Product Description
The fasciae comprise a wide variety of body tissues including the membranes, ligaments, tendons, and mesenteries. These tissues are all derived from the mesoderm, which undergoes coiling or rolling movements during embryonic development. This is the origin of the inherent micromovements, or motility, that are so vital in many osteopathic approaches to diagnosis and treatment. The fasciae are found at every level of the body and constitute a basic element of human physiology. They serve as the body’s first line of defense, acting independently of the central nervous system, which is why they are referred to as a peripheral brain. From a mechanical top of view, the fasciae are organized in chains to defend the body hostile to restrictions. When a restriction goes beyond a specific threshold, the fasciae answer by modifying their viscoelasticity, changing the collagenic fibers, and transforming healthy fascial chains into lesional chains. The fasciae keep a record of every trauma that causes a exchange in motility. Through the sensitivity of trained hands, we are able to perceive movements on a microlevel and can thus detect motility disturbances, which reveal the medical history of a patient. Remedial techniques, adapted to each patient, can restore normal motility. In this way, fascial disturbances can be overcome, allowing the body to recover its normal physiological functions. For this reason, we can say that the health of every person is reflected in large part in the fasciae. The Fasciae: Anatomy, Dysfunction and Treatment is the first book to organize the wealth of available in rank as regards fascial tissues from the fields of embryology, anatomy, histology, and pathology. It describes the roles and mechanisms of the fasciae, and details apt testing and treatment techniques. The book is richly illustrated with color and black and white drawings.

Nice book, but if you do not have previous medical education it will be very hard to read it, especially first part…also, many of things that are described in the book you can easily find on internet, but more understandable
Rating: 4 / 5
If you’re an osteopath or really into fascia, this book is the one to get. Fantastic pictures which clarifies where some of the “mystical fasciae” are situated in the body.

Paoletti, and his book on fascia are masterpieces. This is the best book on fascia out there. Simple yet comprehensive. Fantastic to have in your library! Anyone going into fascial work should read this book in order to know the vast inter-relationships of the structures you are manipulating. Structure governs function as the body is a functional unit.
