What is Fascial Fitness?
.jpg)
Fascial Fitness is a collaboration between Dr. Robert Schleip, prominent fascial researcher and Rolfing® teacher, and Thomas Myers, director of Kinesis and author of Anatomy Trains. The project's purpose is to provide an efficient conduit of useful information from the new and various fascial research findings to the practitioner in the field - in both manual therapy and personal training of all kinds. This course has been well-received by physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, personal trainers of all stripes, athletic coaches, and bodyworkers.
The course reviews scientific findings in terms of their practical application. Some of the results confirm our intuition and common sense, while some are quite counter-intuitive. The course allows plenty of time for both specific and general questions, but the following subjects are covered:
• Long-chain kinetic sequencing for myofascial efficiency (Anatomy Trains)
• The ins and outs of myofascial force transmission
• Fascial elasticity and its cultivation
• Fascial deformation in compensation and recovery
• Fascial injury and matrix repair
• Fascial neurology and tissue pain
• Connective Tissue cell signaling
• Integrins and cellular tensegrity
• Pre-stressing the fascia and myofibroblasts
• Physiological factors
- Genetic and gender differences in fascia
- Hydration and rest cycles
- Nutrition and fascial health
The information within the Fascial Fitness course is constantly changing as new discoveries are made. The course is lavishly illustrated with slides, video, and ultrasound images, and peppered with application exercises and demonstrations.
The next Fascial Fitness course will be in Batavia, IL on March 24-25.
