Connective Tissue Manipulation.

Carried out by the Physiotherapist using the maleable pads of the fingers to move one layer of skin on the layer underneath. This motion causes a quick, sharp, stretch reflex, creating a reaction, which spreads out through the connective tissue. The patient’s brain translates this impulse as if it were a ‘cut’ or a ‘scratch’. The tighter the connective tissue the larger the stretch reflex and therefore the more intense the ‘cut’ feels to the patient. The reflex is a small impulse which travels through the liquid in the connective tissue and eases tension.

The lessening in stress around the blood vessel walls allows more blood to move into the injured area and so lessens the inflammation. Connective tissue manipulation helps in softening the connective tissue also allows more movement to happen without causing irritation and therefore pain. Dealing with this often begins further from the damaged area slowly moving closer to the source of injury. The improvements of Connective Tissue Manipulation are cumulative. Once the tension has been reduced by treatment the reduction is maintained. Further lessening in connective tissue tension occurs with every additional manipulation.

The degree to which the reduction in connective tissue tension is held at is dependant on the amount of tension added to the system by the individuals lifestyle. Connective Tissue Manipulation is a technique learnt at postgraduate level in the UK and due to this it hasn’t spread very quickly around the land. At last calculation, there were only two dozen Physiotherapists in the UK actively carrying out Connective Tissue Manipulation.
