Anthony Chrisco, is a Founding Member of the Fascia Research Society. He is the President of the Fascianator, LLC. He invented the Fascianator Roller and developed the Fascianator Method of Self-Myofascial Release in 2012. With over thirty years of experience in the health and wellness field, he has been fortunate enough to change thousands of lives all around the world.
When he first started teaching people about the benefits of fascial health, his own peers thought he was crazy! Little did they know that his ideas would be proven right - time and time again! Thanks to the work of the scientists of the Fascia Research Society, Anthony was able to take their research findings and apply them to his clientele.
In 2015, he attended the first Joint Conference on Fascia, Oncology and Acupuncture at Harvard Medical School. Since then, he has lectured at the University of Hawaii in both the Kinesiology and Athletic Training Graduate Progams. In 2018 and 2020 he was invited to Germany to be one of only fifty people in the whole world to participate in the Fascial Net Plastination Project, the first ever fascia focused dissection to be successfully plastinated at the Plastinarium in Guben, Germany.
When he is not working with his clients in Hawaii, he is busy traveling the world teaching the Fascianator Method in Asia and Europe. He has been happily married for 27 years to his wife and co-author of their book, Pain Free Everyday.
