The Tongue, the Swallow and the Hands
Osteopathic and Orthodontic Perspectives in the NOW:
Dialogue or Denial?
Embark into differences in
anatomical functionality
and orientation
… and the impact in medical understanding and treatment.
Venture into controversy:
“Is there no motion or
is there subtle motion
between the sutures”?
Mewing and Beyond
The Cranial Connection
…and Tongue to Toe
with the Swallow within the fascial network of the body.

Current Principles
Three principles in the evolving contemporary Cranial Concept
as outlined by Tasha Turzo, DO, cranial osteopath
specializing in orofacial development.
– Gumby Awareness –
Fascial Flexibility
– The Cornstarch Effect –
Touch, Tissue and Thixotropy
– Tensegrity and Biotensegrity –
Tension and Compression
Tensegrity and Biotensegrity
TENSEGRITY
“The integrity of an entire structure
is based on its tensional capacity
for continuous movement and balance
between all the elements.”
BIOTENSEGRITY
“The body exists in a delicate balance
of tensile and compressive forces
that hold all our
physical structures in balance.”
Tasha Turzo, DO | The ALF Approach
The Orofacial-Pelvic Connection
PAIRED BONES
Interconnectivity
in Motion and Balance
– Two Temporomandibular Joints in the skull
– Two Sacroiliac Joints
in the pelvis
Discover the debilitating effects than can occur
when one of these joints
is not balanced or is restricted
with a dental appliance
and a spinal fusion.
StoryTelling
How to initiate a
“A Perfect Storm”
in the world of the
Cranial Osteopath.
The Glymphatic System Meets the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse
WHAT IS THE GLYMPHATIC SYSTEM?
“…to answer fundamental questions about this system…
we will need fresh perspectives, new techniques,
and collaborations across disciplines…”
WHAT IS THE CRANIAL RHYTHMIC IMPULSE (CRI)?
Are the unidentified ‘pulsations’ and ‘oscillations’
observed in current glymphatic research confirmation of
William Garner Sutherland’s 1899 ‘aha’ observation in medical school?
Will there be “collaboration across disciplines”?
Is Cranial Osteopathy
the “fresh perspective”?
The Cornstarch Effect
What happens when you mix cornstarch and water?
And what does this have to do with
Osteopathy In the Cranial Field?
Thixotropy, Tissue and Touch
Discover how osteopathic hands with palpatory skills have a ‘thixotropic’ effect with your body!
Prelude for the Patient
Osteopathic thought has always placed
the efficiency of the living body
at the center of its philosophical framework.
…”The PATIENT who has the disease,
and not the disease which has the patient.”
Beryl Arbuckle, 1977
