The Fascia Guide is the editorial arm of Fascia Innovation Sweden AB — a bilingual research portal grading every peer-reviewed fascia study against a transparent evidence rubric, in plain language.
The Fascia Guide is the editorial arm of Fascia Innovation Sweden AB (org. no. 556583-8918, incorporated 2000 in Stockholm), launched in 2020 by Hans Bohlin and Axel Bohlin to make fascia research accessible to clinicians, researchers, and curious patients. Every study is graded on an 8-tier evidence rubric — from baseline peer-reviewed to top-tier (1A+++) — and translated into Swedish and English alongside its original peer-reviewed source. The portal hosts 2,804 graded studies, 178 editorial articles, and 214 podcast episodes, and is updated weekly.
