Fascias are one of the most exciting topics at present; a large number of publications are conquering the market. But also techniques such as facial training, massage, yoga and many more are pushing into consciousness, followed by all sorts of aids, the best known of which is probably the fascia roll.

But what exactly do fasciae consist of? What is their function and what do fasciae actually look like? This is exactly the question this book addresses.

Jean-Claude Guimberteau, in collaboration with his co-author Colin Armstrong, introduces the reader deep into the world of fasciae and thus makes an important contribution to understanding and their structure and function. For the visualization he uses innovative techniques of video endoscopy. This allows fasciae to be observed and examined in their living environment. The extensive pictorial material of this work, which fascinates not least by its aesthetics, reveals the incredible richness of colour and design of the woven structures "under the skin" of the living organism as well as its permanent movements and changes, while always ensuring the basic stability of the fascial body framework. From this research a groundbreaking and new concept about living tissue and the architecture of the human body, which will be groundbreaking for future scientific work in this field will. Leading experts from the fields of anatomy, biomechanics and manual therapy comment on the individual chapters and thus contribute their knowledge to this work.
