Report on Fascia Research: Research scientist and Rolfer Robert Schleip reveals the conclusive results of his three (3) year European Fascia Research project.  This will be his first visit to the US to present his findings and their implications to the medical and bodywork communities. He visited NY in August 2005 to present preliminary findings and intrigued the attendees with his newly developed concepts of fascia/connective tissue being more directly linked into the nervous system than previously understood.  His illuminating description of newly discovered mechano-receptivity in fascia strongly impacts what we know about how manual manipulation bodywork stimulates various responses and the untapped potential thereof.  Mr. Schleip will present a new and exciting concept about the relationship between therapeutic stimulation of fascial mechano-receptivity and the regulation of fascial tonus by the nervous system.  The bodywork practitioner is now seen as communicating with a self-regulating organism rather than the sculptor of a plastic medium, as his study redefines the nature of connective tissue. He will be a lead presenter at the International Fascia Conference in Boston, MA in October 2007. However, Texas is honored that he has agreed to make Plano, Texas his premier venue for this long awaited conclusive report.
Trauma Energetics and Intuition:  Award winning author Dr. James Oschman (“Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis” and “Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human performance”) is an engaging speaker who will deliver a lecture on his research which has profound implications regarding current understanding of how the human body communicates within itself. His emerging studies profile the connective tissue body as a living matrix which provides a high-speed electronic communication and information processing system in the human body. This system may underlay classical concepts of the subconscious and intuition that can help us explore the boundary between conscious and subconscious phenomena.  The hypothesis is that the connective tissue matrix and its extensions reaching into every cell and nucleus in the body is a whole-person physical system that senses and absorbs the physical and emotional impact in any traumatic experience.  The matrix is also the physical material that is influenced by virtually all hands-on, energetic and movement therapies.
