SUMMARY:New FRS Research Café – Building Confidence with Research
DESCRIPTION:8th August 2026 - 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM PDT - FREE
 Hosted by i
 ntegrative health educator Dr Kathryn Hansen (Vanderbilt University) and f
 ascia researcher Dr Kyra De Coninck (University of Kent).
 The first sess
 ion will focus on practical aspects of research literacy:
 
 How to find
  and access research papers (without a University account)
 How to critic
 ally evaluate different levels of evidence
 
 We will be running a pilot
  series of four sessions\, taking place every two months. Places are limit
 ed to maintain an interactive format\, so early booking is recommended. Th
 is initiative is part of our broader commitment to making research more ac
 cessible\, relevant\, and usable for the diverse FRS community\, from clin
 icians and manual therapists to movement educators and researchers.
 FRS 
 members will have priority access to these sessions.

SUMMARY:Jesse Cochrane\, PhD / Courtney Mascio Lipedema Foundation - Lipede
 ma: From Diagnosis to Treatment – Clinical Insights and Fascial Connecti
 ons
DESCRIPTION:In this upcoming Fascia Research Society webinar\, Jesse Cochra
 ne and Courtney Mascio explore the complex and often misunderstood conditi
 on of lipedema through both clinical and fascial perspectives. The session
  will examine current approaches to diagnosis\, common clinical presentati
 ons\, and the challenges many patients face in obtaining appropriate recog
 nition and care.
 Drawing on emerging research and clinical experience\, 
 the presenters will discuss the potential role of fascia and connective ti
 ssue in lipedema\, including how fascial dysfunction may contribute to pai
 n\, tissue changes\, mobility limitations\, and altered biomechanics. The 
 webinar will also address conservative and interdisciplinary treatment app
 roaches\, providing practical insights for clinicians working with individ
 uals living with lipedema.
 This webinar will be of interest to manual th
 erapists\, movement professionals\, rehabilitation clinicians\, researcher
 s\, and healthcare practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the rel
 ationship between fascia\, adipose tissue disorders\, and whole-person car
 e.

SUMMARY:Danling Wang\, PhD - Multiple Faces of Hyaluronan in Fascia Health 
 and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Fascia is increasingly recognized as a dynamic organ that plays
  essential roles in force transmission\, tissue gliding\, and tissue repai
 r. Hyaluronan (HA)\, a major glycosaminoglycan component of the fascial ex
 tracellular matrix\, has traditionally been viewed as a passive lubricant 
 that facilitates sliding between adjacent fascial layers. However\, accumu
 lating evidence indicates that HA possesses a much broader spectrum of bio
 logical functions that extend beyond its mechanical properties. HA functio
 ns as a highly dynamic signaling molecule whose biological activities are 
 regulated by its molecular weight\, turnover\, and interactions with diver
 se cell types and receptors.
 Recent studies suggest that HA serves as a 
 critical regulator of tissue homeostasis\, orchestrating cellular response
 s that influence inflammation\, regeneration\, and fibrosis. In this prese
 ntation\, “Multiple Faces of Hyaluronan in Fascia Health and Disease\,
 ” we will explore the multifaceted roles of HA in maintaining fascial he
 alth and discuss how HA signaling contributes to pathological fibrosis and
  impaired tissue regeneration.
