It has been speculated that repetitive patterns of movement will lead to specific patterns in fascia contraction, which, if it exceeds a specific limit, will lead to injury. Therapists working in the athletic environment are challenged to find ways not only to assess and measure fascia dysfunction, but also to restore functional strength by manipulating the fascia back to its neutral position. The 'Bunkie' test was developed over a period of 12 years to measure the function of the specific fascia lines in athletes. Numerous athletes from various sports were assessed and treated. Results have shown over the years that this test can be used successfully to find the cause of and treat injuries and to determine the progress of treatment in elite and recreational athletes.
