🎙PODCAST: Myofascial Expansions
Aug 03, 2025In episode 517 of The ABMP Podcast, Rachelle and Nicole discuss a lesser-known part of the force-transmitting system of the human body: myofascial expansions—precise anatomical connections where skeletal muscles insert into fascia, not just bones. 🎧 LISTEN HERE.
The musculoskeletal system is at the heart of anatomy education for most massage therapists. But when we add the fascial system, how does that change the movement story?
✨ What you'll discover:
- How these specific fascial connections amplify muscular force
- Fascia's crucial role in proprioception and neuromuscular coordination
- Real-world examples (ever misjudge stepping off a curb? That's your fascial system at work!)
Understanding myofascial expansions helps therapists work more effectively by looking beyond individual muscles and considering the more expansive interconnected whole.
