In this second edition of his bestselling guide to fascial fitness, fascia researcher and Rolfing therapist Dr. Robert Schleip shows you a series of practical exercises that you can easily build into your day-to-day routine. He introduces the most recent scientific findings from the world of fascial research, and he explains which methods and equipment are most effective for fascial health (as well as which ones do more harm than good). These new findings are already reshaping physiotherapy and the methods of treatment and recovery we use today—and they will continue to do so in the future. Physiotherapists, sports scientists, and doctors agree that if we want to stay flexible, energetic, and pain free in our day-to-day lives and sporting pursuits, we need to look after our connective tissue—our “fascia.” A great deal of research over the last few years has shown that the fascia around our muscles plays a huge role in keeping us fit, healthy, flexible, and feeling good. This versatile tissue transfers energy to the muscles, communicates with the nervous system, acts as a sensory organ, helps to protect and regenerate our internal organs, and provides the foundations for a healthy physique. We used to think it was our muscles doing all the work, but now we know the connective tissue plays a big part too. It responds to stress and other stimuli, and when it gets matted or sticks together, it can cause pain and mobility problems. That's why it's so important to train our fascia—and just 10 minutes, twice a week, is all it takes!
