How do we determine true newborn health? After a complete examination, a pediatrician states that your baby is healthy. If we also view your infant in the fascial web context, its unseen restrictions from birth trauma can be causing disease now or in the future.
The fascia originates at fetal day fourteen where it encases and connects every new cell. The web holds the memory of all its emotional and physical birth traumas, but can also heal itself. Let’s look at how major tissues may malfunction in this fascial web.
The Nervous System
Fascial pressure in the head can disturb healthy brain motion and cranial nerve function. Likewise, fascial pressure in the spine and sacrum can adversely affect spinal and pelvic nerve function.
The Bones
The position and motion of the bones after birth trauma is dependent on the freedom of the fascial web. In each individual bone the web also connects every bone cell to allow for communication within that bone.
The Muscles
Since fascia covers every muscle cell of the body, the muscles are dependent on the looseness of the fascial web. Many people are not aware that tight fascia can adversely affect muscle function.
The Organs
The fascial web connects every cell of every organ. If birth trauma restricts liver fascia, will that tightness affect the function of the liver during the lifetime? Similarly, the pancreas, the intestines, and all the other organs?
In a full-body fascial strain, one distant area of the web can pull on another area. Since everything is interconnected, the goal for health would be to help free up the entire fascial web.
If you look at a newborn in the context of a fascial web, a more complete picture emerges around infant health. I want the world to see that concept.
