The Facial Web is connected most directly with the nervous system. It also impacts the Deep Visceral Body (where things are stored), the Emotional Body, and the Pain Modulation Pathways. Secondarily, it impacts the other bodies (immune system, mental body, etc.)

Learning something new everyday… More note-taking at a workshop given by Bo Forbes, knowledge-based “erudite” instructor spoken highly by Judith – no wonder she’s won Judith’s endorsement:
- The Facial Web is sentient and intelligent.
- It connects every cell in the body.
- Connective tissue includes the blood and blood cells (really?)
- It has 10 times more never endings than muscle and so is connected to the nervous system. (…)
- Perhaps more important than muscle. (perhaps…)
- Neuro-fascial re-integration is now going to be more important form of body-work than neuro-muscular integration. (!?)
- Fascial resilience influences emotional resilience. (yes)
- Most injuries occur when connective tissue is stretched faster than it can respond. The less it is hydrated, the less elastic response it has. (let’s be mindful in our movement…intention – focus – imagination:)
