This
workshop will focus on fascia as a most fascinating tissue seen through recent
scientific discoveries. We will also explore recent biomechanical insights about
the contribution of elastic recoil oscillatory properties of fascia in walking,
running and other cyclic movement activities; including practical applications for movement education.
A
highlight is, of course, the latest findings from the fascia laboratory at Ulm
University. We explore new hypotheses on the relationship between myofibroblast
density in fascia and systemic joint hyper-/ hypo-mobility, as well as
indications on the enhancing/inhibitory effects of various chemical, nutritional
and mechanical stimulations on fascial stiffness. Again with practical applications: looking at how can we have long-term effects
on tissue stiffness.
Finally
this workshop will explore fascia as our richest sensory organ. Specific
suggestions will be made about therapeutic avenues to alter brain mapping (body
image/ body schema) via proprioceptive fascial stimulation. Overall this
workshop will consist of 50% theory and 50% practice.
