Why Fascia Really Matters!

I want to share with you this episode from the podcast Special Needs in motion by Ilana Danneman where she interviewed me. 

It is always exciting to share my journey that started when I was 13 years old, and I decided I wanted to help children with cerebral palsy, and what happened when I felt my toolbox was not enough to help. Knowing that other therapists see the value in this approach keeps me going.

Listen to the episode.

Here are some key aspects we covered:

• A bit about my journey and how I felt defeated when my therapeutic toolbox wasn't enough to help my patients. 

• What is fascia and why does it matter (and why we didn't - and still don't- know much about it)? 

• What is biotensegrity? the paradigm shift. 

• How do fascia and biotensegrity help us understand what is happening in cerebral palsy? 

• Why stretching is not a good idea? 

• Understanding our fascia work as the base for other therapy approaches. 

• What are the ideas to play? We need to feed the fascia with micro-movements. 

• What is the link between fascia and muscle tone?

• What is segmentation and how does it relate to weight-bearing? 

• Empowering the parents is key to transforming the child's structure. 

• The community around fascia and biotensegrity is a welcoming one. Anyone can join the conversation.
