Description

In this episode:

  • Fascia isn’t passive, it’s a sensory, innervated system talking to the brain
  • Loss of glide means pathology, chronic pain, even neuropathic symptoms
  • Densification: reversible stiffening that changes pain patterns
  • Mental health and fascia is a two-way street you can’t ignore
  • Get quick wins: observe movement, feel for glide and refer early

 

Expert: Alison Slater, Physiotherapist

Host: Dr David Lim, GP and Medical Educator
