The Cinderella Layer and Fascia Tethers
The Anatomy of Human Appearance and Movement
Seeing through the skin, we discover new attachments or tethers between the skin and the underlying fascia. These tethers define how we look to each other and the grace with which we move. The Cinderella Layer is named for a story of overlooked beauty and intelligence.
