About the Author
Amy Mayer OTD, OTR/L, RYT has dedicated her life’s work to a fascia-focused approach to care that helps patients reduce, manage, and eliminate pain. After discovering the transformative impact of fascia-informed treatment, she began teaching students and practitioners to see the body as a connected, adaptive system — shaped by movement, emotion, and experience — so they too can experience the joy of helping patients achieve their goals.

Other Book Resources I Love
If you want to learn the science on your own, these are resources I have gone to over and over.

Science (Slightly) Simplified
This book offers a slightly more simplified look at fascia science.
Thought Expanding
This book heavily influenced my thinking about posture and movement when I first read it in 2017.
Scar Science and Technique
I gave this book a try since the forward was written by Robert Schleip, a very well-respected author and fascia scientist. It is worth the read if you work with scars.
Dense Fascia Science
This is a DEEP dive into the science. The book has a few chapters on application, but it is very much the science behind them and not the “how to”.
Science and “How To”
This book is also quite science dense but gives another perspective on myofascial techniques from outside the U.S. The book is loaded with pictures and “how to” information.
Science and Application
The first edition of this book was my first deep reading about fascia science. Myers is a wonderful educator.
