Hello & thank you, Dr. Stickler! Might I recommend that you switch out the JPG for a PDF and add your desired contact information, website, etc., so that people can share it and recipients can know the document's origin and where & how to follow you on social media? Thanks, again - Jonathan
I was just complaining about fascia in my own Substack post (if you really want to know, it’s here:https://csledeboer.substack.com/p/the-world); then, lo and behold, an answer! :)
Really enjoyed this, Dr. Stickler, especially the way you translate fascia from “packing material” into a living interface where mechanical inputs become biologic outputs. The mechanotransduction framing is clinically useful: when people are sedentary (or move in a very narrow band), you can almost watch the system shift toward reduced glide, altered hydration/viscoelasticity, and heightened nociceptive tone, and patients experience that as stiffness, pain, and “my body doesn’t recover like it used to.” “.
One small caution/hope for the future: the bioelectric/photonic language is fascinating and hypothesis-generating, but the field will benefit from pairing it with measurable endpoints (range of motion, pain/function scores, ultrasound elastography, strength/power, recovery metrics) so readers can separate poetry from proof without losing the wonder.
A beautifully written piece but not a new concept. I have known it as the Pfischinger space for sixty years as pointed out to me by a vet when we were dissecting an hyaena. It is a space of instant communication, far faster than the neural network .

Thank you, Dr. Stickler. 🙏🏻
Thank you this resonates completely a much needed reminder!!

Thank you! You gotta put your name on the document since it’s downloadable… people will forget to credit you.
