In this episode the tables are turned and Joanne is interviewed by her colleague John Sharkey about her new book, 'Myofascial Magic in Action.'

In this episode of the Myofascial Magic In Action Podcast, co-founders Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley discuss a recent workshop in Manchester and the keys participants went home with - secrets they don’t often share! They delve into the foundational principles of myofascial magic, and explore the disconnect between traditional fitness regimens that don’t honour real, practical human movement...

Paul shares insights from his workshop, stressing the importance of understanding the human body as a fluid, integrated system rather than focusing solely on muscle-based exercises and out of date regimes. They share how to adapt training methods to individual needs - how to enhance dexterity and vitality and not inadvertently damage or diminish it. How to work with scar tissue and prevent over-training syndromes.

What nuanced differences can you add in, whether you work with elite athletes or everyday individuals? How can you incorporate these simple refinements to your movement practice? Tune in to find out!
