Brain-NS Continuity: “This is your brain. No, not just the yellow bulbous mass at the top of the image, but all of the tendrils that reach down and out to the very extremities of your body. It cannot be separated, but it can be forgotten and abused.

Exercise your brain by moving your body, move your brain by exercising your body.”

Fascial Counterstrain clears the inflammation from the interstitial spaces!

Interstitial Spaces: Continuity of Interstitial Spaces Within and Outside The Human Lung 🫁

“There is a body-wide network of interstitial spaces that includes three components: a large-scale fascial network made up of fluid-filled spaces containing collagens and other extracellular matrix components like hyaluronic acid (HA), the peri-vascular/capillary interstitium, and intercellular interstitial spaces.”

But will doctors embrace the grainier, lower-resolution images of the body’s insides?

STRESS

Stress is a silent killer. It is often ignored when it comes to health!

Stress comes in many forms. We live in a world where we are constantly connected to technology, where things move fast, where everyone is always 'too busy' and always on the go. We live in a world that our human bodies and nervous systems are not designed for...so stress is at an all time high.

▪️Stress affects many systems. It is the root cause of a lot of the issues I see in the clinic. It's negative effects are massive, and often ignored or brushed over. The way it affects the nervous system makes it one of the leading causes of overall dysfunction, pain, and disease these days (from mental health to MSK to digestive issues and beyond).
▪️It is important to prioritize your health, and with that comes stress reduction methods, on a consistent and regular basis:
🔑 deep breathing
🔑 meditation
🔑 being present
🔑 float tanks
🔑 getting out in nature
🔑 spending time away from technology
🔑 prioritizing relationships and human interaction
🔑 moving more, sleeping better
🔑 playing, having fun, enjoying things daily
