Enjoy these two world-renowned fascial pioneers (and dear friends for 40 years) for this dynamic presentation on neuro-fascial interaction.
Dr. Robert Schleip from the University of Ulm will present insights from the research into fascia as a sensory and emotional organ, including several very recent discoveries related to fibromyalgia and scoliosis.
Anatomy Trains author and fascial pioneer Tom Myers will share new revelations from the dissection lab and apply how these two intelligent systems interact to clinical practice.
Approximate run time: 2 hours, 12 minutes. Recorded from a live presentation.
About Tom Myers:
Thomas Myers studied with Drs. Ida Rolf, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller, and with a variety of movement and manual therapy pioneers. His work is influenced by cranial, visceral, and intrinsic movement studies he made with European schools of osteopathy. An inveterate traveler, Tom has practiced integrative manual therapy for over 40 years in a variety of clinical and cultural settings. Tom is the author of Anatomy Trains (2020, 4th ed), co-author of Fascial Release for Structural Balance (North Atlantic, 2010, 2017), co-author of Anatomy Trains in Motion Study Guide (2019), author of Body3, The Anatomist’s Corner, Structural Integration: Collected Articles, and BodyReading: Visual Assessment and The Anatomy Trains, and has also written extensively for Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies (Elsevier). He has also produced over 20 online learning courses with Anatomy Trains, and others in collaboration with various body-oriented professional groups. Tom lives and sails on the coast of Maine in the USA. Tom and his faculty conduct professional development courses and certification in Structural Integration worldwide.
About Dr. Robert Schleip:
Robert Schleip PhD MSc directs the Fascia Research Project at the Technical University of Munich and the University of Ulm/Germany. He has an MSc degree in psychology and a PhD in human biology. Having been a Rolfing instructor and Feldenkrais practitioner for over two decades, he was not satisfied with the speculative nature of scientific explanations backing up most areas of current bodywork. When he entered the field of connective tissue science as an active laboratory researcher in 2003, he became so thrilled that he soon became one of the driving international forces in the newly emerging field of fascia research. Robert’s own research findings on active contractile properties of human fasciae have been honored with the Vladimir Janda Award of Musculoskeletal Medicine. He is research director of the European Rolfing Association, and co‐initiator of the 1st Fascia Research Congress hosted at the Harvard Medical School Conference Center (Boston 2007) as well as of all subsequent events of that successful congress series.
