Fascia as Threshold: The Interface of the Sacred and the Profane
Exploring the Junction of Connection and MeaningFascia, the connective tissue enveloping muscles, organs, and structures within the human body, has long been a subject of fascination in the realms of anatomy, physiology, and holistic health. Beyond its biological function, fascia invites us to consider deeper metaphysical and philosophical implications—it serves as a threshold, an interface…
New Perspectives on the Organization of Living Tissue and the Ongoing Connective Tissue/Fascia Nomenclature Debate, as Revealed by Intra-Tissue Endoscopy That Provides Real-Time Images During Surgical Procedures
Intra-tissue endoscopy, providing real-time images at all scales, from macroscopic to microscopic, from inside living tissue during surgical procedures, has revealed the existence of a body-wide fibrillar architecture that extends from the surface of the skin to the cell. Different types of cells are housed within this fibrillar architecture and gather together to carry out…
The Primo-Vascular System (PVS): the Ultimate Fluid Fascia
The fluid fascia refers to the liquid component within the layers of connective tissue/fascia. It can shift and move in response to various internal factors (internal smooth muscles, lymphatic muscles, etc.) or external factors, such as movement, posture, skeletal muscle contractions, external compressions, deep breathing, beating of the arteries, and most probably emotions. The fluid…

The Primo Vascular System:A Unique Human Biological System Shifting MedicalParadigm
This article describes the historical background and pathophysiologic aspects of the Primo-Vascular System (PVS). The PVS is depicted as being the most recent body system to be discovered, with a specific anatomical and immunohisto-chemical signature that sets it apart from the arteriovenous and lymphatic systems. It is comprised of immune functions, endocrine functions, and is…
Being Bodyful: Cultivating Self-Awareness Through the Fascia-Brain Connection
In a fast-paced world, many of us live from the neck up — focused on thought, planning, and doing — often unaware of the subtle cues arising within our own bodies. Yet, our posture and the way we inhabit ourselves moment to moment can offer profound insight into how we feel, move, and relate. Reconnecting…
