Books and Ideas Podcast #15: Dr. Robert Schleip discusses Fascia
I have just posted episode 15 of Books and Ideas. (Download mp3 or go to show notes)
Books and Ideas Podcast #15 is an interview with Robert Schleip, PhD from the University of Ulm in Germany. Dr. Schleip is an experienced practioner of the body work method known as rolfing, but several years ago he went back and earned his PhD in Biology and began a second career as a research scientist. In our interview we discuss some of the recent discoveries that may revolutionize the way we look at the connective tissue that is commonly called fascia. We also talk about the importance of applying the scientific method to the evaluation of alternative and complimentary healing methods (CAM). Dr. Schleip’s enthusiasm for science made this a very enjoyable interview. Listen to the interview now.
