¶ Talking with Nathia about Rolfing and Osteopathy
I recently read a research article that suggested that people that have Achilles tendon injuries have problems with their hearts later on. Can you explain the connection with that? Yeah, so the calf muscles or the lower leg which connect to the Achilles tendon is considered kind of like the second heart of the body. Obviously,
we have our main heart in our chest. But the same way the blood has to go out into the system or into the body to reach different tissues, whether it's your muscles, your organs, or even, who knows, like a ligament of some sort, that same blood has to come back, right? And so the way the lower leg or the calf and the Achilles work, they work as a pump, right? So the heart is a pump. You can watch this video on Rumble, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and many other
