The coil, the lateral line and side bending This one got crazy but was a fun exploration both illustrating and feeling in the body. Try this: -take a deep breath, check in with your body, really try to squeeze that exhale out and fully fill your inhale in -then, side bend to one side, really close and clamp that side crunch down on one side and take several deep breaths from there -repeat on other side -go back to your central / neutral breath, check back in. What’s different? I still feel breath and breathing is one of the most under utilized tools and technologies of the human body. We’re working on that. Remember, one conscious breath is a meditation. #ribs #ribmovement #lateralline #breath #breathing #breathoflife #diaphragm #asymmetrical #symmetrical #adaptablepolarity #Spiral #coil #Anatomy #anatomyart #anatomystudy #humananatomy #spiraling #coilingcore #coilingcoretraining #coiling #doublehelix #dna https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzTDkzvbC6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The spiral is dead. It’s a coil. (And I love love love spirals) Looking at spinal coupling images last night and Fryette’s Laws, and I just couldn’t find an image that I thought I was looking for, and then, I stumbled on the little background image with green arrows… “Oh who put this together?” None other than @thedavidweck so all credit to him on that image. I’ve been seeing something in movement and locomotion that hasn’t fully downloaded into words yet. The basics are spinal mechanics and Fryette’s laws. The importance of this coil and what it does for your spine. The evolution of the spine and the movements that are necessary and vital for it. When we side bend from neutral, there’s a rotation to the opposite side. When we side bend from flexed or extended state, rotation is same side. If there is a lack in one plane, all directions suffer. Why have we lost the coil? Why does lateral flexion initiate the coil so well? And what does the coil do on a deeper, intrinsic and energetic level? If love lights up DNA, what about movements? I don’t know how I sleep! #somanyquestions #spinalcoupling #coupledmotion #lateralline #theweckmethod #rotationalmovement #coiling #humancoil #fascialtraining #fascialfitness #fascial #fascia #myofascial #myofascia #myofascialmeridians #myofascialmassage #Movement #meridians #movementismedicine #movementislife #movementistherapy #adaptablepolarity https://www.instagram.com/p/CmehZxAJvRx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Your lateral line: muscles, myofascia, and meridians What came first? Chicken or the egg? Well, in terms of vertebrates patterns “spinal yield & push” is the first vertebrate pattern. We either initiate this movement from the head or the tail to produce movement from our poles. Initiating from the head sends us tailward, and initiating from the tail sends us headward. This is represented by fish, as previously discussed in other posts, but also seen in humans by the fetus yielding and pushing the body against the wall of the uterus and by newborns initiating movement to briefly lift their head like in search for the nipple. It is the both, of course, tail to head and head to tail that balance each other and provide cohesiveness through the central axis.

Lateral line: first to develop, first to devolve?? In the beginning, there was no gravity. We were suspended in fluid. We then emerged into this world, and began to set foot upon the earth, balance and move ourselves through time and space. I’m still exploring this lateral line of fascia and it’s energetic connections. The number one and two physical complaints are neck and low back pain. Take a look at the highlighted points of this line. (I just pulled from the neck to hip and didn’t get into head and lower limbs.) If this coil is missing, what happens? Gallbladder (GB) points: -GB21 activate channel, alleviates pain -GB23 opens chest -GB25 strengthens lumbar, treats back and hip pain -GB26 activates channel and alleviates pain -GB29 activates channel and alleviates pain, benefits hip -GB30 activates channel and alleviates pain, benefits leg #lateralline #gallbladdermeridian #gallbladderchannel #meridiansystem #meridians #myofascialmeridians #myofascialmovement #fascialfitness #fascialtraining #fascial #fascia #Humancoil #adaptablepolarity #weckmethod https://www.instagram.com/p/CmXG_IHPWxg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Color me green, currently focused on the lateral line! (Gallbladder is classically connected to green) These angular lines fascinates me from the Gallbladder meridian Think we’ll see more when I explore the bilateral look of the two and coil creation, but in the mean time… I love these lines of intent. They triangulate in a way that’s highlighting of the hip and the shoulder and movement forward into space. (Didn’t even try to explore the cranial component today🫣) #gallbladdermeridian #lateralline #laterallines #fascialtraining #fascialfitness #fascialmovement #fáscia #fasciatraining #fascia #myofascialtherapy #myofascial #energeticanatomy #movement #movementismedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CmPKu3WPAnl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Toe connections: gallbladder (GB) and liver (LV) Yesterday, we explored kidney and urinary bladder (included in todays slide). Today, I combined the myofascia and meridians of the GB and LV channels. The comparison begins to enlighten a few ideas, but I will wait until tomorrow when we do Stomach and Spleen. What’s worth noting here is the yin and Yang aspects of the foot. In fact, I feel like the fourth toe really gets forgotten (for that I’d add the third toe also since “knee over second toe,” and big toe fascinations are rather commonplace). Anyhow, if yin is receptive and yang is active, how can you play with your foot and balance and gait between these two lines??? Added hint: think fibularis muscles for fourth toe and #lateralline and extensor Hallucis Longus foot big toe and #deepfrontline of #fascia #feettraining #foottraining #humanarchitecture #yinyang #gallbladdermeridian #livermeridian #gaitanalysis #bigtoe #fourthtoe #footbalance #balance #meridians #myofascia #fascial #myofascial #adaptablepolarity #feetmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/ClobqHcp2Yz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Gallbladder detail and the lateral fascia of the cranium. Added in the paired Triple Warmer channel that runs from fourth finger to edge of eyebrow. What’s going on here? So many zigs and zags! Almost looks like an antenna spiraling 🌀 around your ear. It also connects eyes and ears which are of course intimately linked. What happens when we anterior tilt the cranium and still look to the horizon? And it’s polar opposite posterior tilt? Andrew Huberman discusses focus with narrow and expansive related to sympathetic and parasympathetic. So many thoughts on this, simply digesting.

Movement, Muscles & Meridians Gallbladder/Lateral line series completion. I will compile over the weekend. I took some liberty to the lateral line as I saw it as incomplete when mapped with the gallbladder channel. Fascia is continuous and flows in all the planes or dimensions of space. That being said, seeing the lateral line end while the gallbladder did an entire jig around the lateral aspect of the cranium felt like an addition was needed. Movement: lateral neck flexion Muscles: sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis (the two from #anatomytrains), *occipitofrontalis and temporalis additional lateral line muscles Meridians: lateral line fascia, Gallbladder channel in Chinese medicine #gallbladderchannel #gallbladdermeridian #laterallinefascia #lateralline #muscles #meridians #myofascialmeridians #myofascial #fascia #fascial #movement #movementismedicine #bodymechanics #itsallconnected #adaptablepolarity https://www.instagram.com/p/CfNtIW2rHOR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
