Fascia and Strength: Why More Isn’t Always Better
Category: Health
Duration: 00:27:16

Description:

Real strength isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about moving smarter.


In this episode, Joanne Avison and Paul Thornley explore how fascia, biomechanics, and functional training reshape the way we think about strength. They discuss why “more effort” doesn’t always mean “more power,” and how the body’s connective intelligence — fascia — plays a vital role in building functional, sustainable strength that supports rather than strains.


Through practical insights and fascia-focused awareness, they uncover what true strength really feels like: elastic, responsive, and deeply integrated. This conversation is for teachers, therapists, and movers who want to go beyond muscle-based training and develop an intelligent relationship with the body’s natural architecture.

In this episode:

  • Why more effort doesn’t always create more strength
  • The difference between force and functional movement
  • Fascia as the body’s intelligent support system
  • How awareness improves flexibility, recovery, and performance
  • Myofascial training and dynamic resilience in practice
