For a long time, muscle fascia was considered to be just the white “saran wrap” around your muscles. In fact, when I was in medical school, we were instructed to remove the fascia from cadavers so we could study “the important stuff” underneath. This is how most doctors, massage therapists, yoga instructors and other movement specialists have been taught to view the human body. As it turns out, this is a huge mistake!
The primary avenue of headache treatment through the medical model is with drugs; surgery is used only in the most desperate situations.
