Illustrating Fascia

The Fascia Posters were produced by Robert Schleip in 2012. The project of illustrating fascia took  more than 3 years to complete.  The idea of illustrating fascia comes from the demand from  bodyworkers who got tired of seeing the same muscular or skeletal posters hanging on their wall. There is also never an illustration of connective tissue as a whole in the body.  Robert and colleagues collected hundreds of illustrations and photographs of fascia and connective tissues from  old and new literature. They fed those pictures into a computer program to recreate a 3-D illustration. With hours and days of trial and error, they try to provide not only an anatomically correct representation but also convey a sense of the unified harmony. Finally with consultations with anatomy experts, they produced these set of posters that beautifully convey without words the unity of the fascial net from the most superficial layers all the way to the endomysium. More than just another anatomical chart, they are also fine art in their own right.  Robert hoped that future development will create a 3-D  computer model showing the layers and connectivity of fascia.
