Structural and functional anatomy of the retinaculum cutis: review and new insights.

A new review published in Anatomical Science International examines the structural and functional anatomy of the retinaculum cutis, the connective tissue network linking skin to underlying fascia and deeper structures. The authors offer updated anatomical insights that may have implications for understanding fascial mechanics, skin mobility, and soft tissue dysfunction relevant to manual therapy practice. Physical therapists working with fascial techniques or treating conditions involving skin and connective tissue mobility may find these findings useful for refining their anatomical knowledge.
