Based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed human cadavers, this atlas presents a comprehensive view of the human fascial system through anatomical and histological photographs, microscopic analysis, and biomechanical evaluation. Authored by Prof. Carla Stecco, an orthopaedic surgeon and anatomy professor, it integrates research from a diverse team of specialists, including anatomists, biomechanical engineers, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and plastic surgeons. For the first time, the atlas offers a global perspective on fasciae and their connections within myofascial kinetic chains, elucidating their role in dysfunction and disease, as well as their impact on muscle function and proprioceptive input. Prof. Stecco emphasizes the continuity of fascial planes and their connections to muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, guiding practitioners in selecting appropriate techniques for specific fascial issues to enhance manual therapy. The atlas begins with a classification of connective tissue, detailing its composition, and proceeds to examine the superficial and deep fascia from both macroscopic and microscopic viewpoints. The subsequent chapters provide a topographical analysis of fasciae, using common anatomical terminology while highlighting their interconnectivity across bodily regions. Over 300 unique photographs illustrate the composition, form, and function of the fascial system, underscoring the deep fascia's role in pr
