Abstract

The fascial continuum is a topic for which all clinicians and other healthcare professionals come into contact on a daily basis, both consciously and without having the idea that the tissues they deal with can fall within the concept of fascia. The Foundation of Osteopathic Research and Clinical Endorsement (FORCE) organization includes many clinicians and health professionals, as well as researchers in different scientific disciplines. The goal is to dissect some concepts related to daily practice, such as fascial tissue, from a scientific point of view and impartially. Proof of the impartiality of FORCE is the fact that it does not sell any fascial products, no tools, and, above all, all the fascial terminology used has no copyright: research and knowledge are the right of anyone who wishes improvement for the good of the patient. The article aims to review the themes that could add new elements for a broader view of the meaning and nomenclature of the fascial system.
