Description[edit | edit source]
The thoracolumbar fascia is a large area of connective tissue - roughly diamond-shaped - which comprises the thoracic and lumbar parts of the deep fascia enclosing the intrinsic back muscles.
Most developed in the lumbar region, it consists of multiple layers of crosshatched collagen fibres that cover the back muscles in the lower thoracic and lumbar area before passing through these muscles to attach to the sacral bone.
Anatomy 
[edit | edit source]
The thoracolumbar fascia has 3 layers – posterior, middle and anterior.
These insert on the transverse and spinous processes of the lumbar vertebrae. They also attach to the iliac crest and fuse with the posterior surface of the sacrum.
The illustration opposite shows the superficial muscles of the back. The thoracolumbar fascia is the gray area at bottom centre.
