Fascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body is the first comprehensive text on fascia, a new field in musculoskeletal medicine and research. Fascia—the continuous, film-like material that encapsulates every organ, muscle, and nerve forming a complex interconnected network—is found to play an important role in the body’s normal function and dysfunction.
For example, the contractile and tensional forces of a muscles are transmitted and distributed from one muscle unit to another via the fascia network, before being converted to a body movement. This textbook explores the physiology, anatomy, and interconnectedness of fascia, as well as the contribution of fascia to health and pathology.
