More about FR:EIA – Fascia Reveled: Educating Interconnected Anatomy

The field of fascia research has undergone remarkable expansion and growth in the last decade, which is shaping the progression of many related fields. In order to further support fascia anatomy education, the imaging of fascia has also been expanding, but until now a true visualization has been a challenge.

Based on this, the teams behind the BODY WORLDS Exhibitions and the Fascia Research Society joined forces to create an interdisciplinary team with the lofty goal to produce a full body plastinate, revealing the entire human fascial net, three-dimensionally. The result of this ambitious three-year project is the successful creation of the world’s first 3-D human fascia plastinate titled FR:EIA (Fascia Revealed: Educating Interconnected Anatomy). FR:EIA will become the new attraction and an integral part of the permanent collection at the BODY WORLDS Museum in Berlin.

The minds behind the project and leading protagonists of the two organizations, Dr. Vladimir Chereminskiy and Gary Carter, are excited to reveal the first fascial focused whole-body plastinate, to the world. They will talk about the obstacles they faced and benefits now available through this unique specimen for medical and anatomical education. Dr. Robert Schleip, world-known fascia researcher and scientist, and Rachelle Clauson, fascia expert and author, will moderate this special online event. Don’t miss it!

You know those people who say you can't change tissue? Well I'm I am absolutely geeked to have Dr Bo Ri Seo as my guest today and she's going to explain otherwise.  She is the lead writer on of the most exciting papers I've read this year. I talked about on Episode 30, and now she's here on BodyTalk. You're going to love what she has to say!

Massage doesn’t just make muscles feel better, it makes them heal faster and stronger

Dr. Bo Ri Seo is a biomedical engineer who has been studying mechanobiology and mechanotherapy to develop therapeutic strategies for cancer and tissue regeneration. Her research interests are in tissue microenvironment engineering and regenerative immunoengineering. Her recent work has focused on understanding the immunoregulatory roles of mechanical loading on improving skeletal muscle regeneration as well as the impacts of physicochemical cues in stem cell division at a single cell level as a postdoctoral research fellow at Dr. David Mooney’s group at Harvard University and Wyss Institute of Biologically Inspired Engineering. Prior to joining Mooney group at Harvard, Dr. Seo received her bachelor’s degree from Korea University in Seoul, South Korea, and obtained her doctoral degree under the mentorship of Dr. Claudia Fischbach in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University. She recently joined Takeda as research scientist.

James Earls is a bodyworker and functional movement therapist. His passion is to bring a true and deep understanding of functional anatomy to therapists of all forms. James has written two books, ‘Born to Walk’ and ‘Understanding the Human Foot’ both of which put anatomy into context of normal, real-life movement.

James has been a bodyworker for longer than he would rather say but David will let you know within the first 5 seconds of this podcast. As James has no kids to homeschool and no particularly healthy hobbies to keep him occupied during lockdown he decided to write another book which he is happy to shamelessly plug during this hour of rather rambling but ever so interesting chat with your gracious host DAVID LESONDAK!

Happy Halloween! Welcome to an encore presentation of my discussion with Lauri Nemetz about what it's like to work in a human cadaver lab!

As some medical schools move away from dissection and towards virtual imaging to discover the inner reality of the body, many manual therapists, yoga teachers, and somatic therapists of all kinds are kicking it old school – by learning about anatomy and challenging themselves in cadaver labs. Adjunct Associate Professor at Pace University, master dissector, dance and yoga teacher Lauri Nemetz and I share tales from the lab and the lessons we learn about life when we study the dead.

Kerry Harling

Kerry’s ethos as a health professional is that health is NOT one size fits all. Each of us is unique, and as such require individualized treatment. Her philosophy on health and medicine began when, as part of her graduate studies, she observed the effects of environmental toxins on human health — toxins which left patients with a myriad of symptoms that didn’t have a specific diagnosis. She has since dedicated her life to developing an integrative approach to medicine that combines the individualized approach of Ayurveda with the benefits of modern technology, such as genetics. By combining the wisdom of eastern medicine with the breakthroughs of western technology, she is able to create wellness plans for her patients that are personalized down to the molecular level.

Kerry has a B.S. in Neuroscience, a Masters in Education, and has studied at The Kripalu School For Ayurveda and the world renowned Ayurveda Institute. She is the CEO of The Holistic Highway, where she helps her clients achieve optimal health through customized health services and programs. She also has a practice at The University Of Pittsburgh’s Center For Integrative Medicine, runs the Ayurveda Sanctuary nationally, is a registered practitioner with the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA), member of Yoga Alliance, and the owner of the TEDx Talk, "Context Is Everything."
