A multitude of studies and theories have been proposed to identify the human fascial system and its role , consequently the human body has a deliberate role in keeping all body systems functioning to the best of its ability. Authors have explained the ramification and growth of post surgical scar tissue on the fascial system, despite that literature explains a scope of theories. This appraisal will focus on its major thesis questioned and emerged frequently by many authors ,this review will begin with emphasising on the justification of all findings subsequently. Hence investigating all current postulation in the literature on post surgical scar tissue development and effect on the fascial system, this study consequence will be discussing clear primary deliberation on the prons and cons of fascia and scar tissue interrelation on the human body structure .
Within every body, fascia is a major part that is stretchy fibrous material, made up of reticulin, elastin and collagen and described as protective soft tissue matrix , that covers all somatic tissue ( Luchea, 2014) .Fascia has four primary layers the outer most layer is known as the appendicular fascia , deep to the panniculus layer is axial fascia , thus axial fascia has a continues layer known as appendicular fascia , neural structures are surrounded by meningeal fascia and the larges fascia that covers all body cavities is visceral fascia ( Schliep, 2003). Hence fascia and muscle make up the myofascia system and its described as “a superficial body suit”( Jenings.com, 2014) that permit an individual to move freely. Accordingly the post surgical scar tissue has many biomechanics and histology that diverge to those non traumatised connective tissue. Scar tissue replaces damag...

...scar tissue manipulation and mobilisation with fascial release, massage, visceral massage and lymph draining and the effect of tattoos and myofascial release that can change a persons posture, curvature, height , muscle stiffness and daily wellbeing (Hovey, 2010).
Additionally , authors identified the great importance of fascia and the effect of scar tissue on the body, studies showed scar tissue release will be bought to the forefront of therapy and treatment. Massage therapy release treatment by Hovey and Werner can make remarkable and effective effect on health and well-being of patients , by integrating scar tissue release therapy into their treatment. Also as MacDonald ,Lewit and olsanska explained and used the importance of visceral massage,therapeutic and lymph draining to help with ramification and growth of post surgical scar tissue on the fascial system.
In this paper I will clarify the relation between the integumentary system and the skeletal system. During this paper I will address how the two systems work together to maintain homeostasis and what occurs when balance is not maintained between the integumentary and skeletal system. During this paper I will explain how osteoporosis is directly linked between both the integumentary and skeletal system and ways to prevent or yield this disease.
When microdermabrasion removes the outer layer of skin the body then goes into a healing mode that promotes the making of new healthier cells. Microdermabrasion is like when one sustains an injury to his skin and the body sends treatment molecules to heal the damage. Mariane Fernandes conducted an experiment with the aim to evaluate the effects of microdermabrasion on skin rejuvenation. Fernandes stated in her article “Effects of microdermabrasion on skin rejuvenation” in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy that “Microdermabrasion treatment promoted skin rejuvenation through an increase in skin thickness due to an increase in epidermal thickness and collagen organization” (Fernandes 26). Acne weakens and thins the skin epidermal layers, causing acne scars. Microdermabrasion heals the weak, thin, and fragile skin, which makes the skin smooth and more resistant to other damaging conditions. Doctor Bruce M. Freedman an aesthetic plastic surgeon and assistant professor of plastic surgery at Georgetown University also analyzed the dermatological changes associated with microdermabrasion in “Clinical and histologic changes determine optimal treatment regimens for microdermabrasion” in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment. Freedman’s experiment also yielded results of an increase of epidermal thickness
This report will explore the structure and function of skeletal muscle within the human body. There are three muscle classifications: smooth (looks smooth), cardiac (looks striated) and skeletal (looks striated). Smooth muscle is found within blood vessels, the gut and the intestines; it assists the movement of substances by contracting and relaxing, this is an involuntary effort. The heart is composed of cardiac muscle, which contracts rhythmically nonstop for the entire duration of a person’s life and again is an involuntary movement of the body. The main focus of this report is on skeletal muscle and the movement produced which is inflicted by conscious thought unless there is a potentially harmful stimulus and then reaction is due to reflex, as the body naturally wants to protect itself. Skeletal muscle is found attached to bones and when they contract and relax they produce movement, there is a specific process that the muscle fibers go through to allow this to occur.
MEBO Scar ointment was found to producesignificantly better outcomes from the perspective of aestheticsin comparison to the control group. Overall, itching relief was observed in 97.5% patients; texture was normal in 50% and soft in 47.5%; scar shrinkage in 97.5%; skin color was close to normal in 75% and light in 22.5% (p<0.001, for all parameters) (Table 4). In this study ,there was no adverse effect or allergy were recorded in test
Graston instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (GITSM) is a tool used by therapist and chiropractors to help break up the scar tissue and replace it with fibroblast allowing for faster recoveries (Black 2010). A series of heat, GISTM, then strength and flexibility training are required (Black 2010). Numerous studies have been conducted, by certified therapist qualified in GISTM, to examine the styles and recovery periods after an injury. After going through the treatment, patients are measured by their range of motion (ROM) to see if the treatments were effective or not (Black 2010). ROM can vary depending on the region of the body that is being treated, but the overall goal of GISTM is to allow a person to get back to their regular routines they had before their injury. A study conducted by Logan College of Chiropractic shows that plantar fasciitis (foot) can be treated by GISTM on the first day of treatment (Daniels and Morrell 2012). Another study by Duke University shows that GISTM can be effective for patients after surgery that had an injury in the Patellar tendon (knee) (Black 2010). After several treatments, GISTM can, also, be used to treat a compression fracture in the lumbar (back) (Papa 2012). Each study shows the method of GISTM, the patient’s recovery period along with the methods of recovery.
The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissue and other organs together. Each muscle is a discreet organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Did you know there are roughly 600 organs that make up the muscular system? They include the cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, and skeletal muscles to name a few. The heart is the cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle are the tissues that line blood vessels and organs, such as the stomach and intestines. The skeletal muscles, which are the most well known and familiar of the muscle organ system, helps hold the skeletal frame work together. They make up bout 40 percent of the
By stimulating the largest organ in our body, that is the skin, cupping is believed to yield immense health benefits.[1] Chinese medicine works based on the principle of flow of energy, _qi_. Illnesses occur when there is a blockage in the flow of energy. Cupping aims at facilitating the free flow of energy to restore balance and healing. There are quite a handful of studies on cupping benefits, but most of them are inconclusive and call for further studies. Here are some of the conditions that could potentially be eased by cupping:
Cosmetic Surgery is the procedure done to restore or improve one’s physical appearance. The use of surgery to have an actualization of a want tends to be unneeded since it is not in line with the purpose of reestablishing what was lost or damaged. Although cosmetic surgery intends to be used for restoration purposes, many people have abused it for the sake of vanity. Cosmetic surgery also has good and bad effects on the person in many different aspects.
The musculoskeletal system was designed to provide the body its form, support, stability and movement. It's made up of 206 bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue which help support and binds
The musculoskeletal system has a make up of bones in the skeleton as well as muscles, tendons and joints but also other connective tissue that sustain and join tissues and organs together. The primary functions of the musculoskeletal system are to support the body, allow motion, and protect vital organs.
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular system in vertebrates is controlled through the nervous system, although some muscles can be completely autonomous. Together with the skeletal system it forms the musculoskeletal system, which is responsible for movement of the human body.
The musculoskeletal system is comprised of bones, joints, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, fascia and muscles. Together these body parts work to establish a framework that is the musculoskeletal system. This framework is what gives the body its shape, form, and figure. It stabilizes the body as well as supplies the structural support. The musculoskeletal body features not only provide a framework for your body but allows your ability to create movement. These movements are monitored by the musculoskeletal components which then determine your degree of flexibility. Overall the amount of energy your body uses comes almost entirely from these musculoskeletal functions. Which makes sense because it
There wasn’t much progress for centuries till World War I. Many soldiers were coming back home with severe injuries on their bodies. Since there were more and more people in need of these surgeries, reconstructive surgery started to develop even further. They came up with new techniques such as trying to rebuild entire limbs, ...

Plastic surgery is identified as the process of restructuring or fixing parts of the body by the transferal of tissue. Largely, surgeons utilize plastic surgery for the treatment of damage or for cosmetic purposes. As far as history has shown us, the first plastic surgery was found to be implemented in India during the period of the Indus Valley Civilization. India also started practicing reconstructive surgery techniques by around the era of 800 BC. The Romans were also known to perform plastic surgery. Moving ahead into plastic surgery’s developmental history, in the years prior to the First World War, a vast amount of developments were beginning to change the practices of surgery in general, and facial reconstruction in particular.
