Their collaborative journey began in 2019, focusing on the study of a specific type of lower back pain. Throughout their research, they identified a crucial discovery: fatty fascia, a tissue often overlooked in standard medical practice, can be a significant source of pain. Realising the widespread neglect of fibro-fatty tissue dysfunction and its role in various conditions, they felt the need to address this issue. Their mission centred on raising awareness and improving the understanding of these conditions. Thus, they created a platform dedicated to promoting education and research in this underexplored field, giving rise to the Fasciopathies Research Foundation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faabe45 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"faabe45\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1336c85 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1336c85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dras-fundacion.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-559\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dras-fundacion.jpg 863w, https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dras-fundacion-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dras-fundacion-768x672.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a68d7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"55a68d7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a70235b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a70235b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Foundation Name<\/h4><p>The name &#8216;Fasciopathies Research Foundation&#8217; was deliberately chosen to highlight an emerging, yet still underappreciated, area of human pathology: fibro-fatty tissue dysfunction, or fatty fascia dysfunction. Historically, the lack of clear terminology for fibro-fatty tissue has contributed to its marginalization within the medical community. For this reason, we adopt a modern and inclusive definition of fascia, encompassing all connective tissues, including adipose tissue. This new perspective represents a crucial shift in the understanding of human anatomy and aligns with the innovative ethos of our foundation. Currently, the term &#8216;fasciopathy&#8217; is preferred over &#8216;plantar fasciitis,&#8217; as chronic cases do not exhibit signs of inflammation. Therefore, the foundation advocates the use of &#8216;fasciopathy&#8217; as a broad term to describe fascial dysfunctions throughout the body that present with pain and functional limitations, but generally without inflammatory signs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb0e2fe e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"eb0e2fe\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-179af09 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"179af09\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13bea63 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"13bea63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"824\" src=\"https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/logo-pilars.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-589\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/logo-pilars.jpg 924w, https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/logo-pilars-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fasciopathiesresearchfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/logo-pilars-768x685.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60a10c1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60a10c1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b391ef elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b391ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Foundation Logo<\/h4><p>Our logo is a creative amalgamation of symbols embodying our mission&#8217;s core principles:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Awareness<\/strong>: The eye symbolizes our dedication to raising awareness about this often overlooked field.<\/li><li><strong>Focus on fascia<\/strong>: A sniper\u2019s reticle mirrors our precise, methodical approach to fascia research.<\/li><li><strong>Complexity of the network<\/strong>: Interwoven membranes and filaments illustrate the fascial system&#8217;s intricate complexity within the body.<\/li><li><strong>Fatty tissues<\/strong>: The depiction of fatty lobules and cells highlights the often-overlooked fatty fascia as a potential pain source.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-543c64e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"543c64e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aeba626 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"aeba626\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7b7eba elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7b7eba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Foundation Establishment<\/h4><p>The idea of creating the Foundation was solidified when Dr. Exp\u00f3sito and Dr. Ca\u00f1\u00eds gathered a committed board of trustees, made up of Judith Ma\u00f1\u00e9 Palau, Sonia Arans Ruiz, Ester Virgili Beneyto, and Alba Pe\u00f1a Serrat. An anonymous benefactor, driven by a spirit of solidarity, provided the initial funding, which allowed the official establishment of the Foundation before a notary on 29 July 2023.
