Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestseller (over 80,000 copies sold) in a second, updated edition. Learn fascial exercises to improve mobility and flexibility, avoid and treat pain, and improve sports performance. In this second edition of his best-selling guide to fascial fitness, fascia researcher and Rolfing therapist Dr. Robert Schleip shows you a series of practical exercises that you can easily build into your day-to-day routine. He introduces the most recent scientific findings from the world of fascial research, and explains which methods and equipment are most effective for fascial health (as well as which ones do more harm than good!). These new findings are already changing the shape of physiotherapy and the methods of treatment and recovery we use today, and will continue to do so in the future. Physiotherapists, sports scientists, and doctors agree that if we want to stay flexible, energetic and pain-free in our day-to-day lives and sporting pursuits, we need to look after our connective tissue - our 'fascia'. There has been a great deal of research into this over the last few years, all of which shows that the fascia around our muscles plays a huge role in keeping us fit, healthy, flexible, and feeling good. This versatile tissue transfers energy to the muscles, communicates with the nervous system, acts as a sensory organ, helps to protect and regenerate our internal organs, and provides the foundations for a healthy physique. We used to think it was our muscles doing all the work, but now we know the connective tissue plays a big part, too. It responds to stress and other stimuli, and when it gets matted or sticks together, it can cause pain and mobility problems. That's why it's so important to train our fascia - and just 10 minutes, twice a week is all it takes!

Book excerpt: If you want to be faster, stronger, and less prone to injury, it's critical you understand how important the body's fascia system is to athletic performance. Modern research and imaging technologies are showing us that it's far more significant than we have long understood. That's why Bill Parisi--founder of the Parisi Speed School--and extreme sports writer, Johnathon Allen, set out on a nationwide quest to interview the top experts in the field so they could present this new performance science in a paradigm shifting book that's not only packed with practical information, but also entertaining to read! Fascia Training: A Whole-System Approach, explores the new evidence-based science of fascia training as explained by top experts in the field, including "Dr. Back Mechanic" Stu McGill, champion Olympic coach Dan Pfaff, founder of Anatomy Trains Tom Myers, biomechanist Ken Clark, founder of Sparta Science Phil Wagner MD, and assistant coach of the Philadelphia 76ersTodd Wright. Fascia Training is a "must read" for anyone serious about improving performance and reducing injury.

The exercises in Fascial Fitness Through Yoga help to strengthen and stabilize the core, which is a central element in yoga. This improves posture and eliminates back pain. This fully illustrated book contains a comprehensive catalog of exercises and a sun salutation specially adapted to the fascia - the fascia salutation. Yoga fascia training is the ideal companion for anyone who wants to practice yoga and also stay supple, mobile and pain-free throughout their life.

Book excerpt: Anyone who wants an active, mobile and painless everyday life should be aware of the importance of their connective tissue! Understanding of connective tissue has greatly increased in recent years in physiotherapy, sports science and medicine. Muscular connective tissue - known as fascia - plays an important role in health, well-being and mobility, as it transmits the power of the muscles, communicates with the nervous system and serves as a sense organ. Fascia ensures the protection of the internal organs and forms the basis for a beautiful body shape. Connective tissue can work in the same way as your other muscles, responding to stress and nerve signals and, if it gets tangled or glued together, causing pain and problems with movement. Fascia should therefore be specifically exercised - but 10 minutes twice a week is all you need. In this book, leading German fascia researcher and Rolfing practitioner Robert Schleip describes how recent research findings can be translated into a practical exercise program for everyday use.

Book excerpt: Manage everyday pain with this effective, trainer-approved program that uses resistance stretching to increase strength, release tension, rejuvenate tissues—and much more. This accessible guide gives step-by-step instructions for people who feel tight or older than they should, people with poor posture, athletes who want to boost their performance, and those who want something more than conventional stretching. This book provides you with many different stretches for the whole body including the hands and feet, as well as routines for specific goals such as improving posture, helping office workers stay healthy, stretching the back, and more. Even those with sedentary lives will see and feel a difference, with just 10-20 minutes of stretching yielding benefits that may last the whole day. Many of us are limited in our movements, hunched over, or tight. Ideally, we would move in a variety of ways throughout the day, keeping our bodies fresh and youthful. However, office jobs and sofas can lead to bodies that are imprisoned in a cage of tension, whose tissue is dehydrated and stuck together, with some areas that are very weak or tight. Normal stretching is not strong enough to break us out of that state. When we tense our bodies and move through that tension, we engage the fascia and recondition it into a more youthful state, restoring great posture, elasticity, and power.
