Content

Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications is essential reading for medical and allied health practitioners who want to bring scientific insights of the importance of fascia to human health into their clinical practices.

Fascia – the biodynamic tissue that connects every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve in the body – is fast becoming the latest trend in healthcare and allied health modalities. This book is edited by David Lesondak, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, author of the international bestseller Fascia: What it is and why it matters, and Angeli Maun Akey, MD, international physician educator and board certified in both internal and integrative medicine. It contains contributions from a team of top researchers and expert practitioners including physicians, clinicians, therapists, dissectors, and surgeons.

Fully illustrated in color, this book presents the latest scientific knowledge of fascia and explains insights into problems like chronic pain and myriad musculoskeletal symptoms that may not respond to conventional treatments. It gives practitioners the information they need to make better decisions to improve the health of patients often without pharmaceuticals or surgeries.

FEATURES

• Provides comprehensive overview of how fascia, as a tissue and a system, affects various body functions and systems, from musculoskeletal disorders to nervous system, circulatory, and auto-immune function.

• A section devoted to medical applications highlights a comprehensive and critical overview of various fascial therapies.

• Gives practitioners the knowledge they need to refer or add as an adjunct therapy to their department or rehabilitation team.

This is a cutting-edge, practical guide that will appeal to researchers, physicians, and clinicians alike.

About the author

David Lesondak, BCSI, ATSI, FST, VMT, FFT is an Allied Health Member in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). He is the author of the international bestseller, currently in nine languages, Fascia: What it is and Why it Matters (Handspring). He also contributed to the 2nd Edition of Metabolic Therapies in Orthopedics (CRC Press).

He spent 10 years as ‘chief documentarian’ of the Fascia Research Group at Ulm University, Germany, where he produced over 80 educational videos covering the full spectrum of fascia research. He provided similar services to the Fascia Research Congress in 2012; and directed and co-produced Anatomy Trains Revealed, a three DVD, legacy media set, that takes Thomas Myers’ myofascial meridians concept from the page into real time exploration in the anatomy lab.

David’s passion for the science of fascia as well as his excellent communication skills always shine through whether he’s lecturing internationally, working through a translator, teaching a workshop, conducting a webinar or giving a podcast interview. Some of David’s more notable appearances include: the Fascia Research Congress, the Academic Consortium of Integrative Medicine and Health, University of Florida, University of Maryland, University of Arizona, Ulm University’s Fascia Summer School program, the Philadelphia 76ers STTAR Summit, the British Fascia Symposium, the Australian Fascia Symposium, as well as privately sponsored, hands-on workshops in Netherlands, South Korea, and France.

Still, his greatest joy remains working one-on-one with patients at the UPMC Center for Integrative Medicine, where he is the resident Fascia Specialist, and Board Certified Structural Integrator. He focuses on helping individuals resolve chronic pain, improving physical performance (especially post injury), and dealing with and post-surgical issues of all sorts.

David is also avid songwriter who plays guitar and studies voice.
