The ILF Loop stands for Interstitial Fluid, Lymphatic System, and Superficial Fascia. A deep understanding of the unique relationship between these three systems is critical for sound healers to understand how vibration, pressure, and movement affect the body as a...
We start with the interstitial fluid because this is the place where substances leave the cardiovascular system through artery capillaries and into the “interstitial” space so the substances to perform their various purposes like providing nutrients and oxygen to...
The term “superficial” means it is a layer closer to the outside of the body. Fascia permeates the entire body in almost every aspect of structure and flow of every system from the fluids inside of the cardiovascular system to the vascular tubes and the supporting...
The lymph vessels and nodes work together to remove fluids from the interstitial spaces of the ECM for cleaning, recycling, and removal. The lymphatic system has many tasks along the return route of the lymphatic system to the cardiovascular system, but we are mainly...
As we have previously stated, a failure in one component of the ILF Loop can cause the other two to degrade or fail as well. Now that we have a better understanding of how these components interact within the confined spaces of the ECM, we can discuss the interaction...
