Strolling under the skin

Images of Living Matter Architectures

This is a most inspiring video journey into the architecture of human fascia. It is a ‘must have’ for every bodyworker and movement therapist.
The world lying beneath the skin remains to be discovered…
…to be discovered by scientists because apart from a few notions evidenced at the beginning of the 20th century, the relationships between the organic structures and how they slide together are poorly understood.
…to be discovered also by the layman, who will come upon a world of colours, changing structures, a world constantly adapting, whose ultimate goal is to provide flexibility, allow movement and maintain equilibrium.

For over half a century, research has neglected these territories. Let’s simply contemplate these structures that are our very make-up… and ponder upon them.
This 28-minutes video from Dr. Jean Claude Guimberteau, a plastic and hand surgeon, shows you the most fascinating images of living fascia. The beautiful and magnificent images is sufficient, but you also learn how the collagen, ground substance water and fat work together to make the ‘sliding system’ – the body’s interconnected system of loose connective tissue.
