Superficial fascia

The supraspinatus fascia is a dense connective tissue that surrounds and supports the various muscles and tendons in the shoulder area. It consists of collagen and elastin, which provide its strength and flexibility. Fascia plays an important role in stabilizing the shoulder joint and protecting it from injury.

The supraspinatus fascia begins on the anterior surface of the scapula, passes through the shoulder and attaches to the supraspinatus muscle. It also covers the supraspinatus tendon and provides stability. Fascia also helps maintain the shape and function of the shoulder joint.

However, under certain conditions, such as injury or illness, the fascia can become less elastic and strong, which can lead to it tearing or stretching. This can cause pain and discomfort in the shoulder joint and limit its mobility.

A variety of treatments are used to repair the supraspinatus fascia, including physical therapy, massage, stretching and strengthening exercises. Injections of hyaluronic acid or collagen may also be used to improve the elasticity and strength of the fascia.

Overall, the supraspinatus fascia plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the shoulder joint, so its health and functionality must be maintained.
