With the British Fascia Symposium only four weeks away, we're excited to announce that next Thursday (23rd May), Eric Franklin (Franklin Methode International) is hosting a FREE webinar for ALL to support our British Fascia Symposium charity fundraiser for InterAct Stroke Support.

In this class, Eric will explore the many layers of pelvic floor fascia and the connections between them – in a clear and practice-driven way. He'll look at the seven planes of fascia, from the peritoneum to Colles' fascia. You will learn to activate the fascia and organs using innovative, evidence-based exercises and imagery.

This webinar is generously given by Eric Franklin to support Interact Stroke Support, an award-winning charity which, for the past 24 years, has been taking professional actors into hospitals to read poetry and stories to stroke survivors, bringing them stimulation, engagement and laughter. It is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting stroke recovery through the arts.
