Hester van Aswegen Physiotherapy

Hester van Aswegen Physiotherapy I have a special interest in the treatment of women's and men's health, as well as pelvic dysfunction (Wayne Dwyer)

I am passionate about providing the best service possible to patients with pelvic floor dysfunction and also educating the public and medical professionals about physiotherapy services available for these conditions. I am part of the multidisciplinary team involved with treatment of patients with sexual dysfunction ( My Sexual Health - https://mysexualhealth.co.za/hester-van-aswegen/ ) as well as the colore**al / pelvic floor unit at WITS Donald Gordon medical centre . I believe that this collaboration in a multi-disciplinary unit ultimately delivers the best quality care to patients. I believe that โ€œDoing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your lifeโ€.

โ€œIs the lung part of a continuous fascial-organ system that communicates with the rest of the body?โ€

*Hyaluronic acid (HA) formed a seamless network through all lung compartments, connecting with vessel walls and nerve sheaths linking directly to the global fascial system.

*Tiny airborne carbon particles travelled through this connective network โ€” inside and beyond the lungs!

*Mouse lungs showed similar organization but lacked HA in alveolar walls, a subtle species difference in fascial architecture.

The study shows that interstitial spaces are communication highways between organs; pathways through which inflammation, infection or cancer may spread (even hinting at a fascial link between the lung and brain).
