The ol extracellular matrix! As much as I love your teasing apart of the various tissues I cannot help but believe there is a larger, comprehensive function of the fascia. Maybe our true nervous system? Energy transducer? Corridor to the soul? Fascianating!

Outstanding, Gil thanks! Question: As an adolescent I was an amazingly fast sprinter. (I somehow lost the ability during puberty.) But what I remember of it is that 1) it was effortless, and 2) its basis seemed to be some kind of SPRINGINESS. More specifically, that effortless speed appears to be a result of ELASTICITY throughout my body. My quest now is to identify the source of that ELASTICITY. My physiological research has led me the fact that connective tissue contains both collagen (for structural integrity) and ELASTIN (for elasticity!). I'm waiting on bated breath for you to talk about THE ELASTICITY WITHIN FASCIA. But, alas, that has not been forthcoming. Am I wrong about fascia having elasticity? Can you please speak to that in a video sometime?

Good topic for future video! Elastin provides SLIPPERYNESS, collagen provides the springiness when in the tendons it is healthily "crimped," which is to say organized in such a way as to facilitate loading and letting go, kind of in a zigzagish way (see the lab-clip at the end of my "Does Fascia Stretch?" video to get the general idea of how different fiber organization can lend itself to elasticity). We actually have a lot in common with kangaroos and horses on that score, and this "crimpyness" can be trained into tendons, unless, as in your case, you are blessed with it from the start! Deer boinga boinga their way effortlessly up the very steep hillsides where I live: why? Lots of crimp in their tendons allowing them to spring about seemingly light as feathers!

I find your personal history here somewhat fascinating. In order to research this you will have to learn as much as you can about what changes take place in "fascia- like" substances/tissues--such as how are they alike and how are they different and you cannot ignore the male/female gender differences if there are any. In doing this I would suggest that you do not rely ever of what anyone tells you. You will have to read the original research for yourself and that is no easy task which is why almost nobody does so. It is just too much work. And thinking. And analyzing. And time consuming. But it is worthwhile in the end and you can become as much as it is possible an "expert." At least with respect to the literature. Prof Dr. Martin Fischer of Jena University relates the example of a girl who before puberty could out throw in terms of distance any boy her age but she lost that capacity after puberty. Above all you must not discount nor ignore the role of fluids (such as fluid shear stress) within the structure as most everyone does today, even those who are part of the FRS. If I may recount an incident last year? I observed a group of 20 high schoolers out for a training run and my eye caught the effortless running of one girl whose ease of performance was beyond anything I had ever seen at any level of competition even Olympic level. I lost sight of here group and later came upon them but did not know which one was her because they were resting. I described to the coach what I had seen and he unhesitatingly pointed to that girl. I had about a ten minute talk with her and she was totally unaware of how here performance was unique and stellar. For her it was normal. For the others impossible. I do not believe any amount of training nor manual therapy nor diet nor whatever could ever result in any of her compatriots running with the ease with which she ran. My advice: If you got it flaunt it. Use it before you lose it. Nuff said! Let me know how your research goes. info@optimalbodywork.net

@@gilhedley449 Gil, yes, elasticity has the physical properties I am trying to locate. As you know, elasticity occurs when the right kind of medium (such as a spring or rubber band) is deformed. During the deformation, potential energy is stored in the medium, and when a release occurs, that potential energy become kinetic. And the sum total stored energy can be released as propulsive power. We see this demonstrated by pogo sticks, trampolines and archery bows. The physiology resources that I read, however, seem to undervalue the power of elasticity in the animal body. They seem to relegate elasticity to "shock absorption". (Is this true?) I suspect, on the other hand, that the considerable propulsive power of elasticity can be (and is) harnessed by the animal body. It's in the fascia! I suspect that the "effortless sprinting" speed I described earlier that I had as a pre-pubescent was, in fact, an (unconscious) exercise in that elastic propulsion. And, I think that I have rediscovered how to harness it physically. BTW, I am confused now about the function of elastin. The Oxford Languages dictionary defines elastin as "a protein forming the main constituent of elastic connective tissue..." This seems counter to what you said about collagen being more responsible for elasticity. Comments or corrections?

@@grantholland421 I am basing my understanding on what I have learned from my friend and colleague Robert Schleip, Ph.D., whose work I highly recommend, he has gone far down the rabbit hole of crimp, elasticity, "propulsive power" (I like your choice of words!) of the fascial system, and how to train elements of the fascial system to maximize crimp and springiness for athletic performance, injury recovery etc. Look up Robert, I could not offer a better resource for you (better than me, for sure, he is the co-founder of the International Fascia Congress, knows all the research, etc.)! As for elastin, it is my understanding (and I am very open to correction) that this particular type of fiber is surrounded by a "cushion" of repellent charge that maintains a "free floating" status, which when overcome by hydrogen bonding resultant from stasis and inflammation results in cross linking of fibers and loss of the slipperiness inherent in its relationship to other fibers resultant from that "charge cushion." Dive down the rabbit hole with Robert, I look forward to you furthering the exploration!

Hi Gil, This question may be better on another video, but it was a month ago and I'm hoping you'll see it here. I would love for you to comment on the parameters/criteria of the process in which a fascial area goes from 'melting' to protective layering. It appears to be my experience with many clients over the years who have had certain massage procedures repetitively, the goal of gelling those tissues out has not occurred but they now feel to me that they have created scar tissue or a thickening/protective layer similar to aponeurosis (thinking of the low back syndrome I have seen in clients who have received this kind of work). When does the tissue go from a 'willingness' to gel out/melt/stretch and release/relax to the creation of thicker scarring like layers? I have developed a protocol to address this with my clients but would love to understand the process better. Thank you:)

Not knowingly Ral~ I am often at a deficit when it comes to prior information about the donor's health status and am left to figure it out from the evidence before me at the macro-level. At the Institute for Anatomical Research (see link above) where I work now, there are more instances due to having our own donor program where the families share detailed information, but this is a newer phenomenon in my career and so I have yet to be made aware that a given donor form had suffered from that dread problem. Thank you for watching!

I would like to orient the question/discussion in the direction of what is termed by many anatomists "loose areolar connective tissue" where it is found in the female human form commonly called "breast tissue." I realize we are dealing (as with almost everything we attempt to find a common nomenclature for in the human body) a host of terms one may call this. I suggest this is a unique type of fascia but I wonder if by your definition and characteristics you describe in this video, would you suggest it is a perifascia (PF). If so or if not, what is/are the characteristics or lack thereof that would or would not qualify it in your thinking as PF or not? Just being curious and inquisitive here.

Hey Barry! Both superficial fascia (as Grey and I term it: the subcutaneous adipose) and perifascia would in normal conversation (meaning not between 2 integral anatomists) would be classified as loose areolar connective tissue. I find this not to be very useful nomenclature for several reasons. I would consider superficial fascia and perifascia both to be "fascia" properly understood, meaning, an aggregate of connective tissue that wraps other tissues and can be dissected into a sheet. I can do that and have done that to those tissues in literally thousands of instances, so they sure seem to qualify as fascia properly understood, and not merely "loose areolar connective tissues" to me. That having been said, to me, as a person dissecting textural layers and following their continuities across regions, "breast tissue" to me is clearly a "specialized function" with glandular components WITHIN the superficial fascia. When you dissect the WHOLE superficial fascia as an organ in and of itself, the breast tissue comes with it, as if to be vortexes within the larger "body" of superficial fascia and not readily differentiated from it except as a morphological hillock as opposed to a structure separable by a membrane, the disruption of which might allow us to say "this is this and that is that." Great question, I appreciate the chance to elaborate here!

Barry - I watched KZitem video FasciaBuild of the Pasta “Fasciaccine - Fascia + linguine/fettuccine" from 2014. It is a highly intuitive way of demonstrating the human body using polymers of flour, salt and water. Laying down random lengths of oiled pasta to represent muscle fibers is critical to what you demonstrated: an individual muscle fiber does not run the length of the muscle, and the length of the muscle fiber inside the collagen fascia fibrils varies. This leaves Nano-Gaps. AND THE PASTA IS OILED!! A waxy fatty coating, is necessary so that, as you say, "After all we wouldn't want to be working with substances that have a propensity to form adhesions now would we?" The Nano-GAP is critically important to the Higgledy-Piggledy Structure in the Reservoir of Perifascia. Fibers in the brain are interwoven at 90 degrees angles of crossing (per Dr. David J Mikulis kzitem.info/news/bejne/qYh-k4yIj6x0pYY) A lost of fibers in a boxer's brain causes movement & cognition disorders. The body is the brain. Science also knows the Nodes of Ranvier MUST have gaps. Per wikipedia "....exchange of ions required to regenerate the action potential. Nerve conduction in myelinated axons is referred to as saltatory conduction (from Latin saltus 'leap, jump') due to the manner in which the action potential seems to "jump" from one node to the next along the axon. This results in faster conduction of the action potential."
