Blew my mind. I listened to it one eve during #myofascialrelease class and it was pretty inspiring to be exploring fascial work and the body's amazing-ness with students and then get this knowledge drop. She references so much cool stuff about the body - including #microtubules!

A #craniosacraltherapy case study and learning how to trust our work and our approaches to centering the body as the teacher! #anatomyonline #jaw

Entering the Temple of the Jaw | Moving Mountain Institute

When in doubt, check the jaw. In our mapping of the craniosacral system, I place utmost importance on treating the jaw. While not directly part of the CS system, the jaw may be the place where the mos...

This! And this is why we talk about how Craniosacral Therapy can support complex systems, without trying to "solve" things. The more we can understand what people might be working with, the better we can serve their systems and integration.

The Ehlers-Danlos Society @ehlersdanlos.bsky.social · May 9

🌟 Did you know there are many types of #EhlersDanlossyndrome (EDS) and #hypermobilityspectrumdisorder (HSD), each with their own distinct signs and symptoms?

This image is a medical information graphic focusing on signs and symptoms of vEDS (Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and its effect on the cardiovascular system. The layout is divided into three main sections:

1. **Left Sidebar:** A vertical menu lists different body systems or areas affected by vEDS, including:
- Cardiovascular (highlighted in blue)
- Chest and Lungs
- Gastrointestinal
- Skin
- Musculoskeletal
- Eyes
- Mouth and Throat
- Feet
- Pregnancy

2. **Center:** A human body diagram shows the cardiovascular system in red (arteries) and blue (veins). Major arteries are clearly illustrated, emphasizing the vascular network throughout the body.

3. **Right Panel:** Informational text under the cardiovascular section details symptoms related to the cardiovascular system:
- **Arterial aneurysm** (not expanded)
- **Arterial dissection** (expanded): Describes arterial dissection as a tear in the artery wall, which separates its layers, leading to potential life-threatening leakage. Specific mention is made of "aortic dissection" as a severe condition.
- ⚠️ A warning note highlights that arterial dissection can be life-threatening and requires emergency medical treatment.
- **Arterial rupture** and **Early onset varicose veins** are collapsed options.

The overall design uses clean lines, bold headings, and color coding to emphasize the cardiovascular system, with blue and red highlighting veins and arteries.
