CFT - aging - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

BBS/CFT/IDM and Aging

Since I am approaching 70, I have a personal thought: We usually focus on diseases in this group. But let’s consider the aging process. What if aging has something to do with all structural tissue becoming very slightly tighter with each trauma after conception. Over a lifetime that tightness probably would create poorer physiology and more toxicity in the body. This concept makes sense because as people age in our culture, they tend to loose flexibility, develop arthritis, and need canes, walkers, etc. What if newborns had CFT at birth and CFT thru their entire lives? What if a 90-year-old had a very loose body? I know that I am biased, but a lifetime of CFT could be a key piece of the aging puzzle.
