Fascial Research: Report from the International Fascial Congress

Contrary to commonly accepted views that fascia is solely a passive role, functioning simply to simply transmit tension created by muscle, the latest research indicates fascia actually plays a much more active role in biomechanics than previously suspected, displaying the ability to contract autonomously. Robert Schleip, Ph.D will share some of the latest findings from his work as director of the Fascia Research Project at the University of Ulm, Germany and discuss the implications of this research to manual therapy.
