Overview

Imagine a soft and squishy wetsuit surrounding, connecting, and protecting all your bones, your organs, your nerves, your muscles ... Imagine this wetsuit alive, dynamic, infused with an energy - a spirit - that disappears when we die. This wetsuit, The Living Wetsuit, is a simple analogy that helps explain and demystify fascia, the main connective tissue in our body. Understanding fascia is the key to understanding our own bodies and health, giving us a powerful tool to improve the ways we look after, treat, and heal ourselves. In The Living Wetsuit, Sue Adstrum traces the fascinating history of anatomy, explaining how and why our understanding of the human body - particularly fascia - has evolved over time. Exploring the crucial role fascia plays in our body, the book explains how it becomes damaged or hurt over time, and the practical solutions we can use to fix and care for our fascia. A unique, engaging analysis on the intersections of historic, cultural, and medical knowledge, The Living Wetsuit is an essential read for anyone who has a body.

Author Information

Sue Adstrum, PhD is an integrative anatomist (a transdisciplinary anatomy researcher and writer) who delights in demystifying anatomy (understandings of the body's structure) so that people can be more constructively involved in the health-related decisions and activities that pertain to them, as well as the people they help care for. She graduated from the New Zealand School of Physiotherapy in 1974, and then, nearly two decades later, became fascinated by the relationship between anatomy, fascia (the body's soft connective tissue fabric), and the ways people are able to think about healing and healthcare. Wanting to learn more about these things, she enrolled at New Zealand's University of Otago as a 'mature' student and earned a string of useful postgraduate qualifications, ending with a PhD in 2015. Since then, Sue has written several widely-read journal articles, a textbook chapter, and has presented her research internationally at a number of conferences. Sue's work uniquely brings together several decades worth of conventional and complementary health practitioner training, clinical experience, and adult teaching experience with an eclectic raft of post-graduate university studies - in anatomy, anthropology, medical history and public health. The Living Wetsuit, her first book, pulls everything she has learned together in a way that she hopes will be accessible and useful for a general audience.
