Architecture of Human Living Fascia by Jean Claude Guimberteau & Colin Armstrong

Description

This unique book illustrates the structure of the fascia in the living human being. Dr Guimberteaus photographs provide a detailed account of fascial architecture. The accompanying text explains what the photographs mean, clarifies the importance of the fascia, and sets out the implications of these findings for everyday therapeutic practice.
This beautifully illustrated book provides an introduction to Dr Guimberteaus groundbreaking work. He is the first person to publish video “movies” showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the “microvacuole” is the basic functional unit. His films confirm the continuity of fibres throughout the body thereby seeming to confirm the tensegrity theory, which provides the basis of many manual therapy and bodywork teachings.
