Key takeaways
01Dead tissue dissection does not accurately represent how living fascia looks or behaves
02Guimberteau's 2005 film captured living fascia on camera for the first time using small camcorders
03
Living fascia appears far more complex and dynamic than any anatomy textbook shows
04Study living tissue sources, not just dissection-based anatomy, to understand fascial function

A living body and a dead body is not the same thing!
For hundreds of years we have used dissection to understand our anatomy. But the bodies dissected are dead (thankfully), and there is a profound difference between a dead body and a living – namely life.
So how does it look inside a living body?
Thanks to Dr. Jean Claeude Guimberteau you can see for your self! In his 2005 video Strolling under the skin, he has used small camcoders to capture vidoe of living Fascia – and it does not look like anything you’ll find in an anatomy text book.
As we have previously mostly seen Fascia during dissection of dead people and animals, Guimberteaus film gives us a deeper understanding of how living tissue functions and how complex, but ingenious our body actually is.
