Self-myofascial techniques combined with assisted and self-stretching techniques.
Fascia
Connective tissue that surrounds muscles and bones.
True or False: Stretching can directly influence hydration.
True
Regional Interdependence (RI) Model
Assessment and intervention model used by clinicians based on the concept that the site of a
patient's primary complaint or symptoms is affected by dysfunction in remote musculoskeletal
regions.
Neurophysiological System
A physiological system dealing with the functioning of the nervous system.
Somatovisceral System
The part of the sensory system that responds to changes in internal body systems and organs.
Myofascia
The functional combination of both muscle and connective tissues.
Structural Efficiency
The alignment of each segment of the human movement system, which allows posture to be
balanced in relation to a person's center of gravity.

,Fascial System
A three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose, and dense fibrous
connective tissues that permeate the body providing functional structure and environment.
Functional Efficiency
The ability of the neuromuscular system to recruit correct muscle synergies, at the right time,
with the appropriate amount of force to perform functional tasks with the least amount of
energy and stress on the human movement system (HMS).
Fascial System Model
The model of human movement that considers the interconnectivity and interaction of the
fascial system throughout the body.
Fascial Nets
The concept of the myofascial tensional network that describes the interconnectedness of
specific chains of muscle and fascia located in different parts of the body as they relate to
functional movement patterns.
Super Compensation Hydration Phenomenon
The effect on tissue after tissue has been allowed to rest after stretch or compression; more
fluid rushes back into the tissues than was observed pre-stretch
Bound Water
Water forming in liquid crystalline structured patterns; Bound water has special molecular
properties that enable it to perform many crucial functions, including providing greater

, viscosity for the viscoelastic properties of fasciae. This property greatly enhances the flexibility
and elasticity of the fascial system
Bulk Water
Polluted water;
What other factors would be affecting a pronated foot-ankle complex, according to the
RI?
A pronated foot-ankle complex is only one part of a cascading chain of events, resulting in
more proximal faulty positions, like with an internally rotated knee and hip that may anteriorly
rotate the pelvis
A truly balanced HMS will have what?
Optimal structural and functional efficiency with proper alignment of the kinetic chain
checkpoints: the feet/ankles, knees, LPHC, shoulders, and head and neck
True or False: The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies used in
the RI model to include all the various types of connective tissues
The FS model may be thought of as an extension of the strategies used in the RI model to
include all the various types of connective tissues
What happens when a mechanical load is released?
An influx of fresh fluids enters to flush out metabolic waste, rehydrate, and bring fresh
nutrients to the area.
Why is it important to have structural efficiency and the alignment of each component
of the human movement system (HMS)?
