Science is catching up with what we as therapists 'know' by what we feel under our fingers......
Wonderful! 👍😊

After identifying interlocking symmetries in mammalian cells, scientists can describe some tissues as liquid crystals — an observation that lays the groundwork for a fluid-dynamic theory of how tissues move.

I have brought back a huge amount of new information from the scar conference in Montpellier. There were so many interesting speakers, including surgeons, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, people who specialise in creams and gels, or compression garments or hands on treatment.
