WINTER SCHOOL “FASCIAL ANATOMY” 2025

17-21 FEBRUARY 2025

The University of Padua and its research team is pleased to present the new edition of the Winter School of Fascial Anatomy, scheduled from 17 to 21 February 2025, in Padova, Institute of Human Anatomy, via Gabelli 65.  

The Winter School is the first congress on Fascial Anatomy that includes sessions dedicated to fascial dissection, together with workshops, and lectures. A fantastic program has been prepared for you! Together we will provide you with a global view of the fasciae and a deep understanding of all the anatomical aspects related to them.

All the team of Padova will present the most recent research they are doing on fascial anatomy. Dissections of the fasciae will be carried out led by Prof. Carla Stecco. Furthermore, we will have the contribution of many great researchers: Robert Schleip, Larissa Sinhorim, Peter Friedl, Mary Barbe, John Sharkey, N. Tomita, among others. Workshops will be performed in groups for ultrasound imaging (Dr Prri), AI evaluation (Dr Bonaldi), histology (Dr Fede and Petrelli), veterinary (Prof Patruno and Dr Carolo), plastination (Prof Stecco). See our program!

The world of fascia is a fascinating world and the more it is studied, the more extraordinary its properties appear both in terms of structural, biomechanical, communicative, and immune functions. The fascia forms a three dimensional intracellular matrix of support, continuity and communication for the whole body.

The event focuses on fascial anatomy with a global vision and interdisciplinary approach with lectures and fascia dissection sessions.

WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THE CONFERENCE?

The Winter School is open to all Physiotherapists, Medical Doctors and Osteopaths, Yoga and Pilates Instructors, Personal Trainers and all experts in activities related to movement and research who want to deepen fascial anatomy to understand all its properties with the latest studies and through specific dissection sessions.

WITH THE WINTER SCHOOL YOU SUPPORT RESEARCH

All the speakers and researchers involved in the online Winter School make their time and knowledge available free of charge to support research on the fascia of the University of Padua.

All the registration fees will be donated directly to the University of Padua to be used for future research on fascial anatomy. Therefore, we hope this event achieves a twofold goal: to give you the latest knowledge on fascial anatomy and to raise enough funds to support all new research planned!
