The Wonders of Fascia:

I find fascia completely mind boggling. I have read some research that describes how fascia acts as a communication network within our bodies, able to transmit information far faster than our nervous system. I think that is just amazing!! The Fascia Research Congress has been bringing researchers together every other year since 2007 and the result has been an explosion in the amount of research and interest in the area. Here are a couple videos to whet your appetite. One short, one long.

1) Fascia: the summary version. From the creators of SciShow

Watch through minute 5:20 to get a quick rundown of the many wonders of fascia

2) Fascia: the in-depth version. Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau – full webinar

Dr. Guimberteau transformed our understanding of human anatomy through his use of video-endoscopy under the skin. With it, he captured previously unknown aspects of the structure of living fascia found throughout the body. This video is of a full SI Connect webinar sponsored in 2016 by the International Association of Structural Integrators (theIASI.net) and was originally posted by EmbodiedHealthLearning.com (https://vimeo.com/238293598). Dr. Guimberteau’s presentation begins at 9 minutes 35 seconds in.
