The dural tube is a big deal as well as tongue ties and can affect digestion, etc. some nuggets of insight here…

From birth, your tongue is actually connected to your toes through an intricate network of connective tissue known as fascia.

If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth due to mouth breathing, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.

Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.

Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

For better core support and spinal, hip, and leg strength, you need to work on your tongue posture!

Try these swallowing exercises:
1.  Extend your tongue to the bumpy part on the top of your mouth right behind your teeth.
2. Then curl your tongue toward the back of your mouth as far as possible.
3. Hold for a few seconds.
4. Repeat five times.

The plantar fascia/arches ✔️
⬇️
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common forms of foot pain. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot, originating at the heel (where pain is most commonly felt).
🦶 The plantar fascia helps support the arch of the foot. Although it plays an important role in foot function, it can be overloaded over time. Plantar fasciitis is essentially tissue overload causing pain at the site of attachment (the heel).
⬇️
The plantar fascia doesn’t work in isolation. Although it plays a big role in supporting the arch, there are many other players in the arch support system that must be taken into account:
• The intrinsic muscles of the foot.
• The lower leg musculature, which attaches into the foot/ankle and helps support the arch and create a rigid lever.
• The hip, which is a huge factor in foot function and control of the arch downstream via the torque and stability it creates for everything below it.
⬇️
All of these elements are necessary for functional feet/arches. Getting to the root of plantar fasciitis often involves strengthening these other ‘arch support’ tissues and building better overall stability.
⬇️
The feet are loaded with muscle. Clinically, foot strength is often lacking in those with plantar fasciitis, and this is one of the potential reasons it is getting overloaded. Part of any treatment should be to gradually build up strong, robust feet that are capable of handling repetitive load.
