🌀 Did you know your organs can pull your body out of alignment? 🌀

It’s not just muscles and joints that impact posture—your organs play a role too!

When organs are inflamed, sluggish, or under stress, they can create tension through fascial connections, affecting the way you move and feel.
💡 Constipation? It can tilt your pelvis.
💡 Liver congestion? It may limit your breathing.
💡 Uterine tension? It might cause back or hip discomfort.

Everything is connected—your body works as a whole system.

👣 That nagging back or hip pain? It might not be just muscular.
Ask us how a whole-body approach can help restore balance from the inside out!

🧠 TRIGEMINAL NERVE PATHWAY – Explained Simply
(📍Cranial Nerve V – CN V)

The Trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve and has 3 main branches—like a tree of sensation and motion for your face! 🌳✨

🔹 V1 – Ophthalmic (Sensory)
👁️ Forehead, eyes, nose bridge

🔹 V2 – Maxillary (Sensory)
👃 Cheeks, upper lip, upper teeth

🔹 V3 – Mandibular (Sensory & Motor)
👂 Lower jaw, lower teeth, chin and muscles for chewing (like the masseter 💪)

🧬 Pathway Highlights:
• Originates from the pons of the brainstem
• Sensory fibers go to the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion
• Then branch into V1, V2, V3
• Motor fibers bypass the ganglion → go directly to muscles of mastication

🧠 It’s all about feeling the face & making it move!

💡 Fun Fact: It’s the nerve involved in brain freeze and trigeminal neuralgia (an intense facial pain condition).

🛑 NOT your average toothache or migraine.
It’s often misdiagnosed, so awareness matters!

The re**um lies directly in front of the sacrum in the lower pelvis. It follows the natural curve of the sacrum, often described as the “sacral curve,” which helps support the re**um and guide the movement of stool.

The fascia (connective tissue) surrounding the re**um is connected to the presacral fascia and sacral fascia, which link it to the sacrum.
Ligaments such as the sacrogenital and sacral fascia attachments help stabilize the re**um to the bony pelvis.

The sacrum houses part of the sacral plexus, a network of nerves that includes the pelvic splanchnic nerves, which control re**al function (e.g., bowel movements, re**al tone, and sensation).
Any dysfunction in the sacrum (misalignment, tension, trauma) can potentially impact re**al function through these neural pathways.

In manual osteopathy, visceral manipulation, or craniosacral therapy, therapists often consider the sacrum-re**um connection, especially when treating constipation, pelvic pain, or tailbone/sacral discomfort.
Releasing restrictions in the sacral area can sometimes help improve re**al function or alleviate tension.

The hypoglossal nerve is a motor nerve that controls tongue movement and some neck muscles. It’s the 12th cranial nerve (CN XII) and originates at the base of the brain.

Hypoglossal nerve dysfunction is directly related to sleep apnea, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

When the hypoglossal nerve is dysfunctional, the genioglossus muscle weakens, causing the tongue to fall back into the throat during sleep, obstructing airflow and leading to apneic episodes.

Mental processes and their neural substrates are intimately linked to the homeostatic control on internal bodily state. There are a set of distinct interoceptive pathways that directly and indirectly influence brain functions. The anatomical organization of these pathways and the psychological/behavioral expressions of their influence appear along discrete, evolutionarily conserved dimensions that are tractable to a mechanistic understanding. Here, we review the role of these pathways as sources of biases to perception, cognition, emotion, and behavior and arguably the dynamic basis to the concept of self.

Did an initial treatment for a client with curvature in her spine, causing great pain and tension in her back, starting with Manual Osteopathic Treatment then Vascular Release and finishing with Rapid Neurofasical Reset has given her relief and more range of motion after the treatment.
These before and after photos show how it’s corrected her spine after only one treatment.

Dorsal Scapular Nerve is the branch of brachial plexus, arising from ventral ramus of C5 root. It is a motor nerve which arising from C5 root, pierce the middle scalene muscle, coursing deep to and supplying levator scapulae and the rhomboid muscles.

Entrapment of the dorsal scapular nerve is an under-recognized cause of neck, upper back, and scapular pain. Symptoms are often similar to other conditions and can be mistaken for rib pain, cervical disc herniation, or shoulder pathology.

Typically, a person will complain of pain down the inside border of the scapula on one side, pain across the shoulder blades, lower neck, shoulder, and/or arm pain. It often feels like burning, sharp, stabbing, shooting, or knife-like pain and may feel like it’s actually underneath the shoulder blade.

Do you have any symptoms that listed above? Book a Neurovascular Release treatment with me, it can help with dorsal scapular nerve entrapment.
