Recent discoveries regarding the neuro-myo-fascial network inform Fascia-focused Movement, a revolutionary approach to integrating the physical and energetic body. The body can no longer be considered as machine-like, made up of separate parts. Fascia, the largest organ of communication, constitutes the basic structural architecture of the human body, extending from the surface of the skin to the nucleus of the cell. The traditional approach that studies muscles as independent units has been a barrier to understanding the bigger picture of fascia function. Muscles move in relation to one another as a function of the fascial structures that give them form and the proper amount of glide.

During the two-hour presentation:

*View video of living human fascia in motion and slides of body-wide fascia continuities
*Experience for yourself that, although core training is beneficial, there is no separate core to train
*Apply Fascia-focused Movement criteria to breathing, posture and walking
*View case studies demonstrating how Fascia-focused Movement informs aging well, correcting computer posture, improving bone health, and moving well after hip or knee replacement.
