So after a very peculiar and strange week for work.
There are excuses and reasons for cancelling clients.
I hope you all understood the reasons..
Lots of them.. buzzing everywhere.
We had a swarm of bees deciding to build in the chimney at work.
I had lots of uninvited guests flying through.
Pleased to say , hopefully sorted very humanely and ethically by a wonderful beekeeper.
Extraordinary John.
Thank you so much for helping , my neighbour for the ladders and Richard for getting it organised.
And hopefully removing the hive to its new home !

Abdominopelvic Interrelationships: Analysis by the_drjoe

“Your abdomen isn’t just organs packed together - it’s organized by a giant membrane called the peritoneum 🎯 This is how your gut is suspended, protected, and given room to move.

*What you’re seeing in this sagittal view:*

*Peritoneal sacs - the spaces:*
- *Greater sac*: The main peritoneal cavity. It’s the big pink space holding most of your intestines, stomach, and liver.
- *Lesser sac*: The “omental bursa” behind the stomach. It’s a separate compartment connected to the greater sac through the *epiploic foramen*. Surgeons care about this because infections and fluid can get trapped here.

*Peritoneal folds - the connections:*
- *Lesser omentum*: Connects liver to stomach and duodenum. Holds the portal triad - portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct.
- *Greater omentum*: Hangs off the stomach like an apron. Fatty, mobile, and called the “policeman of the abdomen” because it walls off infections.
- *Transverse mesocolon & Sigmoid mesocolon*: Attach transverse and sigmoid colon to the posterior abdominal wall, carrying blood vessels and nerves.
- *Mesentery*: The fan-like fold attaching small intestine to the back wall. Everything you eat passes through it.

*Pouches - potential spaces:*
- *Rectouterine pouch*: The deepest point in females. Fluid, blood, pus collects here.
- *Uterovesical pouch*: Between bladder and uterus.
- *Rectovesical pouch*: The male equivalent.

*Organs shown*: Liver with *caudate lobe*, stomach, *third part of duodenum*, pancreatic body, uterus, re**um, urinary bladder, p***c symphysis.

Why this matters: Peritonitis, ascites, and tumor spread all follow these spaces. Know the peritoneum, and you can predict where disease will go.

What’s crazier: that your small intestine is suspended by a 6-foot-long mesentery, or that the greater omentum actively moves to contain infections? Ever thought about how much organization is inside your belly?”

🌿🌿 May Momentum for Manual Therapists 🌿🌿

May is a time of growth, renewal, and forward movement. As manual therapists, it’s an opportunity to build on our foundation and continue evolving in our practice.

Presence and refined palpation are essential—but as Jean-Pierre Barral emphasized, they are only the beginning. Meaningful, lasting outcomes come from continually deepening our anatomical knowledge and clinical understanding.

Often called “the missing link,” the modalities developed and taught through the Barral Institute can help unlock new possibilities for effective, lasting treatment results.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have years of experience, this season invites you to keep growing, learning, and refining your skills.
