The thoracolumbar fascia is a large, roughly diamond-shaped area of connective tissue constituted by the thoracic and lumbar parts of the deep fascia enclosing the intrinsic back muscles. More specifically, the thoracolumbar fascia separates the paraspinal muscles from the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall.
In the thoracic region, the thoracolumbar fascia consists of a single layer - an upward extension of the posterior layer of the lumbar fascia, becoming progressively thinner before fading out above the 1st rib, replaced by the splenius muscle.
Thoracolumbar fascia pain affecting your lower back is linked to tissue that's found behind the spinal column and positioned at both the lumbar (low back) and thoracic (mid-back) levels.
The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is a girdling structure consisting of several aponeurotic and fascial layers that separate the paraspinal muscles from the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall.
Abstract. In this overview, new and existent material on the organization and composition of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) will be evaluated in respect to its anatomy, innervation biomechanics and clinical relevance. The integration of the passive connective tissues of the TLF and active muscular structures surrounding this structure are ...
The thoracolumbar fascia lies on either side of the lumbar vertebrae and surrounds the deep muscles of the back and trunk. It is composed of a network of collagen fibers which form a complex arrangement of multiple fascial layers.
