The Future of Manual Therapy: Pain, Fascia, and the Brain | Feat. Steven Capobianco
In this insightful conversation, Dr. Beau Beard sits down with Dr. Steven Capobianco—clinician, educator, and fascia researcher—to unpack the evolving landscape of manual therapy, pain science, and movement-based care. From the history of trigger points and Travell & Simons to modern fascia research from Stecco, they challenge outdated paradigms and offer a fresh framework for integrating touch, neuroscience, and patient-centered care.
