Episode #134: Does Fascia Store Trauma?


The phrase “fascia remembers trauma” is often used in alternative medicine, bodywork, and somatic therapy to suggest that the body’s fascial tissue—a connective tissue network surrounding muscles, organs, and bones—can store emotional or physical trauma, impacting health and movement.

Join me for this episode of the Starline Equine Bodywork Podcast where I look at the scientific evidence to support claims both for and against whether fascia can store trauma.

I can’t wait to hear what you think!
