For over 15 years, I have shared Gil Hedley’s famous Fuzz Speech with my patients, as well as in every public and professional presentation I’ve given on fascia. Watching people’s “aha” moments as they grasp how restrictions develop in their bodies has been incredibly rewarding. Today, I have the great pleasure of sitting down with Gil himself to explore fascia, emotions, and the profound ways our experiences shape our tissues.
In this conversation, we discuss:
🔸 How The Fuzz Speech has impacted understanding of fascia
🔸 Gil’s background in ethics and anatomy
🔸 The journey of discovering the body through Tai Chi
🔸 What it means to be a “Somanaut”
🔸 The role of emotions and consciousness in shaping our physical form
🔸 How cultural differences affect emotional expression and movement
🔸 The physical cost of suppressing emotions and the power of release
🔸 How movement and awareness transform pain and restrictions
🔸 The importance of personal growth in shifting cultural perspectives
Gil Hedley, PhD, is a renowned anatomist, author, and educator who has revolutionized how we view the body. His work bridges science and experience, helping us understand that fascia is more than tissue—it’s a reflection of our lives, emotions, and movements.
