05. Why are we thinking about the body the way we do?
A living body is not the same thing as a dead body… but we pretend they are when we study anatomy. Our entire understanding of the body is based on studies of dead bodies, dissected bodies, and bodies treated as objects. But is your body really an object? Is the body something you have or is it in fact something you are? Why are we thinking like this - and have we always been thinking like this? The Fascia Guide is a podcast about the living body, about new research and a new perspective on health, pain and what it means to be alive. In this episode you will hear Hans Bohlin, innovator and fascia expert, Per Johansson, doctor of human ecology and historian of science and ideas, and Axel Bohlin, founder & editor of The Fascia Guide.
