Fascia is far more than connective tissue. This documentary brings together current research, historical discoveries and emerging scientific evidence to explore fascia as a dynamic, body-wide network.
01
ABOUT THE FILM
A closer look at a rapidly developing field.
The New Biology of Fascia explores how fascia may contribute to movement, force transmission, proprioception, pain, healing and physical performance.
The film also examines how scars and adhesions may influence body mechanics, the science of mechanotransduction, and why gentle manual therapy can sometimes lead to meaningful change.
It is designed for physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, massage and manual therapists, movement specialists, clinicians, researchers, students and anyone interested in how the human body works.
02
