Let’s start with a simple test: place your hands on the sides of your head and gently try moving your scalp. Do you feel any movement in the connective tissue, or does it feel stiff and immobile? For some, the scalp might barely move. Now, try shifting it forward toward your eyebrows as much as you can and notice how this affects the area around your eyebrows and upper eyelids. If you look in the mirror, you’ll likely see how this forward tension causes the tissues above the eyes to push downward, creating a heavy, drooping effect over the eyelids.
When the back of the head and scalp are tense or restricted, we see clear signs on the forehead: wrinkles, low-set brows, and drooping, puffy eyelids. However, by working deeply, especially around the periosteum (the layer surrounding bones), we can achieve noticeable and lasting improvements.
This effect traces back to the Superficial Back Line (SBL)—a continuous chain of muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and periosteum that runs from the soles of the feet up the back of the body, and all the way to the brow ridge. Any restrictions or imbalances within this line, whether in the feet, calves, pelvis, spine, or neck, eventually show up in the face.
The Takeaway
Our body is profoundly interconnected. Achieving lasting results means treating it as a whole. By working along the entire SBL, we address foundational tensions that can enhance not only posture and facial appearance but overall well-being.
This holistic approach is at the heart of what we do: revitalizing not just the face but the whole body, creating harmony and lasting transformation.
At Natural Rejuvenation YEG, we focus on the whole body, using gentle, hands-on techniques to bring out lasting facial and body transformation without injections or machines. Discover a new approach to rejuvenation that leaves you looking and feeling refreshed from head to toe.
