Hering stated that ‘ retracing occurs from inside out , from most vital organ to least and in the reverse order from that in which the symptoms appeared ’. According to Dr Hering , true healing only occurred with retracing , 18 This is an incredible example of how the body may be following systematic patterns of healing from an application of a certain treatment by utilising either a biomechanical directional approach ( manual therapy techniques ) or a bioenergetic directional approach ( homeopathic remedies ). This opens the possibility that the body follows a certain pattern of healing that nature provides in its template . G . V . Webster summarised this philosophy when he wrote , ‘ Living things prefer persuasion to force , consideration to trauma , intelligence to ill-expended force . It is better to work with the tissues than at them . Nature has her rewards and penalties for the manner in which lesions are treated . Co-operate with nature ’. 19
Until the 20th century , fascia was cast aside as merely inert tissue that structurally supports muscles and vital organs of the body . From a modern understanding , Maxon 20 described Dr James Oschman ’ s understanding of the energetic nature of fascia in this way : ‘ connective tissue is a composite material , consisting of strong insoluble collagen fibres embedded in a gel-like ground substance . The fibres are arranged in highly ordered crystalline arrays . Like many other crystals , connective tissue is piezoelectric , i . e ., it generates electric fields when compressed or stretched . Hence , any movement of any part of the body , muscle , bone , skin , blood vessel , etc . generates characteristic electrical fields that spread through surrounding tissues . Since collagen is a semiconductor , the connective tissue is an integrated electronic network that allows all parts of the organism to communicate with each other ’. 20
Fascia truly reflects the physical manifestation of the osteopathic principle of structure and function interrelationship . According to Bordoni and Marelli , 21 ( p 29-33 ) ‘ The presence of a disorder of the myofascial continuum , during everyday movements and activities , can alter the emotional state of the person , as studies reveal in the presence of fibromyalgia and in other pathological situations .’ In terms of anatomical detail , the fascia is ‘ enveloping , interacting with and permeating blood vessels , nerves , viscera , meninges , bones , and muscles , creating various layers at different depths and forming a tridimensional metabolic and mechanical matrix . The fascia constitutes an organ that can affect an individual ’ s health ’. 21 ( p 29-33 ) The spiderweb or mycelial appearance of the tissue demonstrates that the different fascial layers have different types of innervation and ways in which communication is received and generated .
