The Body Knows

What fascia actually is, how it connects every organ, nerve, and bone — and why it matters more than your muscles.

Show Notes

In this episode of The Body Knows, I want to help you get to know fascia — the continuous web of connective tissue that surrounds every muscle, organ, nerve, and bone in your body. I walk through the three layers of fascia, the many roles it plays, and what happens when it becomes dehydrated or begins to adhere. My hope is that you come away seeing fascia the way I do: as one of the biggest, most interconnected systems in the body.

What is The Body Knows?

How does the body actually heal? Leigh Ankrum — founder of the Ankrum Institute and a teacher of whole-body manual therapy — shares short, clear conversations on what your body is telling you: fascia, the nervous system, the body's pressure systems, movement, and the deeper patterns underneath pain. If you have ever sensed there was more to your symptoms than you were told, you are in the right place. The body knows — listen in.
