The Fascia Guide

03. What does Fascia do?

Understanding the living body is quite a complex thing - but there is a simple way to understand the function of the body by understanding Fascia.
In simple terms, Fascia helps the body to load and unload pressure. How does this happen? What is pressure? ... and how can you use this knowledge to improve your lifestyle, increase your well-being and learn to handle different kinds of pressure like stress or low back pain.
The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the living body, about new research and a new perspective on health, pain and what it means to be alive. In this episode you will hear Hans Bohlin, innovator and fascia expert, Per Johansson, doctor of human ecology and historian of science and ideas, and Axel Bohlin, founder & editor of The Fascia Guide.

02. What is Fascia?

It might be a simple question, but it literally takes hours to answer it.
Fascia is the connective tissue that encapsulates everything in the body, from muscles and skeleton, to organs and cell.
It’s also the fluid flow that moves between all the cells and the way our body communicates.
It’s also a function that absorbs the pressure we’re exposed to and a way of storing memories, thoughts and feelings.
Fascia is the thing that connects our whole body as a whole.
It’s also a way for us to question our understanding of what a body is and our whole research paradigm, what we’re studying and why.
"What is Fascia?" is a question we have been answering for years. It is also the topic of the second episode of The Fascia Guide.

01. Why Fascia?

The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the living body, about new research and a new perspective on health, pain and what it means to be alive.
There is an ongoing global revolution in the anatomical research field, profoundly changing the way we look at the human body.
The reason? Fascia, a network of connective tissue with no beginning and no end, encapsulating everything in the body, from muscles and skeleton, to organs and cells.
While until recently considered unimportant, Fascia is since 2017 acknowledged as the biggest organ in the body and Fascia research has sparked a wildfire of new insights that are challenging conventional belief about how the body works.
 
The purpose of The Fascia Guide is to provide knowledge about the body in a simple way.
It's a podcast about science and proven experience, about philosophy and new insights, about the practical application of new research, and about the little things that make difference in terms of lifestyle and well-being
