On October 4, the Healthcare and Advanced Medicine affinity group held its fourth virtual presentation. This affinity group is open to all interested USJC members, including physicians, academics, policymakers, caregivers, patients and those who work to develop medical devices and digital health apps.
USJC Council Leader Miho Urisaka (Orthopedic Movement Physical Therapy) gave a presentation titled “The Body’s Inner Network: Boosting Health and Performance Naturally.” During the session, Miho presented an overview of fascia, or the web that holds everything together in the body, and how it affects the anatomy and aging process. This was followed by a demonstration of exercises to enhance fascia health. The session was moderated by fellow Council Leader Kirk Zeller (Nichibei Medtech Advisors, LLC). Questions from the attendees focused on a discussion around how diet affects fascia, Eastern and Western medicine and the connection between emotional pain and fascia.
