13- The Heart_Diastole & Systole

The heart plays a central role in regulating bodily energy, oscillating between the phases of systole and diastole. Systole, characterized by a rise and ejection of blood, is essential for maintaining pressure in the circulatory system, while diastole allows the heart to fill again. This cycle is influenced by supination and pronation movements, as well as by interaction with neighboring organs such as the liver, stomach, and lungs. The balance between these two phases is crucial for proper cardiac and emotional functioning, with each individual having a natural predisposition to one function or the other.

The study of cardiac movements also reveals the importance of the verticalization and horizontalization of the heart, which can affect emotional and physical dynamics. Support points, such as the aortic space and the pulmonary space, are essential for observing these movements. A good relationship between the heart and the diaphragm is paramount, as it ensures fascial continuity that facilitates optimal heart function. By integrating these elements, manual evaluation and observation of fascial movements allow for a better understanding of the complex interactions between the heart and other bodily systems, thus promoting a holistic approach in osteopathy and biodynamic embryology.
