This is pretty exciting stuff in the world of anatomy & medicine.

It also may help explain some Eastern and more metaphysical medicinal practices like acupuncture, cupping, rekei and other things.

It's actually kind of dated. What it refers to is often referred to as fascia and the extra-cellular matrix and it's importance has been known for about a decade. I'm a med / anatomy nerd 
. Prior to that, fascia was viewed and nothing terribly important, just a covering to stop friction, but a lot of research has been done and it's now known that it interacts with the nervous system and is heavily involved with proprioception. It's also involved in endocrine / neuroendocrine function and the lymphoid system among other things and there is still much more to learn. It really is fascinating stuff.
