Fascia provides new insights into sports injuries
As an athlete, there is almost nothing worse than injuries. They affect training, performance, psychology, and in the worst case, an injury can mean you never reach the same level again or even have to quit.
But why do we get injured? Is it just chance and bad luck, or are there ways to minimize the risk or avoid injuries altogether? Why do some people heal faster than others?
Understanding fascia and that the body is a living system opens up a new way of understanding injuries. Everything from how to adapt the body to become better at absorbing impacts to the importance of understanding the connection between a stressful week at work and an ankle injury that became more severe than it should have.
… and of course, how an injury to the right ankle affects the left elbow.
Participants in the episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Hanna Ålander

Fasciaguiden: About the body, new research, and a changed perspective on health, aches, and pain
Fasciaguiden is a podcast about the body, new research, and a changed perspective on health, aches, and pain.
Fasciaguiden – about humans & the body
The main series, Fasciaguiden, began as a conversation between Hans & Axel Bohlin and Per Johansson, PhD in Human Ecology & Historian of Ideas, and it is about humanity's relationship with the body, about perspectives and paradigms, about new research & its consequences, and about the history of ideas & how we came to view the body as we do today.
Fascia & Childbirth
The Childbirth theme was recorded with midwife Cayenne Ekjordh and is about childbirth, pregnancy, and all the consequences that arise from how life begins.
Fascia in daily life
The Fascia in daily life theme is about, among other things, the immune system, the lymphatic system, nutrition, supplements, movement, and exercise. The host is Axel Bohlin, and guests are Camilla Ranje Nordin, Teacher in Fascia Knowledge & Fascia Treatment, and Fascia Therapist Ivar Bohlin.
Fascia & research
The Fascia & Research theme is an initiative that came about after Camilla Ranje Nordin read over 2000 research reports, numerous books, and watched countless lectures on Fascia. Together with Hans & Axel Bohlin, the latest research is dissected, and questions from listeners are answered.
As an athlete, there is almost nothing worse than injuries.
