This book is the product of an important collaboration between clinicians of the manual therapies & scientists in several disciplines that grew out of the three recent International Fascia Research Congresses (Boston, Amsterdam, & Vancouver). The book editors, Thomas Findley MD Ph D, Robert Schleip Ph D, Peter Huijing Ph D & Leon Chaitow DO, were major organizers of these congresses & used their extensive experience to select chapters & contributors for this book. This volume therefore brings together contributors from diverse backgrounds who share the desire to bridge the gap between theory & practice in our current knowledge of the fascia & goes beyond the 2007, 2009 & 2012 congresses to define the state-of-the-art, from both the clinical & scientific perspective.
