This December, we are devoting the whole month to the topic of FASCIA!
In the first of two 'expert episodes', we have the pleasure of being joined by Julian Baker & Ana Barretxeguren. Together they tackle the task of defining what fascia is, its function and how the last 30 years of research has seen our understanding of fascia evolve.

Warning: The VIDEO recording of this episode available on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube channel and Sports Therapy Association Website includes images of cadaveric dissection which are not suitable for younger viewers and some adults. We discuss how dissection classes can help improve a therapist's understanding of the role of fascia in the human body.
