Anatomy

Individual muscles should be explored for what makes them distinct and extraordinary, in addition to their relationship to the kinematic function of the body.

Lymph relies on muscular contractions to circulate throughout the body, leading one to hypothesize that chronic conditions leading to stiffness and less movement will thereby greatly slow down and inhibit the circulation of lymph in the body.

FR:EIA, the first of her kind, is changing how we look at fascia. Studying FR:EIA’s dynamic fascial system helps us better understand its organization, fluidity, and strength, and offers clinical insights for how we touch and treat as therapists.

The infraspinatus is one of four muscles that make up the rotator cuff and is an essential component for shoulder movements such as pitching and hitting overhead. Imbalances often develop between the powerful internal rotators of the shoulder.

A tilted pelvis that causes a tilted spine can result in a head that is not level; however, the body’s righting reflex, which keeps the head level, will compensate for the tilted pelvis by curving the spine. If we do not address the tilted pelvis, none of our work into the spine itself has any chance of lasting.
