Learn more from Tom Myers about the deep front line of fascia that connects us from our tongue to our toes!

Much surprised to be able to see the front line of fascia dissected. I have read about it and seen drawings but this is amazing. What a wonderful job you have accomplished!

Great Job Todd

I am amazed that the Fascia connects all the way to the tongue! I will be practicing Oral Myology or MFT soon Thanks to Sarah Hornsby's program / in USA. I wonder how long it took to do this?

But, How does releasing toung tie (fascia) helps with neck stiffness & jaw pain?

[@TheBreatheInstitute]

thanks for the question, basically, the tongue is used to perform many daily functions (speaking, swallowing, eating etc, and when it is restricted, the body will often over-use other muscles to compensate for the lack of mobility in the tongue. this over-use can result in the neck and shoulder tension/pain etc you are asking about. So by releasing the fascia and/or mucosa/tethered oral tissues, the tongue is able to function optimally, and thus not require the overcompensation of the other muscles. Hope that helps. Our youtube channel has tons of great open access lectures to explore if you are curious!
