  S.j. S. asked:

  Happy New Year, group! A few questions of the group members: 1. Where do you go to find new research about massage therapist or related to massage therapy? 2. Can any of you provide any links/sources regarding research either supporting or debunking the gel/sol state of muscle tissue/fascia we were taught in school? 3. Can any of you provide any links/sources regarding hydrogen bonding of muscle tissue or the concept of muscle adhesions which MT is supposed to break up? Thank you!

  Sue: Regarding #2: I think it's a property of colloids that they turn more liquid when heat/pressure is applied, revert to more solid state when it's removed. So that even if putting pressure or heat on fascia or whatever did turn it to a more fluid st ate, it would revert pretty quickly once the agent of change was removed. And I think that's a basic principle of chemistry. Mind you, I'm going out on a limb here. I could be totally wrong. Someone more familiar may be able to verify this or not.
