In addition, a comprehensive, fascia-focused mat and apparatus system emerges from the intersection of research and movement practice.
Section 2 includes specialized applications that provide fascia-informed movement perspectives on aging well, posture adaptations to screen interfaces, knee and hip replacement, bone health, and efficient walking.
All 14 chapters (353 pages) are lavishly illustrated with color photographs and tables that present new, complex material in clear, aesthetically pleasing formats. Videos linked with the photographs guide the reader in accurate fascia-focused movement practice.
