More than 100 years ago A.T. Still MD founded osteopathic medicine, and specifically described fascia as a covering, with common origins of layers of the fascial system despite diverse names for individual parts. Fascia assists gliding and fluid flow and is highly innervated. Fascia is intimately involved with respiration and with nourishment of all cells of the body, including those of disease and cancer. This paper reviews information presented at the first three International Fascia Research Congresses in 2007, 2009 and 2012 from the perspective of Dr Still, that fascia is vital for organism's growth and support, and it is where disease is sown.
100多年前，医学博士A.T. 斯蒂尔创立了整骨医学，并特别将筋膜描述为一种覆盖物，尽管各个部分有不同的名称，但筋膜系统各层有着共同的起源。筋膜有助于滑动和液体流动，且神经分布密集。筋膜与呼吸以及身体所有细胞（包括疾病细胞和癌细胞）的营养供应密切相关。本文从斯蒂尔博士的视角回顾了2007年、2009年和2012年前三届国际筋膜研究大会上所呈现的信息，即筋膜对于生物体的生长和支撑至关重要，且它是疾病滋生的地方。
