Finding a common language. Define intersections. Exchange experiences. Pass on ideas. Develop new perspectives.
Science meets practice
It is important to us to transfer scientific knowledge into practice. For this we need the exchange with therapists, trainers and other doctors working on the patient. In the interaction between science and practice, an interest in knowledge emerges that stimulates research and opens up new perspectives. For the benefit of patients, we continue to jointly advance research.
Practice meets science
Experiential knowledge is a valuable asset. Every therapist knows the situation: I decide on an application that I know will help the patient, but whose mode of action I cannot explain in a way that could be scientifically tested. One of the most important tasks of science is to explain this relationship observed in practice in a valid way.
Quotes
The Institute of Anatomy at the University of Leipzig is known for its intensive research in the field of macroscopic anatomy of the facial system, namely PD Dr Hanno Steinke, the Institute is a leader in the serious research of the fundamentals of osteopathy. Since 1999 the institute has supported the osteopathic training of the STILL ACADEMY Osteopathy in Leipzig. The differentiating description of anatomical-functional interaction in the consideration of macroscopic anatomy in the current book by PD Dr Hanno Steinke is a fundamental contribution to the teaching of osteopathy.

Fasciae of the human body are increasingly becoming the focus of research. Everyone who deals with diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system knows that fascia can play a major role in the development and maintenance of pain, but also as a possible treatment approach. Particularly in spinal therapy, fasciae are of great importance in both conservative and operative therapy. For this reason, we are networking with the groups working on this topic in Leipzig. The practical relevance is reflected in a far greater consideration of fascia in clinical diagnostics and therapy as well as in an increasing focus of joint, interdisciplinary research on fascia and ligaments in the spine and its surrounding structures.

The decision to work with the team from the University of Leipzig was not difficult to make. I got to know Dr. Steinke as a committed lecturer at several symposia, with a sensationally extensive anatomical knowledge, especially about fasciae and their anatomy, physiology and morphology. I was particularly impressed by the honest interest in the work of manual therapists and the respect for their palpatory skills. In working together, I was able to meet a committed team, which implemented all our wishes for the preparation in a well thought-out way and presented them in a tangible and lively way for all participants. I am looking forward to the continuing cooperation!

I have visited the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Leipzig several times to exchange experiences and to acquire new knowledge in various fields of anatomy. I was always impressed by the high quality and professionalism of the colleagues I worked with. Especially useful and unique was their expertise on fasciae, fascial spaces and fascial topography, an area that requires special attention and deep anatomical knowledge. I owe a lot to Dr. Hanno Steinke and his team and I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with them and to deepen my knowledge in this field. Many thanks.

Fascia is a dense layer or wide band of irregular connective tissue that lines the body wall and acts as an important supporting tissue. Through the stay of Leipzig anatomists in Tokyo, sponsored by the Yokochi Foundation, we have maintained close contacts with German anatomists for many years and value the expertise of the Leipzig group around Dr. Pieroh and Dr. Steinke in the field of fasciae. The Fascia Atlas shows modern and tiny macroscopic views of the tissue. Thanks to the cooperation with the Leipzig specialists we can learn a lot.

German research has made a remarkable contribution to medicine. I am very pleased to have worked with Dr. Hanno Steinke and his team at the Institute of Anatomy. The present book places particular emphasis on the exact description of fasciae and thus promotes the development of new medical categories such as fascial water separation.

You have done a very good job, congratulations! I am sure that our books together can help to better understand the fasciae!

As a therapist I often have the feeling that I can make a difference, but I don’t know exactly why. A connection is subjectively there, but not yet scientifically proven. The contact with Prof. Bechmann and Dr. Steinke was therefore a win in the lottery for me. The two are fantastic people with inexhaustible knowledge and a great openness. With them I can think laterally and philosophize, which is often neglected in everyday practice.

I met Hanno at the Fascia Summer School in Ulm, where he was the main dissector. I was in awe of his knowledge and enthusiasm and when he showed me plastifications of the pelvis I was deeply impressed. I wanted to learn more and felt very honored when Hanno asked me to edit the "Atlas of Human Fascial Topography" for him, even though he would not be able to pay me. He sent me a few pictures so I had an idea what I was getting into, and these pictures were just so breathtakingly beautiful that I couldn't help but join in. These pictures and the knowledge about the fascias of the human body were my reward! But Hanno must have thought that this was too little, so he invited me "as a reward" to join his dissection team in Leipzig, which was responsible for the smooth running of a fascia preparation course. Although I live in New Zealand, I did not have to think twice about it. This team was brilliant. Everyone took the time to show or explain something to me. I learned so much and it was really one of the best experiences for me!

I had the privilege to meet Hanno Steinke as a guest researcher at the Anatomical Institute of the University of Leipzig within the framework of a Eurosa + Erasmus Mundus scholarship for scientists from South Africa. When I worked with him in the laboratory, I was constantly taken out of my "comfort zone" and exposed to new techniques, knowledge and the wide field of fasciae and their clinical significance. It was an honour for me to assist in the English edition of the "Atlas of Human Fascial Topography". Through this work I was again transported into the breathtaking world of plastination and fascia, which I was able to get to know during my visit to Leipzig. Not only did I learn a lot, it was also a privilege to participate in the creation of the atlas, which will change the knowledge of fascia.
