Fascia, Function, and Medical ApplicationsEdition 2

Fascia is the biodynamic tissue that connects every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in the body; it is an emerging field in healthcare and allied health modalities. Following its predecessor, the second edition is essential reading for medical and allied health practitioners who want to bring scientific insights of the importance of fascia to human health into their clinical practices. It contains contributions from a team of top researchers and expert practitioners, including physicians, clinicians, therapists, dissectors, and surgeons. Illustrated in full color throughout, this book presents a vital update to the first edition to include the most up-to-date science and practical applications, written by the experts themselves. It provides insight and explanations for problems, including chronic low back pain, frozen shoulder, post-partum issues, chronic inflammation, and other symptoms that may not respond to more conventional treatments. It gives healthcare practitioners information they need to make better decisions to improve the health of patients, often without pharmaceuticals or surgeries.
