Very excited that the world's first full body form of a fascia plastinate will be unveiled at the Berlin Body Worlds in November. My very own friend and yoga teacher was the lead in this project and it took 2 years to create. Very proud he was able to achieved this, it is history in the making. This connective tissue is key in efficient human movement -the muscles are more likely the dampners to slow you down... that makes an efficient system as muscles use alot of energy , whereas if you can move relying on a strong connective web i.e., the fascia you don't use so much (ref, Gary Carter).
A collaborative effort of the Fascia Research Society, The Plastinarium, and Body Worlds, the project is taking place at the Plastinarium laboratory in Guben, Germany.
