Research.
Every peer-reviewed study on fascia in one place — graded for strength of evidence, summarised in plain language for clinicians, researchers, and curious readers.
We grade studies from A to 1A+++ using the Fascia Research Database rubric — 1A+++ is the strongest.
Researchers behind the studiesDecoding the silent walk of COVID-19: Halting its spread using old bullets
This 2021 review article explores the strategy of using existing drugs to combat the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus. The authors describe how SARS-CoV-2 affects multiple organ systems, creating a significant therapeut…
Therapeutic potential of astaxanthin and superoxide dismutase in Alzheimer's disease
This narrative review explores how the combination of astaxanthin and the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) may help protect the brain in Alzheimer's disease. Oxidative stress is a key factor in the disease's progressio…
Is "Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness" a False Friend? The Potential Implication of the Fascial Connective Tissue in Post-Exercise Discomfort
This narrative review explores the theory that delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) may originate in the connective tissue (fascia) rather than the muscle fibers themselves. While traditional explanations like lactic ac…
Temporomandibular Myofascial Pain Syndrome-Aetiology and Biopsychosocial Modulation. A Narrative Review
This case report examined the effectiveness of Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) in treating a 23-year-old woman with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and postural imbalances. By addressing muscle chains and spinal alig…
Fascia The Universal Singularity Of Biotensegrity The Dark Matter Of Our Inner Cosmos
This theoretical paper argues that fascia is the body's fundamental and unifying system, analogous to dark matter in the cosmos. The author suggests this continuity is evident from embryology, where the body develops as…

Optimal Nutritional Status for a Well-Functioning Immune System Is an Important Factor to Protect against Viral Infections
In this review, the authors state that optimal nutritional status is crucial for a well-functioning immune system and protection against viral infections. They highlight that many vitamins (A, B6, B12, C, D, E, folate),…
Higher Circulating Cortisol in the Follicular vs. Luteal Phase of the Menstrual Cycle: A Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis investigated how levels of the stress hormone cortisol vary across the menstrual cycle in healthy women. By synthesizing data from multiple high-quality studies, researchers found that cortisol levels…
Embryology of the Fascial System
This review article explores how the fascial system develops in the human embryo, highlighting its role as a continuous network that integrates all body systems. The author describes how different types of fascia—includ…
Simulation and Modeling of Telocytes Behavior in Signaling and Intercellular Communication Processes
Telocytes are a unique type of interstitial cell with long extensions that form networks, thought to be involved in local tissue equilibrium and regeneration. In this study, researchers used computer simulation and math…
What is the Intelligent Tissue !eory and How Does it Relate to Acupuncture?
This article introduces the "intelligent tissue theory," which proposes that organ information is transmitted via electromagnetic waves and interpreted by bodily tissues at specific meridians. The author suggests that t…
Integrating mental imagery and fascial tissue: A conceptualization for research into movement and cognition
This narrative review explores the connection between mental imagery and fascial tissue, a field that has historically focused on muscles and the nervous system. The authors propose that specific mental visualizations d…
