Dr Robert Schleip worked for many years as a hands-on, manual therapist. He became so interested in a type of connective tissue in our body called fascia, that he ended up entering into research to study it. He is now visiting Professor at the Technical University of Munich, Germany.
In this interview Robert shares some of the intriguing findings from his work, including how different types of stress can be stored in our bodies in different ways. He and other researchers are declaring the connective tissue in our bodies - our fascia - our richest sensory organ of all. He also explains how breathing exercises and humming can powerfully effect our physiology through the release of nitric oxide.
