The Fascia Guide

Somewhere right now, someone is in pain that could already be eased. On average it takes seventeen years for research to reach the people who need it. Most keep suffering in that gap.

Recorded live at the Swedish Fascia Convention - The Living Body, Uppsala, June 2025. Ivar Bohlin, Hans Bohlin and doctors Mareike Claussen and Beate Maul on what happens when you stop letting research sit on the page and start putting it to work, and what it takes to act on an idea before you can prove it is right.

“I’m done thinking and talking about problems. I want solutions, I want them now, and I’m going to do something about it.” - Ivar Bohlin

If you have ever been the only person in the room who understood why fascia matters, this one is for you.

In this episode, we talk with Australian osteopath Richard Stevens about his journey into fascia treatment, what led him from Melbourne to Swedish Fascia Convention, and how a new approach to health can transform both body and mind.

From treating horses to helping people breathe for the first time in years - Richard shares how fascia and flow are the future of well-being.

We explore the difference between theoretical knowledge and embodied understanding – the kind you find in a skilled chef who “just knows” without needing a recipe.

This episode invites reflection on how we learn, what we trust, and how fascia might help us reconnect with a more intuitive, grounded kind of knowing.

In this thought-provoking conversation, we meet Dr. Neil Theise — liver pathologist, fascia researcher, and author of Notes on Complexity.

This is more than an interview; it’s a journey through science, philosophy, and the very structure of life itself. Together with Axel, Hans, and Per Johansson, Theise explores what fascia really is, how the body can be understood as a self-organizing complex system, and why our views on medicine, science, and consciousness may need to change at the deepest level.

We talk about the body’s boundaries, energy flows, electromagnetic fields, quantum physics, relationships, and how consciousness may be much more than just a product of the brain. Theise explains why fascia can be seen as an interface connecting the body’s different levels — and why complementarity, rather than opposition, is the key to understanding both the body and the world.

An episode that touches both heart and mind — and perhaps something even greater.

Participants in this episode: Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Neil Theise.
