend to the right and to the left. No statistically significant differences before and after the therapy were noted in muscle tension and the value of the first-second exhalation. Conlusions: Myofascial diaphragm relaxation therapy increases the range of motion of the lumbar section in all directions.
