Did you know there is a connection from the sole of your foot to your eyebrow ridge?

The connection is called the “superficial back line” and is made of fascia, also referred to a fascial chain. This is just one of the fascial chains that exist across our body..

This is just one example of how deeply interconnected different parts of our body truely are.
