For many itâs the season for gifting, and I want to share a very special gift with you, dear Listener! Last year John Sharkey and Mark Flannigan released a gold standard, peer-reviewed research paper which seeks to move us towards an interdisciplinary definition of fascia, particularly for the benefit of all fascia-focused movement and manual practitioners. Itâs an incredible and important piece of work, and so many of you loved hearing about it when I originally released this (in fact it quickly became one of our most listened-to episodes of all time), that I couldnât resist re-sharing it with you now, for any who missed it or any who want a refresher!
Every movement instructor and manual practitioner I meet seeks to help others to move better and feel better. We all strive to do our best within our respective modalities and âscope of practiceâ. Yet we find the definition of fascia elusive â because it is. Itâs elusive to us, to the medical professions and to our clients, when we try to translate what weâre doing and why. Learning about fascia and myofascial behaviours is rapidly becoming essential to all practitioners. Yet where do we start, if we donât have a definition that makes sense to us all?
In this paper these esteemed authors offer some brilliant insights and answers, which I attempt to translate and slightly âstorifyâ for you here, so that regardless of your modality or familiarity with reading research, youâll feel better informed overall, and inspired and confident to sit down and read it.
If you only want a general overview â and canât wait to read the actual piece â then stop at the 26 minute mark â and go to the paper from there. If youâd enjoy the deeper insights, then keep on to the cliff-hanger at the end! Either way â please gift yourself the paper and ENJOY!!
READ THE PAPER
âTowards a Paramedical Interdisciplinary Definition of Fascia Supporting Practitioners Offering Fascia-Focused Therapiesâ â John Sharkey, Mark Flannigan. Published in the International Journal of Anatomy and Applied Physiology (IJAAP) - ISSN: 2572-7451

Join Joanne and Paul in this engaging conversation, we delve into the crucial topic of RECOVERY for âweekend warriorsâ - those of us who push the physical limits during our weekends off or find time for only short concentrated stints of activities, whether itâs marathon training, football, sports, HIIT or intense bikingâŠwhatever we do at high intensity. Full recovery is often overlooked as unnecessary. It can be under-appreciated - itâs actually ESSENTIAL.

We share anecdotes and professional insights, from over 30 years of experience, to paint a vivid picture of how proper rest, hydration, and mindful recovery can transform anyoneâs fitness journey. Weâre really passionate about restoring through appropriate movement and helping everyone to prioritize the right kind of recovery for their sport or favoured activity so they can maintain long-term physical health! There is actually no need to compromise vitality, longevity or ability while sustaining our passion for movement and exercise - it really is possible!! You just need to know how.
So tune in, and learn some vital keys on how to become the architect of your own longevity and well-being.SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER

Joanne and Paul are back with another Myofascial Magic In Action episode! Listen in as they explain how fascia influences movement and adaptability - not just during intense exercise but also during our everyday activities. Fascia can thicken or soften and adapt to repeated stress - so whether it's weightlifting or long periods of sitting, it learns to meet the demand of âthat performanceâ. It is constantly seeking a balance between performance and recovery.
That really is key to long-term health. And another is the precious gift of pandiculation. Itâs a myofascial reset and itâs a super power, whatever your activity!!
So tune in to learn how to do this ultimate reset for peak performance and wellbeing, to hear about the fascia matrix and its dynamic nature, and to learn more about preventive healing strategies.

In this delightful interview with John Sharkey, we cover what we need to know as movement and manual therapists about Stretching, Myofascial integrity and some key principles about Fascia. I had this chat with John last year but it was only released on my YouTube channel and not on the podcast - til now!
John Sharkey is a Clinical Anatomist and an Exercise Physiologist with a gift of storytelling in a way that makes sense - in practical application - of the keys to good manual therapy and movement patterns.
We all love learning - and here are some golden nuggets for you to include in your practice. There's some opportunities to learn more too, should you want to go deep on making a bigger difference to your clients and those you teach! Enjoy!

Dr. Jean-Claude Guimberteau delves into the incredible world of fascia, providing biological insights and anatomy clarity on why being alive matters. Explore fascia functions and gain a deeper understanding of the human body in this fascinating conversation.
Dr Guimberteau is famous for his videos of the Fascia Matrix IN VIVO. In vivo means âin the living bodyâ, and in this interview Dr. Guimberteau points out that we make different conclusions when we learn in these different ways - and it matters.
Fascia is essentially, our living tissue architecture. Itâs alive and well to the extent that we are - and you could say we are alive and well to the extent that it is! Essentially, your fascia is organising you anyway - and Dr Guimberteau tells us why the way we learn is so important.
In fact it matters so much that we decided to re-release this gem of a conversation from our archives so that more of you can hear it. We also talk about the inspiration and motivation behind bringing his work to the public domain, the relationship between fractal chaos and efficient movement, and the non-linear nature of all biological forms.
Dr Guimberteau also treated us to some philosophical reflections on the deep wisdom that comes when we accept the unpredictable nature of the fascial fibres within us...
