Module 1: Foundations and Theory of Fasciapuncture®
Understanding fascia through Eastern wisdom and modern scien
Course Overview
This module explores the foundational principles of Fasciapuncture®. You’ll learn how fascia functions anatomically, physiologically, and energetically — drawing from both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern biomedical science.
Key concepts include fascial anatomy, tension mechanisms, pain patterns, fibrotic response, and the relationship between fascia and meridians. We also discuss why conventional approaches sometimes fail and how Fasciapuncture® offers a unique solution through precise, layered interventions.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the multi-layered anatomy and functional roles of fascia.
- Explore the pathophysiology of fascial tension, fibrosis, and pain generation.
- Compare classical meridian theory with fascial planes and clinical maps.
- Identify mechanisms behind fascial dysfunction not addressed by classical techniques.
- Recognize physiological responses triggered by fascial release stimulation.
- Establish when Fasciapuncture® is indicated or contraindicated in clinical practice.
1.1 What Is Fasciapuncture®? / 什么是筋膜针疗法？
Define Fasciapuncture® and understand how it differs from acupuncture, manual fascia therapy, and micro-invasive needling techniques. Explore its origins and unique clinical relevance.
1.2 Origins: TCM and Modern Myotherapy / 起源：中医与现代肌筋膜疗法
Trace how the method bridges classical jingjin theory and modern fascia science. Learn the historical and conceptual roots behind its development.
1.3 Anatomy and Function of Fascia / 筋膜的解剖与功能
Understand the structure and layers of fascia — superficial, deep, visceral. Discover its sensory, mechanical, vascular, and regulatory functions.
1.4 Pathophysiology: Tension, Fibrosis, Adhesion, Pain / 病理机制：张力、纤维化、粘连与疼痛
Learn how chronic tension leads to fibrosis, adhesion, and distant pain. Explore how fascia participates in systemic dysregulation and injury cycles.
1.5 Dynamic Imbalance and Compression Theory / 动态失衡与压迫模型
Understand how postural deviations and movement dysfunctions cause fascial overload and compression syndromes. Link biomechanical imbalance with chronic pain.
1.6 Fascia and Meridians: Functional Overlap / 筋膜与经络的交汇
Explore the similarities between fascial pathways and meridian channels. Learn how clinical fascial release points align with jingjin tension lines.
1.7 Physiological Responses to Fasciapuncture® / 筋膜针的生理反应
Learn how fascial stimulation affects the nervous, vascular, and immune systems. Understand why patients feel “immediate relief” and how tissues adapt post-release.
1.8 Types of Fascial Pain / 筋膜性疼痛的类型
Differentiate between deep dull pain, referred pain, tender nodules, and radiating discomfort. Recognize how fascial symptoms mimic other systems.
1.9 Why Classical Techniques Sometimes Fail / 为什么传统技术有时治疗无效？
Explore the blind spots of acupuncture, massage, and rehab therapies when fascia is overlooked. Understand the added value of layer-specific precision.
1.10 Indications and Contraindications / 筋膜针疗法的适应与禁忌
Clarify when Fasciapuncture® is effective and when it’s not recommended. Understand precautions, depth control, and patient selection strategy.
How to Learn
This module offers an integrated blend of theory, illustrations, and clinical commentary. You’ll learn through narrated lessons, animated diagrams, and reflective exercises to build a strong conceptual foundation.
How to Get Started
- Begin with Section 1.1 and follow the logical progression through to 1.10.
- Engage with the video lessons and slide summaries for each topic.
- Take time to reflect on how these concepts reshape your view of pain and diagnosis.
- Prepare for Module 2, where you will apply this knowledge through hands-on diagnostic techniques.
Course Highlights
- Conceptual Depth: Establishes a new paradigm for understanding pain.
- Integrative Approach: Combines acupuncture, fascia science, and biomechanics.
- Clinical Value: Foundations that enhance every treatment that follows.
- Accessible Format: Elegant, visual, and easy to return to anytime.
