President's Message

Prof. Rebecca L. Pratt, PhD
President of the Fascia Research Society
On behalf of the FRS Scientific Program Committee, I invite you to join us in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States for the 2025 Fascia Research Congress (FRC), on August 10–14. The FRC continues to provide new research findings while reinforcing the educational basics of the fascial system.
The 2022 Congress was just the beginning of the return to in-person exchanges of ideas and information. The Fascia Research Society continues to bring even more reflection and intention to your study with the latest understanding of the fascial system. Whether this is your first or fifth Congress, this year provides a new and exciting experience for you to learn and connect with colleagues over fascia. The Scientific Program Committee prepared an engaging program that hosts researchers, clinicians, and practitioners on stage together.
This 4-day+ event offers a rich selection of lectures and engaging presentations from international leaders in the field of connective tissue. I invite you to participate in the dialog on new issues and new thoughts as a community connected to a future full of possibilities.
New Orleans, Louisiana is an incredible city in the southern United States bordering the Gulf of Mexico, rich in culture, tradition, and music. Our meeting is at the New Orleans Marriott, a 4-star hotel with access to restaurants displaying New Orleans cuisine. You will be in the heart of the French Quarter with all the cultural amenities of this vibrant city. The opening evening Carnival Gala Sunday on August 10th kicks off a fun and enriching event.
With suggested evening activities for each night of the Congress the energy of the scientific meeting is sure to continue beyond the last lecture. I assure you that you will leave the Fascia Research Congress more knowledgeable, confident, and connected to the energizing science of the fascial system.
See you in August!
