DESCRIPTION

A Movement Practitioner’s Guide to How the Body Really Moves
Fascia is a connective tissue in the body that has a vital role to play in providing support and structure to organs, muscles, and other tissues. This accessible, easy-to-read guide is designed for yoga teachers, therapists, and movement professionals to help unlock the secrets of fascia and guide their students toward greater wellbeing.

"Avison offers an eloquent, leading-edge account of the art and science of fasciategrity"

Myofascial Magic in Action is the first of five books explaining how fascia relates fundamentally to human movement and changes all that we thought we knew. Joanne Avison's explanations are straightforward and accessible while exploring keys to balance, poise, ease of motion, longevity, resilience and the natural magic of this incredible tissue network within EVERY human body. In this book, you will discover the magic of how myofascia (particularly) and fascia (universally) design individual shape and motion. You will uncover the "5 Rs of myofascial magic":

- Rebound - how we use the ground as a free resource
- Recoil - how the human blueprint relies on it for well-being
- Release - how everyone has access to (metabolically) free elastic energy
- Restore - how every age and stage of fitness and ability can be optimised
- Refine - how to optimise whatever is best for the individual, however they are at the time

Learning about the intricate and fascinating web of connective tissue, known as the fascia, will transform your practice and the way you perceive the human body and the beings you work with. As a practitioner, regardless of modality, this serves the keys to optimising programmes for different clients. This is a fantastic resource for yoga teachers, therapists, and movement professionals as well as manual therapists looking for small micro-movements to give their clients for homework. Distinguish where the magic happens, from the inside out.
