The textbook Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications, 2nd Edition, edited by David Lesondak and Angeli Maun Akey, presents anatomical principles and therapeutic procedures focused on human connective tissue. Published by CRC Press in 2025, this text offers medical practitioners, clinicians, and allied health professionals a structured examination of fascial biology and patient care.

The foundational chapters detail fascial anatomy, physiology, innervation, circulatory relationships, and extracellular matrix dynamics. Scientific topics extend to mechanical behavior, applied biotensegrity, and intra-tissular endoscopy methods for observing living human tissue. The text bridges these structural concepts with established manual modalities, including Anatomy Trains structural integration, myofascial trigger point therapy, and fascial manipulation.

With 332 pages containing 112 color illustrations and 20 black-and-white figures, this volume provides comprehensive visual reference material. The publication supports continuous learning and practical understanding for physicians, surgeons, manual therapists, dissectors, and clinical researchers interested in fascial health.
