Recent fascia research led by Dr. John Sharkey describes fascia not as passive wrapping, but as a living, adaptive network that processes mechanical input like touch, pressure, and movement.
Instead of:
“Press here until tissue softens”
Fascia appears to:
• sample mechanical information
• communicate chemically and mechanically
• reorganize itself based on context
This helps explain why:
✨ gentle work can be powerful
✨ less pressure sometimes works better
✨ the same technique feels different on different days
In this view, massage becomes biological communication, not tissue correction.
Your body isn’t being forced into change, it’s actively participating in it.
🧠 Based on research by John Sharkey et al., published in LIFE (MDPI), exploring fascia as a self-organizing, adaptive system.
