Fascia and veterinary science and practices

Fascia research has expanded far beyond its biomedical and clinical origins, reaching firmly into the fields of veterinary medicine, comparative anatomy, and animal biomechanics. This is a welcome and long-overdue development. Veterinary research offers a unique scientific vantage point: it provides access to species whose fascial architectures have evolved under markedly different mechanical, ecological, and behavioural demands. These comparative insights not only broaden our anatomical understanding but also challenge long-held assumptions about tissue organisation, mechanotransduction, functional continuity, and the adaptive qualities of connective tissues across species.
