Description

Myofascia is currently the hottest topic in somatics. It is the packing material, the bubble wrap of the body, surrounding muscle, organ, bones and securing their positions. It also carries the interstitial fluids, and has a critical influence on the immune and hormonal systems. So, in order to be effective, all manual body work must create change in the myofascia, for myofascia is central to any lasting therapeutic intervention. The great value of The Endless Web, a book twenty years in the making, is that it provides the information necessary to work with myofascia, and is the only body work book to treat the myofascial system as an integral system of the body in its own terms.
