Fascia Research – Basic Science and Implications for Conventional and Complementary Health Care by editors Thomas W. Findley, Robert Schleip et al.
\nFascia is the soft tissue component of the connective tissue system that permeates the human body.
\nIt forms a whole body continuous three-dimensional matrix of structural support.
\nIt interpenetrates and surrounds all organs, muscles, bones and nerve fibers, creating a unique environment for body systems functioning.
\nThere is a substantial body of research on connective tissue generally focused on specialized genetic and molecular aspects of the extracellular matrix.
\nThe study of fascia and its function as an organ of support has advanced since the Fascia Research Congresses in 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2015.
\nThe purpose of those conference books is to organize relevant information for scientists involved in the research of the body\u0092s connective tissue matrix (fascia) as well as professionals involved in the therapeutic manipulation of this body wide structural fabric.
\nIt includes background full text papers from a wide range of journals and abstracts presented at the International Fascia Research Congresses, the most recent one in Washington D.C. in September 2015.<\/p>\n
The topics are \u0096 among others:
\n\u0095 Fluid Dynamics
\n\u0095 Cytology & Histology
\n\u0095 Mechanotransduction and Biomechanics
\n\u0095 Gross Anatomy
\n\u0095 Surgery and Scars
\n\u0095 Pathology
\n\u0095 Pain and Innervation
\n\u0095 Therapy
\n\u0095 Research Methods, Imaging and Hypotheses<\/p>\n
New scientific findings reported at the congresses include:
\nExtracellular fluid pressure gradients meaintain function in soft tissues as well as bone
\nIn vivo tissue streching causes changes in the fibroblast nuclear structure
\nChanges in the fibroblast can affect stiffness and viscosity of ceonnective tissue within minutes
\nMechanical forces control embryological development as well as adult cell function
\nThe structure of extracellular fibers in muscular connective tissue affects its function
\nFascial connection between muscles can be seen in anatomical dissection and in living tissue
\nHyaluronic acid provides a lubricating layer beween muscle and deep fascia
\nConnections between a tendon and its sheath move up to 2 centimeters
\nLoading and recovery of ceonnctive tissue in tendons and its implications for therapy
\nMechanism of fascial and muscle pain
\nMassage activates cellular pathways responsive to mechanical interventions
\nCellular models and direct imaging of tissue effects of clinical interventions
\nNew imaging techniques of ultrasound and second harmonic generation laser microscopy
\nand other topics.<\/p>\n
The previous conference books for 2007 and 2009 Vol. I -III are also available.<\/p>\n
