   S3:E4 Fascinating fascia

   What is fascia? Well, we think we know what it is from our dissection classes and our surgeries. But what does it do? Looks innocuous, right? It must play a role in pain if we are talking about it? Studies show that 30% of muscle power is related to fascia. No surprise then of the importance of fascia in our OA patients and post spinal surgery cases. Fascia connects everything and plays a role beyond just structural - becoming particularly significant as a pain driver in disease. In this episode we talk to Dr Doris Timmann who brings her experience of this fascinating organ to us!
