Greetings!
Hello, fellow practitioners! Hope all is well. Vince and I are getting ready to host our Hermosa Beach FSTT on November 9th and 10th . We hope to see you! This month our clinical application section shares a spiraling technique to assist the soft tissue translation around the knee region. In addition, we posted a quick-read article on the ARTT of palpation. We hope you enjoy! Please check out our upcoming events at www.grayinstitute.com. If you want to host an FSTT course at your facility, please contact Keith Bozyk at KBozyk@grayinstitute.com If you have any questions or just want to share ideas for an upcoming newsletter topic, please email Lenny at lparracino@gmail.com. Thank you! In Health, Lenny and Vince |

Clinical Application
Movement is not only three-dimensional, but also SPIRAL in nature, rather than linear. This allows the flow of fluids through our system to be efficient against the natural forces we all encounter day-to-day. Understanding that tissues wrap in spiraling arcs of motion, allowing fluids to flow efficiently, it behooves us, as practitioners, to replicate ways to assess and mobilize the connective tissue in a similar manner as best we can. This video demonstrates one of the MANY possibilities. We hope this spawns greater thoughts!

Questions/Research/Information
This month we have a quick-read article to add thoughts to your palpation skills. As stated in this article... 'Palpation cannot be learned by reading or listening; it can only be learned by palpation' (Viola Frymann, 1963). However, we need to explore written information to better understand how to apply touch (our energy) to another person. This article shares some insights to the questions "what am I feeling for?" and/or "what should I search for?" We hope you enjoy!

Food for thought...
Interestingly, George Snyder stated this back in 1956... today this belief is much stronger!
"The connective tissues not only bind various parts of the body, but, in a broader sense, connect the numerous branches of medicine"
Thank you for being a part of our FSTT community!
