Summary

An informative,  practical, and fascinating guide to fascia—the key to health and wellness.

No matter what the next fad workout or eating plan is, there is one powerful thing that affects every part of your being: your fascia. Like an orchestra conductor, fascia organizes the symphony of movement and communication within our body; it provides structural support and is crucial to many physiological processes. For three decades, fascia specialist David Lesondak has been helping people improve function, reduce pain, and restore resilience. Now in The Fascia Connection, Lesondak brings his years of experience to help readers better understand their body, their health, and their wellbeing.

With chapters devoted to more general tips on mobility (including simple exercises), to specific chapters on pain, aging, and overall wellness, The Fascia Connection is a go-to guide that is engagingly informative and imminently practical.
