Tongue to Toe
The Cranial Connection within the Fascial Tissue Network
From the the tongue and muscles of the jaw,
through the middle of the body,
to the arch of the foot…
the tongue is the doorway to the
fascial tissue network.
Tongue to Toe!
A tongue tie can restrict the motion of the entire fascial system, from top to bottom.
Wondering
Are there repercussions
of a dysfunctional swallow
…not only on the width, height,
and depth of the palate
but also on the myofascial continuity
that flows to the feet?

Swallowing, Breathing and Posture
The anterior deep fascial line starts beneath the tongue,
flows to the lungs and pelvic bones and ends up in the arches of the feet.
There is a direct connection between orofacial tongue function, diaphragmatic breathing and posture.
What happens if there is a spinal fusion in the low back (restriction of motion)
with a tongue ‘misbehaving’ (dysfunctional swallow)
i.e…the tongue doesn’t know how to rest or how to find the palate.
What does the tongue have to do with the low back?!
