Strolling under the Skin

Basic Science

Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau

Devon Larratt (the AW GOAT) told me about this. Thanks for educating us further than the table 🙏🏽

This was advanced enough that I had to actively listen and only barely kept up, but the narration and script is so clear that I did keep up. Very fun

I’m no doctor or scientist but I have been able to understand this superb video and it made me understand why my body blocks and hurt so much and why chinese medicine treatments such as Tuina and osteopathy treatments help my lymph to better circulate in me body and stop blocking and causing painful pressure or pushing on organs and structure. I can now show these images to my doctor and make him understand my body. I am forever grateful for the sharing of this private material of Dr. Guimberteau which I would never had access to otherwise!

I’m a dance teacher looking to better understand fascia and this video is a marvel! Many thanks!

[MamaLoLa]

Fascinating! Or Fascia-nating LOL! More understanding on this subject that I love! Thank you!

[IragmanI]

This is the most fascinating thing I've learnt of this decade!

Amazing video, thank you. I was introduced to the work of Darcy Thompson in 1962 as a 2nd year architecture student, and learnt to Intuit structural forces by using my body. And later, the "tensegrity" structures of the much more famous Bucky Fuller: which make perfect sense here -- also the concept of redundancy in highly complex structures, where stress on any one component is transferred throughout the entire structure -- so you can lose a few components without affecting the integrity of the whole.

Am also highly intrigued by the gel-like "4th phase" of water (GeraldPollack) and its loss from our piped water systems due to right angled bends and absence of vortical flow: which also reduces the amount of electrons present, which contributes to inflammation and ageing -- as "inflammageing". Plus the presence of acupuncture meridians within the fascia dependent on piezoelectric effects, all points to the importance of the fascia at very fundamental levels of health.

This is a beautiful video making us aware of how the fascia look and work. Decades ago, Dr. Ida Rolf discovered the importance of facia for posture and mobility and created a method of manually manipulating the fascia to improve health, mobility and reduce pain. It is known as Rolfing.

Great introduction to a complex subject. It shows the true importance of the study and treatments of the whole body and not a wishful thinking quick fix component intervention. We are finally moving on from a long term medical stagnant regimen. Super video and a great study.

I wish a lot more people would watch this and understand that we are all truly holistic.

I have been a Board-Certified Massage Therapist for just over 30 years. This information was not available back in the day although some of it was hypothesized. Simply amazing work and research, and very well presented. Thank you!

[GlitchBytes]

We are beautifully and wonderfully made!

[thefiremountainschoolofchi]

What a brilliant and enlightening video! Thank you for sharing this unique perspective and your profound insight. This video has had an incredible impact on how I teach and practice. I see something new every time I watch it. Very grateful.

Thank you for this beautifully imaged and informatively narrated video. I only learned about this system a few years ago, (as a nurse researching non-invasive deep tissue microscopy) and have found very little written and almost no continuing research on it. This complex organ that connects and subtly but importantly, separates & mobilizes these systems. This fluid filled 'virtual fascial space' is starting to be recognized as a separate system or even an organ. Perhaps another generation of doctors will have to pass on before the revelations of non-invasive deep tissue microscopy and the implications of the fascial space on other adjacent tissues like musculature, skeleton, lymph, vasculature, etc. and in neurology, chiropractic, immunology, movement, massage, acupuncture, etc. ..

Start. The visuals, the information, the voice...and the music! 😍 Repeat. That was a really good stroll, wasn't it?

[tristanwegner]

The fibers end migrating back and forth along another fiber is something I would not have though possible. See from 24:25 . What an amazing material.

[T.S.-eomy]

Saw this point-blank as a kid when learning how to field dress small game after hunting. Learned quite quickly we’re all miracles….that all this works the way it does and continues to do so.

[doctordm]

In his book, "Born To Walk, " James Earls explains that it is this elastic fascia that is the "motor" for our walking movement. It is highly desirable to have these fascia released (by a qualified therapist), because the fascia become stuck as we age and due to improper movement habits, and injury and scarring.

[ninajoyrizzoartist-designe]

everything in the body has to move. this is fantastic to see such microscopic layers sliding on top of each other!

[승권양-ei]

Thanks you very much. I can control the flow of ROS in the fascia. I just have to wait until the right time comes.
