Fascia Focused Manual Therapy Interventions-Proposed Treatment for Post-COVID Syndrome
The novel virus identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus [SARS-CoV-2] has resulted in the Coronavirus disease [COVID-19] worldwide pandemic. Confirmed cases of COVID-19 has surpassed 57 million people globally and numbers are exponentially increasing weekly. Significant numbers of recovering patients are reporting long-term, on-going painful soft tissue and respiratory complications. While the total number of deaths directly associated with COVID-19 has exceeded 1million people worldwide, a more accurate figure is estimated to be significantly higher due to limited testing and issues around accurately attributing cause of death.

What is Fascia
Have you heard about connective tissue? You know that thin tissue around our muscles? New research shows that the connective tissue is more than that. It is a network without beginning or end, from the skin, through the entire body, to the smallest cell. Fascia research deepens our knowledge of the body – and the results are incredibly fascinating.
FASCIA, FABRICA OR FABRIC – On the Origin of Fascia
Preeminent embryologist Jaap van der Wal, MD, PhD, discusses the intersections between biotensegrity, embryology and fascia. Former associate professor in Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Maastricht, Holland, and a teacher of courses in Philosophy of Science and Medical Anthropology, Dr. van der Wal now devotes his energy to teaching Embryosophy with his worldwide project “Embryo in Motion”.
