@dhs7257 I don't think I can post a link but you can start by looking for a therapist near you at the therapist directory at myofascialrelease

@LeBauerPT thanks for the reply, appreciate it. are there actually physical therapists who specialize in fascia damage? i will check into some locally, but don't even have an idea where to begin.

@cvilleaful you should look for a physical therapist in your town that specializes in hands-on manual physical therapy, soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release and who can see you in a one-on-one setting. Good luck.

@LeBauerPT I have some sort of fascia strain in next to my achilles. What should i do to heal this?
-
@LeBauerPT continued... These damaged areas of fascial may effect your body in areas that do not even seem related. There can be pain and a long term effects of this damage, however one may not experience pain from or even limited range of motion from fascial damage. To determine if this is the case for you I would suggest visiting a local physical therapist or massage therapist who is an expert in diagnosing and treating fascia.

@dhs7257 sorry for the delayed response. when fascia is damaged by repetitive stress or strain, and injury or surgery, or when fascia is removed via surgery, a "scar" or adhesion can form that may restrict motion and create an environment that may cause or contribute to pain or limited range of motion in your body.

what happens if fascia is damaged, or removed? can there be pain, long-term effect?
