Fascia Fitness by Robert Schleip

If you want to stay mobile, vital and pain-free in everyday life and sports, you should do something for your connective tissue! This insight has been gaining more and more acceptance in physiotherapy, sports science and medicine in recent years. 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 material exchange for the internal organs and forms the basis for a beautiful body shape. Connective tissue can also do what was previously only thought to be possible with muscles: it reacts to stress and stimuli and if fasciae become matted or stick together, pain and movement problems can be the result. The fasciae should therefore be specifically trained - 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 translated into a practical exercise programme for everyday life. With exercise photos, insight into the science of fascia, tips and addresses.
