Abstract:
Fascia,the initial response site for mechanical stimulation in manipulations,is also the target of the effect of manipulations.As the essence of manipulation is"force",how mechanical stimuli are transduced into neuroelectric and biochemical signals in the fascia and how physical and chemical signals of the fascia initiate the mechanical stimulation effect are the common key questions in the study of the principle of manipulation.The physical changes in the fascial connective tissue caused by the manipulation,such as the deformation and displacement of the fascial tissue,can act on the nerve end receptors in the fascial layer and generate neural electrical signals;they can also activate the mechanoreceptors on the fascial cell membrane and convert mechanical signals into chemical signals via mechanosensitive ion channel transduction,triggering a physicochemical coupling response in the fascial microenvironment and producing mechanical stimulation through neuro-endocrine-immune system pathways.The"mechanical force of manipulation"in the fascia is transmitted through the meridian to facilitate the body's perception and transmission of mechanical stimulation signals,indicating that the fascia is the"sensor"of coupled response to the physicochemical information of mechanical stimulation of manipulation.
