Tasha Turzo, DO, an internationally recognized expert in the integration of osteopathy and functional dentistry, combines three principles of the evolving contemporary Cranial Concept in her book:

– BIOTENSEGRITY | the interconnectivity of the whole body in response to change
– ‘GUMBY’ | the restoration of fascial tissue flexibility
