"Now, if you've never heard about fascial slings, or facial movement fascial lines, then this may be super new to you. So stick with me because you are going to understand your body and the body in movement in a way that is probably going to blow your mind." - Katie Crane


This episode of the Pilates Lounge Podcast dives deep into the body's fascial lines and their impact on posture and movement. Anatomists have uncovered the matrix of fascia connecting muscles and tissues through layers of the human body. In this topic, I will provide a detailed overview of the superficial backline and frontline fascial slings, detailing the muscles, tendons, and ligaments from feet to head. By exploring how maintaining proper tension in these lines through exercises like Pilates supports upright posture and basic movements, you gain insights into total-body exercises that can alleviate tension or pain.

“So this is where I think of the psoas as a core muscle or as part of the core. It's not so much part of the core, you know like I think of the transfer sabs, the pelvic floor, and the rectus abs and obliques. I don't think of it like that, but it's part of this fascial core because remember the psoas is definitely a mover.” - Katie Crane
