Power Over Pain: New Book Brings the Emerging Science of Fascia Fitness to a Mainstream Audience

AUSTIN, Texas — Fascia is the connective tissue that supports and connects every muscle, organ, and system in the body, and it touches almost every aspect of health and performance. Yet most people have never heard of it. A new book aims to change that. Power Over Pain: Why Fascia Fitness Is the Key to Strength, Recovery, and Longevity, by movement specialist Sytera Field, is the first book to bring this frontier of health and performance to a mainstream audience.

Researchers, physicians, movement specialists, and athletes increasingly recognize the role fascia plays in mobility, recovery, stress regulation, athletic performance, and healthy aging. Until now, that conversation has largely been confined to research journals and yoga studios. Power Over Pain makes the science accessible and actionable, introducing fascia fitness as a practical approach to improve how people move, feel, recover, and age.

Field has spent 25 years working with fascia, helping professional athletes, executives, healthcare practitioners, and people simply looking for relief from chronic pain, stress, stiffness, or physical limitations. Her aim reaches beyond helping people feel better. She helps them understand their own bodies and become active participants in their own health and well-being.

Power Over Pain is distributed by Simon & Schuster and is available for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

EARLY PRAISE FOR POWER OVER PAIN

“Real health is not about managing symptoms; it’s about learning how to create the conditions for the body, mind, and spirit to thrive. What I love about Sytera’s work is that she empowers people to be active participants in their own health and well-being, reconnecting them to the innate intelligence of the body through movement, awareness, and taking care of their fascia. Power over Pain is ultimately about something much bigger than pain relief; it’s a call to action to reclaim your vitality, resilience, and a deeper relationship with yourself.”

— John Mackey, co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market

“We spend a lot of time talking about muscles, metabolism, and longevity, but there’s another critical piece of the equation that often gets overlooked: fascia. In Power Over Pain, Sytera Field reveals how this remarkable connective tissue system influences how you move, recover, perform, and feel every day. Through a blend of fascia science, nervous system regulation, biomechanics, and practical strategies, she provides a roadmap for reducing pain, improving resilience, and supporting a stronger, more vibrant future. If your goal is to age powerfully, not just gracefully, this book deserves a place on your shelf.”

— JJ Virgin, triple-board-certified nutrition expert and four-time New York Times bestselling author

“This book touches something that is too often ignored: the human element. It’s a bold, personal examination of how we both perceive and deal with pain, and a push to rewire our bodies and minds around what’s discussed as inevitability. Sytera leads by example; step into a world where healing does not mean symptom mitigation, rather addressing the root causes of suffering. The longevity field has much to learn, but the pursuit of a longer, healthier life is something which unites all our work. Sytera made sure not to forget accessibility, because health and healing are a right for all humankind, not a privilege for the few.”

— Joshua Herring, president and CEO of the Longevity Science Foundation

“As head team orthopedic surgeon for the Washington Commanders, I see firsthand the critical role fascia plays in athletic performance. Sytera’s approach to fascia fitness is cutting-edge and essential for anyone looking to elevate their game.”

— Christopher Annunziata, MD, FAAOS

“Sytera’s expertise in fascia work has been transformative in my own health journey. Her innovative approach shines a much-needed light on this essential aspect of wellness which provides me a level of pain relief, mobility, and flexibility I hadn’t thought possible.”

— Rita Roy, MD, CEO of the National Spine Health Foundation

“Sytera’s approach to fascia fitness quickly stood out as one of those rare innovations that has the potential to redefine how we think about the body and its capacity for healing and performance.”

— Dr. Hirad NajafBagy, team chiropractor, Washington Commanders, Washington Nationals, Washington Capitals, and D.C. United
