WHY FASCIA MATTERS? Scientific evidence for the role of fascia in low back pain and how to manage it with Fascial Manipulation technique
While vertebrae, discs, neural tissues and muscles serve as prime targets in low back pain research, recent developments have revealed a surprising significance of fascial tissue in human biomechanics and neurophysiology. This workshop will present the gross and microscopic anatomy of the thoracolumbar fascia, with a special focus into its role in tensional force transmission, proprioception and nociception. Finally, the diagnosis, treatment and prevention will be discussed, presenting the recent researches about imaging and the main concepts of Fascial Manipulation technique.
