Two UIC Barcelona students present a project on the manual treatment of fascia in the field of sport

Raúl Navarro and Mathies Simon, resident students of the Anatomy Unit in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, presented a project called "Manual Treatment of Fascia in the Field of Sport" to the 2nd International Congress of Connective Tissues in Sports Medicine, held at Ulm University, in Germany. Fascia is a connective tissue that attaches all of the structures of the human body together.

The congress dealt with topics relating to connective tissue in sports medicine. These tissues, made up of cells and extracellular components, connect with each other for a functional purpose.
