What is the Fascia Research Congress?

The First Fascia Research Congress in Boston in 2007 inaugurated what will be a continuing series of international conferences dedicated to the newly emerging field of "Fascia Studies." The principal focus of these conferences will be the presentation of the latest and best scientific research findings on the human fasciae in all its forms and functions.

This project has been conceived and organized by a multidisciplinary committee of science researchers and practicing health care professionals whose respective fields share a common focus and interest in the human body’s soft connective tissue matrix. An important continuing initiative of the Fascia Research Congress is to foster understanding and collaboration among scientists working in fascia research and the various clinical professionals in those practices where the human fasciae are important to theory and applications. The continuing goal is to provide high quality conference settings where these usually diverse groups can learn from one another and gain insights that will inform and enrich their respective areas of work and lead to new areas of scientific inquiry and improvements in applied methods.

The information developed at these conferences will be made available through this ongoing website and other available media (e.g., Proceedings Books, DVD Recordings) as a reference for professionals from the separate domains of basic research and clinical practice united in their shared interest in the human soft tissue matrix of the body.
