Your body remembers everything—from physical accidents to childhood emotional traumas—and stores these memories within the intricate web of fascia that surrounds every organ, muscle, bone, and cell. In this eye-opening conversation with John McLaughlin, we explore how this "wetsuit under your skin" affects our overall health and particularly impacts orthodontic treatments and tongue-tie releases.

John shares his journey from critical care nursing to craniosacral fascial therapy after seeking help for his own son's oral dysfunction. What started as a skill to help his family transformed into a calling as he witnessed dramatic healings through addressing the body's fascial system. He explains that fascia isn't just connective tissue—it's an intelligent communication network that remembers traumas and triggers protective responses when similar situations arise, sometimes decades later.

This conversation reveals why treating tongue ties or expanding palates without addressing fascial restrictions often leads to incomplete results or asymmetrical outcomes. The deep frontal line connects "tongue to toe," meaning restrictions in your mouth may be influenced by tension in your pelvis, diaphragm, or feet. John details how different age groups respond to treatment—with babies offering immediate feedback, toddlers requiring playful approaches, and adults often experiencing profound emotional releases as their bodies process stored traumas.
