Fascia—A Semiconductor or a Superconductor?

Rethinking Fascia's Role In Energy Transmission

For years, I’ve described fascia as a neuroelectrochemical super-conducting highway—a seamless, interconnected matrix that facilitates movement and communication.

But after two different Anatomical Gangster Podcasts—one conversation with Carol Davis and John Barnes on Fascial Unwinding, and another with Elizabeth Dare Andes on Plasma Consciousness—another perspective emerged: Fascia as a semiconductor.

So, which is it?

To answer that, let’s step into the world of electrical conductivity.

Superconductors vs. Semiconductors: What’s the Difference?

Think of it like this:

• Superconductors are the speed demons of electrical flow. They eliminate resistance entirely and allow unimpeded energy flow when cooled below a critical temperature.
  

• Semiconductors are the strategic gatekeepers. They regulate electricity in a precise and programmable way, adjusting flow based on environmental factors like impurities or external stimulation.
  

If we translate this to fascia, it appears to exhibit characteristics of both—but it doesn’t fit neatly into either category.

Fascia’s Dual Identity

• Superconductor-like qualities: Fascia acts as a bioelectric communication network, transmitting energy efficiently when hydrated and functioning optimally.
  

• Semiconductor-like modulation: Fascia adjusts its conductivity based on hydration, tension, and mechanical stress or compression. When restricted or dehydrated, it impedes energy flow—similar to a semiconductor with structural resistors.
  

Jim Oschman’s insight in Energy Medicine supports this. He describes pure water and air as superconductors, since electrons move freely without interference. In fascia, however, the dense matrix pushes electrons off their straight route—meaning it behaves more like a semiconductor.

Fascia’s conductivity is such an untapped frontier, especially when we bring in hydration and electromagnetic influences.

The Role of Hydration, Vibration & EMFs

If fascia behaves as a semiconductor, then optimizing its hydration could improve its ability to conduct bioelectric signals. Water molecules in the extracellular matrix may facilitate electron flow, but when fascia becomes dehydrated or densified, it disrupts this conductivity—kind of like a clogged circuit.

Then there’s electromagnetic fields, particularly in techniques like FAR infrared therapy and vibration therapy. These might enhance fascia’s ability to process energy efficiently, potentially shifting its conductivity closer to that of a superconductive state.

40Hz vibration, for example, has been tied to neuroplasticity and lymphatic flow, and it could have profound effects on how fascia transmits information throughout the body.

Where It’s All Headed

Imagine combining hydration techniques like MELT, infrared therapy, and resonance vibration—this could be fascia optimization at its highest level. This redefines how we approach fascia health and movement therapies.

Could optimizing its hydration and stimulation push it closer to a superconductive state?

Now that I’m thinking of it on both levels, I think there’s more to this idea I’ll have to ponder for another blog.

Stay tuned—next, we’ll explore how piezoelectricity, hydration, and electromagnetic influences affect fascia conductivity and healing.
