Dynamics of human connective tissue provides a detailed functional description of types of connective tissue and their role in physical stress, injury, and repair. This textbook supports students and professionals in physiotherapy, movement therapy, manual therapy, ergonomics, and kinesitherapy.
The seventh edition includes new insights and recent research, especially focused on the embryological development of connective tissue and the fascial system as a force-transmitting and proprioceptive network. Chapter 2 covers the development of connective tissue, while Chapter 9 is entirely devoted to the various functions of the fascial system.
In addition, various new photos have been added to illustrate muscle, tendon, and fascial tissue. The book serves as a practical reference work for appropriately determining treatment methods, with attention to therapeutic interventions in the concluding chapter.
