researched structure and fan of lymphatics
-lymph vessels are pliable and readily compressed
-for every congested tissue there is a corresponding lymph disturbance
-attempts to clear lymphatic stream before clearing the edema in the clavicular regions is to over tax the general lymph stream and cause profound runs
-lymphatic drainage techniques

a) “respiration and circulation are unifiable functions”
b) Contributions lead to adaption of the Respiratory-Circulatory model and acceptance of technique sequences designed to enhance cellular level health (internal respiration) by maximizing external respiration
c) Emphasis on fascial restrictions limiting venous and lymphatic return
d) Noted the value of creating pressure differentials in body cavities for effective flow
e) Importance of the thoraco/abdomino/pelvic pump in the maintenance of lymphatic homeostasis
f) Integrated concepts from osteopathy in the cranial field
