International Fascia Research Congress

​

The first International Fascia Research Congress was held at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, USA on October 4-5, 2007. It was the first international conference dedicated to fascia in all its forms and functions. This conference was intended to be a catalyst. The emphasis and centerpiece was the presentation of the latest and best scientific fascia research for clinical professionals in whose specialties the human fasciae are central in both theory and practice. 

​

The International Fascia Research Congress is held at different locations throughout the world every 2 -3 years. To find out when next one is taking place, you can visit fasciacongress.org
