In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann welcomes David Lesondak—bodyworker, fascia specialist, and author of the international bestseller Fascia: What It Is and Why It Matters—for a deep dive into the connective tissue that’s reshaping how we understand movement, pain, and healing.

With over 25 years of clinical experience and a multidisciplinary background in Structural Integration, Fascial Fitness, Visceral Manipulation, and more, David brings clarity and curiosity to the fascia conversation. His work at UPMC’s Center for Integrative Medicine and his contributions to the Fascia Research Congress have helped elevate fascia from fringe to foundational.

This episode explores:

• The story behind Fascia: What It Is and Why It Matters

• How fascia bridges biomechanics, proprioception, and emotional resilience

• The role of media and storytelling in fascia education

• Collaborations with thought leaders like Jaap van der Wal

• What fascia might say if it could talk—and what it wants us to know

• The next frontier in fascia research and clinical application

🎧 Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts science, soul, and somatic wisdom.
