Myofascial Magic in Action

"Insightful, interesting, and engaging. Joanne's new book embarks on a magical journey of discovery into the world of myofascia. Joanne and her contributors use historical perspective, shrewd metaphors, and creative and practical ideas to demonstrate the fundamental importance of myofascia in enabling movement and thus its contribution to our being. -- Professor Darrell Evans, BSc, PhD, Anatomist and Embryologist, University of Newcastle, Australia. Fracturing old, outdated ideas, Avison offers an eloquent, leading-edge account of the art and science of fasciategrity, embellished with her whimsical drawings and a flowing narrative, which delivers a heightened level of enjoyment and awareness to movement theory and practice. A true gift. -- Carol M Davis, Professor Emerita, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine ""What if we discovered that all we've been learning about anatomy these last 400 years is based on a metaphor that is, simply, wrong?"" It's the 21st century and an exquisite new world of understanding awaits us - take this journey with Avison et al and never look back. -- Jan Trewartha, Director of The Fascia Hub In this wonderful, clarifying book, Joanne lays out for us the mystery, magic, music, and majesty of fascia in her accessible, fun, uncompromising, and lyrical style. Joanne brings a rare artistic sensibility to the subject. Rather than being distanced from our fascia we enter into it and become friends with its intelligence, a process essential for our health and wellbeing as we move and breathe with our fascia; it protects us and is an interface with our subtle, energy body. This book is an essential read for knowing our bodies and ourselves. -- Paul Kaye, DSS, President of MSIA"
