What I'm Reading, What I'm Thinking In this episode of 'What I'm Reading, What I'm Thinking', we dive into fascinating research on fascia structure and movement, particularly addressing those persistent tight and sticky spots in your muscles. Learn about the role of Hyaluronan (HA) in connective tissue, how it affects fascia, and the surprising findings on tissue densification. Discover how changes in HA's viscosity—not dehydration—lead to thickened fascia and explore reversible methods such as manual therapy, movement, and hydration to restore optimal tissue glide. Join me as I unravel how these insights shape my upcoming book on the interconnectedness of pressure, movement, and hydration in our bodies. 00:00 Introduction to Fascia and Movement
