A new out-of-state baby presented today with the usual fussiness issues: nursing, reflux, hiccups, panting, gas, constipation, colic, and restlessness. He had a zero-second brain cycle and a tight fascial web corresponding to the above conditions.
Even though he spent most of his early months crying, his local pediatrician could not find any pathology. Mom went to the specialist who looked her in the eye and told her that her baby was perfectly healthy. But mom knew something was wrong. He was tight.
He started to loosen after the first session and during the break had his first bowel movement in three days. He responded well in the second session where his brain cycle opened to 90 seconds and his fascial web was much more relaxed. It was a great first visit.
"I know of no part of the body that equals the fascia as a hunting ground. All nerves go to and terminate in that great system, the fascia. By its action we live and by its failure we die. The soul of man, with all the streams of pure living water, seems to dwell in the fascia of his body."
