Fascia Fitness by Robert Schleip

If you want to stay flexible, vital and pain-free in everyday life and during sport, you should do something for your connective tissue! This knowledge has become more and more accepted in physiotherapy, sports science and medicine in recent years. This is because the muscular connective tissue - the so-called fascia - plays a major role in well-being, mobility, performance and health: it transmits the power of the muscles, communicates with the nervous system, serves as a sensory organ, provides protection and exchanges of substances in the internal organs and forms the basis for a beautiful body shape. What was previously only believed to be possible with muscles, connective tissue can also do: it reacts to stress and stimuli and if fascia becomes matted or stuck together, pain and mobility problems can result. The fascia should therefore be trained specifically - 10 minutes twice a week is enough!

This book by the leading German fascia researcher and Rolfing therapist Robert Schleip shows how the new findings can be implemented in a practical exercise program for everyday life. With exercise photos, insight into the science of fascia, tips and addresses.
