The speaker (James Laughlin) explains that fascia — the connective tissue surrounding every cell and organ — functions as a network that helps deliver hydration throughout the body. Movement (joint motion, bobbing the head, twisting) acts like a hydraulic pump, moving fluid through fascia and the spinal canal to lubricate joints and hydrate tissues, including fluid moving into the brain.
Once again, we started a trend. I believe we started the trend. I mean, it's been coming around, but. So it turns out that fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds every cell, every organ in our body. It's the network of this connective tissue that surrounds everything. And it turns out that fascia is a delivery system of hydration to our whole body. So the idea that you have to move your joints to lubricate them, we've always maybe kind of heard and known. Well, now we really understand why. Because when you're doing this, you're moving fluid to your peripher. When you're bobbing your head, you're moving fluid up your spinal canal into your brain and back down. When you're twisting, you're twisting it up your spinal canal. So it turns out that fascia and movement acts as a hydraulic pump.
