Outlining Fascial Armoring as a neuro-biomechanical medical entity in the form of bio-tensegrity tension and mechanical myofascioskeletal imbalance. Fascial armoring: myofibroblast-mediated-bio-tensegrity-tension and ECM abnormalities. Not all relationships are depicted with arrows in this scheme. Dashed arrows are meant for more visual clarity and have no special meaning. The occurrence of symptoms is not strictly dependent on the existence of pain. The clinical manifestation would depend on the anatomical location, structures involved, visceral organ involvement, and more. The theoretical model intrinsically has variations. ECM, extracellular matrix; POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
