EFFICIENT EXERCISES FOR YOUR MUSCLES AND FASCIA - MAXIMIZE YOUR PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMIZE REGENERATION

The exercises shown in this video enable you to combine functional fitness training with effective treatment of your fascia. Fascia expert Dr. Robert Schleip explains: "Healthy fascia ensure a higher level of agility, proper nourishment of muscles and the best possible regeneration. Furthermore, it creates a so-called "catapult mechanism" and this elastic recoil not only has a positive impact on your athletic performance, it's also crucial for explosive movements like jumps and sprints."

FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY DR. ROBERT SCHLEIP

Robert Schleip, PhD is one of the leading experts in fascia research. He's the director of the Fascial Research Group at the University of Ulm, Germany, and he was the co-initiator of the first International Fascia Research Congress held in Boston, MA in 2007. The conference proved to be a catalyst for intensive fascia research, and now you have the chance to learn highly valuable facts and information about fascia and self-myofascial release from a true expert and a pioneer in fascia research.

PROACTIVE TRAINING TO COMBAT BACK PAIN AND POSTURAL DEFECTS

Well-nourished fascia is not only important for athletes. When you sit for extended periods your fascia can adhere, and these adhesions can lead to tension and postural defects. Many people working in an office suffer from neck, shoulder and back pain, and these problems often arise from unhealthy fascia. With this workout you'll not only be able to stabilize problem areas in your body, you can also prevent further damage to your muscles and fascia.

INCREASE YOUR MOBILITY AND THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR MUSCULAR SYSTEM

There is no doubt that fascial fitness is effective, therefore sports medicine specialist Dr. Lutz Graumann recommends fascial workouts not only to his patients: "Blackroll training is beneficial for everyone, because it allows you to smoothen and soften your connective tissue. You're able to ease tensions in your muscles and to release adhesions in your fascia. Your fascia will be rehydrated and nourished properly. This enables you to expand your range of motion and to increase your agility. On top of that, you can significantly reduce injury risks."
