What does fascia have to do with pain, stiffness, flexibility, mobility, and how well you move as you age? More than most of us ever realized.
Fascia—the connective tissue network that runs throughout your entire body—is finally getting the attention it deserves. In The Fascia Connection, internationally recognized fascia expert David Lesondak separates science from myth to explain what fascia really is, how it works, and why it matters to the way you move and feel, every day.
Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical experience and the latest research, Lesondak explores the connections between fascia, movement, flexibility, pain, myofascial release, recovery, and healthy aging.
This book is a practical guide to working with yours.
The Fascia Connection includes 20 accessible, step-by-step movement practices that help you explore your own body and put the science into action.
Understand your fascia. Understand your body. Keep moving.
“A-ha! moments abound. Rich in motion, emotion, and solid scientific insights.”

The Bill Bryson of Fascia!!

“Fascia is one of those subjects where the accurate information is locked up in research papers and the accessible information is mostly wrong. This is the rare book that solves that.
Lesondak explains what fascia is and why it matters without simplifying it into something false. That's a harder trick than it looks. Most writing in this space either buries you in terminology or hands you a metaphor that falls apart the moment you press on it. He manages to stay accurate and stay readable at the same time, and he clearly knows the research well enough to know what he can safely leave out.
If you have no background at all, you can pick this up and follow it. If you already work with the body, you'll see he hasn't cut corners to get there, which means you can recommend it to your people without a caveat attached. That combination is genuinely rare.”
