http://www.somatics.de/en
Robert Schleip (*1954 in Göppingen) is a human biologist and psychologist. His area of expertise is fascia research. He graduated from the University of Heidelberg in 1980 with a degree in psychology. 1977-1983 he trained as a Certified-Advanced-Rolfer and 1984-1987 as a Feldenkrais teacher.
In 2006 he received his doctorate in human biology from the University of Ulm. His doctoral thesis on active fascial contractility was awarded with the Vladimir Janda Prize for Musculoskeletal Medicine.
Schleip was co-initiator of the first International Fascia Congress 2007 at the Harvard Medical School in Boston (1st Fascia Research Congress), which marked the breakthrough for modern fascia research, as well as the subsequent congresses. He was a member of the scientific committee at all events in this series.
Schleip has been Director of the Fascia Research Group, Division of Neurophysiology at the University of Ulm since 2008.
Schleip has been the organizer the organizer of the event “CONNECT – Connective Tissues in Sports Medicine” in 2013 and 2017 together with the sports physician Prof. Jürgen Steinacker.
He is also Executive Research Director of the European Rolfing Association,
Vice President of the Ida P. Rolf Research Foundation, and Board Member of the Fascia Research Society.
As a lecturer he teaches in physiotherapy, orthopaedics and training science. He is the author and publisher of specialist publications on the subject of “Fascia” and is present in the media on this subject.

SUmmary of ONE BOOK AN AMAZON LINK:
“Fascia in Sport and Movement”
Robert Schleip’s long-awaited summary of the affect of various forms of training on the fascial network – is now an essential book at Anatomy Trains. Robert’s global point-of-view organizes the information with contributions from yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonic, dance, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and sports folks into fascial elasticity, hypermobility, strengthening, stretching, and hydration. And yes, a chapter from Tom on the Anatomy Trains applied to sport.
The latest research coupled with practical application – no matter what your movement modality, this book will advance your understanding.
The book covers most current research and theory to underpin practice. It provides relevant clinical applications for sport and movement, and gives the manual therapist information on how different activities influence the body and the kind of injuries that might occur. The book upgrades the knowledge of the sport professional, yoga teacher and Pilates trainer with the necessary background to understand the injuries that might present and how to assess and refer.

http://podbay.fm/show/210064273/e/1198130400
#15 Books and Ideas Podcast is an interview with Dr. Robert Schleip of the University of Ulm, Germany. We discuss recent discoveries about fascia-a key element of connective tissue, which is involved in wound-healing and chronic pain. Dr. Schleip also shares his personal experience in moving from his role as a practitioner of rolfing to doing basic science research.

Fascial plasticity–a new neurobiological explanation: Part 1
R Schleip – Journal of Bodywork and movement therapies, 2003 – Elsevier
In myofascial manipulation an immediate tissue release is often felt under the working hand.
This amazing feature has traditionally been attributed to mechanical properties of the
connective tissue. Yet studies have shown that either much stronger forces or longer …

Active fascial contractility: fascia may be able to contract in a smooth muscle-like manner and thereby influence musculoskeletal dynamics
R Schleip, W Klingler, F Lehmann-Horn – Medical hypotheses, 2005 – Elsevier
Dense connective tissue sheets, commonly known as fascia, play an important role as force
transmitters in human posture and movement regulation. Fascia is usually seen as having a
passive role, transmitting mechanical tension which is generated by muscle activity or …

Fascial plasticity–a new neurobiological explanation Part 2
R Schleip – Journal of Bodywork and movement therapies, 2003 – Elsevier
Part 1 of this two part article showed that immediate fascial responsiveness to manipulation
cannot be explained by its mechanical properties alone. Fascia is densely innervated by
mechanoreceptors which are responsive to myofascial manipulation. They are intimately …
