- 01Stretching reduces inflammation — a key factor linked to both chronic pain and cancer
- 02Cancer cells grew and metastasized in stiff tissue but not in loose, healthy tissue
- 03Fascia stiffness may create a physical environment that promotes tumor growth
- 04Fascia is directly interrelated with immune system function — not just structural support
- 05Research now connects fascial health to conditions ranging from back pain to cancer
The last decade there has been an explosion of fascia research.
New research leads to insights and by looking at the body in a completely new way we get new perspectives and explanations to symptoms and diseases like lower back pain, obesity, diabetes and even cancer.

Patricia Keely: Tissue Stiffness and Cancer Growth
Does cancer cells have anything to do with the physical environment in the affected part of the body?
To test this hypothesis Patricia Keely used two containers, one containing loose tissue and one containing stiff tissue.
She then grew cancer cells in both of them. After 10 days the loose tissue had no cancer cells and the stiff tissue had developed metastasis.
