“Muscle spasms cause the muscle to fatigue very quickly, and also cause tightness that prevents the muscle from working through its full ROM. Foam
roll exercises release knots by applying deep pressure on these muscle spasms. It relaxes the muscle and allows it to be stretched back to its
normal length. Apply pressure for at least 20 to 30 seconds. This may get a little uncomfortable,
probably even a little painful.” (Michael Clark)

BACKGROUND AND TERMINOLOGY◦ Fascia: soft tissue component of the connective
tissue that provides support and protection for most structures within the human body, including muscle.
◦ Muscle: consist of individual muscle cells or muscle fibers bundled together by fascia.
21/02/2015 JELLE DUTHOIT - SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE 6
BACKGROUND AND TERMINOLOGY◦ Muscle tightness:
– Normal
– Tightness
– Excessive muscle tightness: result of brain over-stimulating(facilitation) the muscle

RATIONALESelf-myofascial release (SMR) works on two principles:
1. Mechanical model: ‘Breaks up’ adhesions in myofascial tissue
2. Neurophysiological model: Influence of the autonomic nervous system

1. Mechanical model: ‘Breaks up’ fascialadhesions and scarr tissue:
21/02/2015 JELLE DUTHOIT - SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE 24
Autogenic Inhibition:
The muscle contraction, that precedes the passive stretch,
stimulates the GTO, which causes relaxation that facilitate the passive stretch and allows a greater range
of motion (ROM).

Opmerking: Industry Expert Interview - Ian O'Dwyer
“My good friend Ian O’Dwyer taught me that often it’s not the central area of either muscle
or fascia that gets stuck down, it’s near the bony prominences. This makes a lot of sense, as it is near these bony areas where there is a lot of fascial overlap and opportunity for the fascial
planes to get stuck to one another.”
FAQWhat muscles?
◦ Best utilized on your functionally and/or chronically tight muscles
◦ This can be determined by having a proper assessment done by a qualified professional such as a physiotherapist, sports med. doctor, chiropractor.
◦ Assessment test muscles to treat
◦ Anatomic Trains (Tom Myers)
◦ FMS
21/02/2015 JELLE DUTHOIT - SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE 61
FAQ◦ Assessment test muscle to treat:
– Identifies your muscle imbalances and measures
your total body flexibility, strength, balance and
control
◦ Tests:– Overhead squat
– Single-leg squat
