A Conversation with John Sharkey: Letter to a Young Anatomist

Join Michael King as he chats with Clinical Anatomist John Sharkey and offers John the chance to write a letter to a younger version of himself. John is a recognised authority in the world of fascia science and it will be fascinating to discuss with John what he would tell a younger version of himself knowing what he knows today concerning fascia and human movement.
