Based on recent investigations, the fascial net constitutes our richest sensory organ; richer than the skin, our muscles, or even our sense of seeing.
What do we know about the different sensory functions of this body wide network?
How important is it for proprioception? And which role do visceral and muscular fasciae play for different aspects of interoception?
Why does the Autonomic Nervous System provide by far the most numerous nerve supply for our fasciae?
And what can we learn from animal experiments as well as from human research about the influence of chronic emotional stress on neurophysiological dynamics of fascial tissues?
Drawing from his previous clinical background as a Rolfing and Feldenkrais practitioner for almost 3 decades and his now 16 years of laboratory research, Dr. Robert Schleip will attempt to connect these intriguing questions not only with suggested specific answers and new inspiring questions, but also with clinical applications that are relevant for the daily practice of manual as well as for movement therapists.
