Dear Valued Patients

In light of an upcoming surgery I have to undergo the end of April, I will be closing my practice from 27th April until further notice.

As the recovery period for my surgery is uncertain, I am unable to provide a reopening date.

I will, however, keep you informed and communicate my return to work as soon as I receive the “all clear” to do so.

Thank you so much for your support, I have been blessed and privileged to have treated you and hope to continue doing so in due course.

With thanks and appreciation for your understanding.

Warm regards

Minta Botha

FASCIAL COMPARTMENTS
⠀
Posterior view of the pelvic region reveals interesting fascial links from thorax to pelvis to lower extremity.
⠀
This view is much closer to reality that many “muscle only” pictures.
The concept of named muscles is a manifestation of isolationist dissectors of years past who likely equated their findings on a dissection table to that of a butcher.
⠀
Protein “cuts” seemed to take shape and were named as muscles. However, this illustration shows the real anatomy which is an interconnected web of connective tissue that happens to have “compartments” that house contractile protein bundles.
⠀
The left side shows the fascial compartments for the glute max, semimembranosus and biceps femoris. On the right the compartment for the quadratus femoris is shown with the muscle protein removed.
⠀
One can easily see how muscle chains are the true reality as no muscle is isolated but is in fact just compartments along a much larger fascial system.
⠀
This concept can change the clinician’s approach to myofascial therapy or acupuncture. The best therapeutic effects may come from targeting fascial lines or chains rather than individual muscles only. Always think links.
