Polish Fascia Symposium 2023

Polish Fascia Symposium is the first online event of this type!
Every year it has met great interest among many fascia fans from all over the world. Every edition – a fantastic opportunity to see each other and exchange experiences between Polish and foreign physiotherapists, masseurs, therapists dealing with the human body on a daily basis.

Every year we meet at a 3-day scientific meeting, the online format makes it possible to learn live from the “world cream” of experts dealing with the broadly understood fascia.
