STECCO FASCIAL MANIPULATION Superficial fascia and systems – Practical part – Fourth level
$110.00
“Fascia is the connective tissue that connects Eastern and Western medicine.” This book makes the connection becomes more tangible than ever—linking anatomy, physiology, and clinical artistry into a unified vision of human health and adaptation. Authored by Luigi, Anthony, and Carla Stecco, this book focuses on the superficial fascia, the most external and dynamic layer of the fascial system. This volume presents the superficial fascia as a key integrator of skin, vascular, lymphatic, and metabolic systems, vital for maintaining the body’s homeostasis and adaptive responses.
This groundbreaking volume continues the Stecco family’s legacy of uniting anatomical science, clinical insight, and manual therapy into one cohesive vision of human function. This fourth level of the Fascial Manipulation series expands the practitioner’s understanding from deep fascia to the often-overlooked superficial layer and its systemic connections.
Bridging decades of research and practice, this book explores the vascularization of the superficial fascia, the delicate interplay between arterial and venous shunts, and the regional differentiations that underlie thermoregulation, lymphatic flow, and immune function. The book provides an innovative rationale for treating lymphedema, demonstrating how stiffness in the superficial fascia can collapse lymphatic vessels, impede drainage, and affect immune balance.
Integrating thermography, neurophysiology, and fascial anatomy, this text clarifies the roles of paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia—described as the body’s “primitive” and “second” brains—in self-regulation and homeostasis. It reveals how superficial fascial dysfunctions can lead to nerve entrapments and chronic pain syndromes, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Building on the Fascial Manipulation series, this book offers a comprehensive, systemic approach to dysfunction—uniting the internal (immune, thermoregulatory, metabolic) and external (lymphatic, cutaneous, adipose) systems into one global model. Its emphasis on diagnostic reasoning and practical strategies makes it an indispensable reference for clinicians, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and manual therapists seeking faster, longer-lasting results through an integrative understanding of the body’s fascial network.
