For today’s episode, Shelly is joined by Dr. Martin Rosen. Dr. Martin shares the importance of bodywork as early as the baby has come out of the womb. It is emphasized in this episode that early assessment is vital for developing the baby’s nervous system. Shelly and Dr. Martin share their knowledge in their respective fields while agreeing that each practitioner has their own set of specialties, and there’s no shame in recommending others when it’s not a great fit.

Andrea Nakayama welcomes Dr. Martin Rosen back to the podcast along with his wife, Dr. Nancy Watson, to discuss the fascinating topic of fascial distortion patterns, especially as they relate to children and child behavior and development. They dive into the importance of a healthy pregnancy as well as the first few years and milestones of a child’s life, and how they are all connected to the sheath that covers our muscles and attaches to the nerves! This is an amazing discussion illuminating that everything is, indeed, connected.
