From the MASSAGE Magazine article, “Guest Editorial: Research Confirms Intuition—Sometimes,” by Thomas Myers, in the February 2010 issue. Article summary: The second International Fascia Research Congress was held in Amsterdam in October. This unique biennial event brings together scientific researchers in the field of myofascial, connective tissue matrix and biomechanics to present their findings to clinicians. More than 500 practitioners attended, from all over the map in our field, from reiki to Rolfing, neuromuscular therapy to myofascial release—and from all over the world as well.
