Principally based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed human
cadavers over the past decade, Functional Atlas of the Human
Fascial System presents a new vision of the human fascial system
using anatomical and histological photographs along with
microscopic analysis and biomechanical evaluation. Prof. Carla
Stecco - orthopaedic surgeon and professor of anatomy and sport
activities - brings together the research of a multi-specialist
team of researchers and clinicians consisting of anatomists,
biomechanical engineers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and plastic
surgeons. In this Atlas Prof. Stecco presents for the first time a
global view of fasciae and the actual connections that describe the
myofascial kinetic chains. These descriptions help to explain how
fascia plays a part in myofascial dysfunction and disease as well
as how it may alter muscle function and disturb proprioceptive
input. Prof. Stecco also highlights the continuity of the fascial
planes, explaining the function of the fasciae and their connection
between muscles, nerves and blood vessels. This understanding will
help guide the practitioner in selecting the proper technique for a
specific fascial problem with a view to enhancing manual therapy
methods. Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System opens with
the first chapter classifying connective tissue and explaining its
composition in terms of percentages of fibres, cells and
extracellular matrix. The second chapter goes on to describe the
general characteristics of the superficial fascia from a
macroscopic and microscopic point of view; while the third analyzes
the deep fascia in the same manner. The subsequent five chapters
describe the fasciae from a topographical perspective. In this part
of the Atlas, common anatomical terminology is used throughout to
refer to the various fasciae but it also stresses the continuity of
fasciae between the different bodily regions. Over 300 unique
photographs which show fascia on fresh (not embalmed) cadavers
Demonstrates the composition, form and function of the fascial
system Highlights the role of the deep fascia for proprioception
and peripheral motor coordination Companion website -

ligaments
Grounded in scientific and clinical evidence, this highly
illustrated new guide gives an introduction to the diagnosis and
treatment of musculoskeletal disorders using the Fascial
Manipulation (FM) method developed by Luigi Stecco - the foremost
scientifically valid method of evaluating and treating fascial
dysfunction. It describes FM's history, anatomy and physiology of
fasciae, indications and contraindications, mechanisms of action,
and details of the subjective and physical techniques used to
manage disorders. A Practical Guide to Fascial Manipulation focuses
on concepts around evaluating the fascia based on functional
testing, movement and direction in specific spatial planes, and the
location of specific areas to treat safely. With an emphasis
throughout on accessible practical information, the book is also
supported by a website - www.guidefascial.com - containing
procedural video clips and an image bank.
