Abstract
A basic theory that explains the healing results of FM® is that mechanoreceptors, such as spindle cells and other receptors, are located in the deep fascia and activated when movement are performed. Increased viscosity of the deep fascia and muscles due to increased viscosity of hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules prevents the normal gliding of fascia during movement inhibiting normal proprioception and muscle function.
