Why Stretching Is So Important

Many of my regular clients will have had to listen to me talking about their Candy Floss or as Gil Hedley calls it in this amazing video The Fuzz.

Whether you refer to it as candy floss or fuzz, this stuff is really important. The connective tissue or fascia of the body is what keeps our bones and muscles moving smoothly around each other.

Anyway, I'm going to hand you over now to Gil Hedley who does are far better job than I could of explaining (and showing) what that candy floss or fuzz is and why it is so important to keep it fluffy.

WARNING: This video contains footage of fresh human cadavers (corpses) so if you are at all squeamish I advise you not to watch it.
