Hmmm... I found this to be really really interesting!!
Thanks for posting Sarga Bodywork

SOURCES & RESEARCH FOR THEIR POST:

Fede et al. (2019) demonstrates hormonal modulation of collagen in fascia, the broader clinical implications are supported by:

Hypermobility & Hormones:
Slater et al. (2024) - “Fascia as a regulatory system in health and disease” - Front Neurol - confirms estrogen receptors in fascia & hormonal influence on fascial stiffness throughout menstrual cycle
HMSA (2024) - links hormonal fluctuations to worsening hypermobility symptoms during menstruation

Fibromyalgia in Women:
Slater et al. (2024) - notes perimenopausal women more susceptible to fibromyalgia due to hormone changes

Cyclical Pain & PMS:
Hoyos-Calderon et al. (2022) - Int J Environ Res Public Health - confirms myofascial trigger points in women with dysmenorrhea
Vincent & Tracey (2008) - Rev Pain - documents cyclical pain variations across menstrual cycle, greatest pain at times of low/falling estrogen

Collagen Type III Behavior:
Singh et al. (2023) - Front Immunol - describes collagen III as “more hydrophilic,” “less stable, and more likely to experience inflammatory responses” during tissue remodeling

Clinical Applications:
In-Touch Education (2022) & Move Empower PT (2025) - discuss how fascial tissue density changes with hormone levels

The primary Fede et al. (2019) study shows the mechanism (hormonal modulation of collagen production); these additional sources support the clinical patterns we see in practice. 🕸️🧬
