The story of Alexandre MUNZ

is that of an extraordinary renaissance.

Alexandre MUNZ formation fascia thérapie
{
My dance training began at a time when the strict notions of symmetry and hyper-verticality prevailed. At the age of 30, my internal systems began to run out of steam, until they suffocated. An intuition that everyone found crazy, however, pushed me to reject the surgical solutions that were presented to me as the only solution. I searched in what I knew best, movement. My first hypothesis was the right one, the results were flamboyant. My lab body was discovering muscle layers, circulations of forces, self-regenerative powers and mental states that I was not aware of before. My « raison d’être » is to transmit these phenomenal resources to as many people as possible, because regardless of age and level, these wonders are ingrained in each of us.

Maison Munz

Our story

Alexandre MUNZ has performed the main roles of many classical, neo-classical and contemporary choreographic works. Herniated discs, aggravating osteoarthritis, recurrent ophthalmic migraines, at the age of 30, surgeons are unanimous: spine surgery is inevitable.

Alexandre’s intuition finally spoke louder than the diagnoses: he rejected the surgical solution and created sequences of rotatory micro-movements, dynamic movements carried out in extreme slowness. The results were flamboyant: 15 years of chronic pain completely vanished in 3 days.

The self-regeneration was so powerful, Alexandre MUNZ embarked on an uninterrupted research that earned him many awards and honors at the highest level of French and American national institutes.

Did you know ?

It was only in 2018 that fascia were recognized as the 80th organ of the human body. The discoveries on fascia have indeed revolutionized the Western scientific world, the greatest experts speak of a unique mutation in the history of humanity.

The fascia system is an organ with no beginning and no end. These connective tissues are everywhere, “from our fibers to our cells, we bathe in an ocean of fascia,” explains Alexandre MUNZ. Their viscous and aqueous texture makes it a deeply transformable organ, but their immense quality is also their biggest flaw, they stick easily, dry out, they are then the source of important performance and health problems.

Alexandre MUNZ’s works are essential rituals for thousands of people around the world; add 15 minutes of MUNZ FLOOR® or MUNZ BARRE® to your daily life, you will feel immediate intramuscular transformations. Your fibers will gain anti-inflammatory hydration and elasticity, with a clear feeling of reconnection to oneself. Indeed, fascia are the system that interconnects all systems, nervous, immune, hormonal, lymphatic, visceral… Without fascia, nothing would function, there would be no life possible.
