Head-Tail Connectivity
Head-Tail Connectivity
Head-Tail movement is the connection between your head, spine, and pelvis (tail). It helps the spine move like a gentle wave - flexing, extending, lengthening, and rotating.
Movement becomes easier when it starts from the center and flows outward.

Movement often feels easier when the spine can respond and adapt.
Your spine is designed to move to support your daily life.

SESSION TAKEAWAY
When the head and tail communicate through a fluid spine, movement becomes more adaptable. Full spinal mobility emerges when tension is released.
