Fascia Research Congress
“Fascia is the soft tissue component of the
connective tissue system that permeates the
human body.”
“Fascia extends to all fibrous connective tissues,
including aponeuroses, ligaments, tendons,
retinaculae, joint capsules, organ and vessel
tunics, the epineurium, the meninges, the
periostea, and all the endomysialand
intermuscularfibers of the myofasciae.”

FASCIAL ANATOMY
There are layers of fascia surrounding the
muscle from the macroscopic to the cellular
level:
Endomysium, deepest layer around
cells
Perimysium surrounds fascicles
Epimysium surrounds muscle

Dynament
Van derWalshowed that between muscles
and ligaments exist specialized CT
supportive structures and their osseous
attachments. These are usually dissected
away in traditional methods.
He termed it “dynament”
At high points of stress, more nerve
endings exist at the dynament
FUNCTION OF FASCIA
Compartmentalizes and surrounds all
structures, as an interconnected, fully contiguous
web
Maintains posture:
Fascia will adaptively shorten in whatever
position the body is kept
Observe posture to detect where muscles
may be restricted
Use MFR to release adhesions in the fascia
which limit motion and cause postural asymmetry
