Qu'on les nomme : membranes, aponévroses, ligaments, mésos, toutes ces structures ne sont en fait que des fascias dérivés d'un même feuillet embryologique : le mésoderme, lui-même issu d'un tissu encore plus indifférencié : le tissu mésenchymateux.

Health practitioners and body workers need a firm understanding of the significance of fascia in human performance. The role nutrition plays in fascial health, how injuries and diseases influence fascia, and the rehabilitative techniques to restore functional capacity of the affected tissue are essential components of improving performance. This book starts with a basic overview of fascia and its biological underpinnings, and progresses through clinical treatment applications, nutritional and pharmacological support information, and techniques for managing fascial conditions and injuries.

Few books achieve the fond hopes of their authors and their admirers. This is just one that succeeds, making a genuine and profound contribution to the fields ofbiomechanics, orthopedics and rehabilitation. It moves with easy grace from any topic to its neighbor, shedding warmth and life to them all.

As one who has experienced both the high and low points of medical writing and editing over several decades, I see in these pages a true work of genius. It deserves a very wide readership and enthusiastic application of its lessons.

Welcome to an exciting new field in musculoskeletal therapy: the fascinating world of fascia.

As one half of a comprehensive two-volume publication that covers every angle of muscle pain and is edited by two of the leading figures in the field, this volume details the basic mechanisms of chronic muscle pain syndromes. It provides the practitioner with a deeper understanding of the physical processes involved in these often misunderstood conditions, and in clarifying the nature of muscle pain enables health care professionals to provide more effective treatment.
