Description: Fascial Fitness : Paperback : Lotus Publishing : 9781905367719 : 1905367716 : 01 Jun 2017 : 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.

Review: I had never heard of fascia until books like this popped up on Amazon's recommendations as I buy yoga books. Intrigued, I bought this book and find it very interesting to learn about this subject. The book is clearly written on good quality shiny paper with colourful illustrations. The exercises, from the basic 10 minutes twice a week recommended for beginners, to variations for people with particular physical needs, are very clearly explained and illustrated. The aim of the book is to help people to become more supple and to avoid or treat injury. As a sufferer from plantar fasciitis I look forward to doing the exercises which hopefully will help to prevent it returning, as well as doing the other exercises for overall wellbeing.

Review: Very faint print which makes the book difficult to read and enjoy. I also feel it is very repetitive and the book drags on. After reading the book the author could of written the content in a more concise way and the publisher could of least made the font larger and bolder for the reader. However on a positive the author enthusiasm in the field of fascia does show throughout the book.

    Description: 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. 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! In this revised edition of his best-selling guide to fascial fitness, the author 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!).

    Description: Rider Biomechanics begins by explaining fascia | ?? the 'cinderella of body tissues'. Until recently, this was ignored by science, consigned to its apparent role as the body's packing material. However, research shows that, in reality, this biological fabric links muscles into functional chains, rather like strings of sausages. Recent research has shown that the horse's fascial system is remarkably similar to our own, with equivalent 'lines of pull' that affect posture, movement, stability and mobility. Inevitably, the problems inherent in sitting and riding well are magnified when there is imbalance within and between the fascial 'guy-ropes' of rider and/or horse. We should realise that imbalance in either partner can send the other 'out of true', whilst the 'equipoise' of one partner helps the other to regain that poise. By working through this book, you will learn to access and rebalance your own fascial net to significantly improve your stability, skill and 'feel'. Practical exercises, enhanced with copious photographs and diagrams, show how to balance your front and back, left and right | ?? yielding skills that simultaneously address the equivalent imbalances in your horse. Mary explains how effective force transmission within the fascial system enables riders to push their hands forward, taking away the temptation to pull on the reins. Later chapters show how twists and distortions in both human and horse can be addressed through accessing the fascial lines that wrap diagonally around the body. Lastly, a look at the core of both partners shows just how profound their connection can be.

    Description: We're living in the # Insta Fit and # Fitspo era where fitness is more visible than ever.
