The Superficial Front Line (SFL) is a continuous myofascial connection that spans the entire front side of the body, extending from the tops of the toes, running up the front of the legs, along the torso, and ultimately reaching around to the sides of the skull. In terms of posture, the primary role of the SFL is to maintain balance in conjunction with the Superficial Back Line (SBL) and to facilitate the elevation of the pelvis, rib cage, neck, and head. In terms of movement, the SFL is responsible for creating flexion in the upper body and hip region, causing a forward bending motion, as well as promoting the extension of the leg at the knee joint and the bending of the foot in a direction toward the nose, a movement known as dorsiflexion.

The Superficial Back Line (SBL) is a continuous tensile myofascial structure that originates at the underside of the foot and extends along the entire back side of the body, continuing up and over the head, ending at the forehead. The primary function of SBL is to promote extension in the body. It plays a crucial role in erecting and maintaining an upright posture. It provides essential strength for overall bodily support while posturally counterbalancing the superficial front line. This myofascial connection essentially acts as a structural support system, contributing to the body’s ability to stand tall and maintain an upright position.

Note: Please consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries. Listen to your body throughout the practice and modify poses to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

The Spiral Line is a myofascial structure that forms a continuous loop encircling the body in two opposing circles, one on each side. It originates from the sides of the back of the head, crosses the thoracic spine to the opposite shoulder, encircles the chest, crosses the navel, and descends to the hip. From there, it follows a path down the front thigh, looping around the outer edge of the foot before ascending along the outer thigh to the rear of the ischium, where it merges into the erector spinae fascia. This double-looped structure provides essential stability to the body in all planes, connecting the foot with the pelvis and playing a crucial role in postural regulation and balance� as well as influencing knee alignment during activities like walking.

The Functional Lines consist of three distinct components: the front, back, and ipsilateral lines, each supporting different aspects of movement. The front functional line links the chest’s pectoralis major across the body to the opposite hip’s adductors, facilitating forward and cross-body actions. The back functional line connects the latissimus dorsi on one side, across the lower back through the thoracolumbar fascia, to the opposite side’s gluteus maximus and hamstring, aiding in backward and lifting movements. The ipsilateral line runs along the same side from the shoulder to the hip, which is crucial for lateral movements and enhancing stability during side bending or twisting. Together, these lines enable a comprehensive range of dynamic movements and stability across various planes of motion.

The Deep Front line is a complex myofascial structure that serves as the body’s myofascial “core,” starting from under the foot, traveling up the back leg, passing behind the knee, and continuing through the inner thigh, then branching into the hip, pelvis, and lumbar vertebrae. It extends through the chest, branching into the thoracic viscera, and reaches the base of the skull. Unlike a simple line, it’s three-dimensional and envelops stabilizing leg muscles, influences the hip joint and walking rhythm, bridges the neuromotor chassis and chest cavity organs, and provides counterbalance in the neck for posture and alignment.

The Lateral Line is a myofascial structure that outlines both sides of the body, extending from the center of the foot outward and along the outer aspect of the leg and thigh. It traverses the sides of the torso in a zigzag pattern to connect near the ear. The primary role of the lateral line in posture is to maintain balance between the front and rear of the body and between the left and right sides. It also plays a critical role in regulating forces transmitted from other myofascial structures, such as the superficial front and back lines, the arm lines, and the spiral line. The lateral line contributes to stabilizing the torso with the legs and assists in coordinating movements. Additionally, it facilitates side bending, raises the hips, and counteracts rotations and flexions on the opposite side, contributing to overall body stability and controlled movement.

The Functional Lines consists of three distinct components: the front, back, and ipsilateral lines, each supporting different aspects of movement. The front functional line links the chest’s pectoralis major across the body to the opposite hip’s adductors, facilitating forward and cross-body actions.

The ipsilateral line runs along the same side from the shoulder to the hip, crucial for lateral movements and enhancing stability during side-bending or twisting. Together, these lines enable a comprehensive range of dynamic movements and stability across various planes of motion.

The Arm Lines denote four distinct myofascial meridians that traverse from the axial skeleton through various planes within the shoulder, extending along all sides of the arm and reaching the hand. These lines feature a network of cross-over structures facilitating the high mobility of the arms, whereas the legs prioritize stability. The terminology of these arm lines derives from their intersections with the shoulder. They seamlessly integrate with other fascial lines throughout the body, enabling the arms to perform various movements, including pushing, pulling, rotations, and intricate manipulations, essential for executing advanced movements with precision and coordination.
