What still  baffles me is how the drawings produced by examining cadavers can
be so  drastically different from Hartmann's portrayal of the breast  tissue.



Dear Friends:
    Rachel raises an interesting point.
    A big difference probably is based in the  difference between dead and 
living tissue. 
    There are two different schools of anatomy  about bones. One is that 
bones are rigid, and the bones of the skull don't move.  The other is that bones 
are incredibly flexible and that the skull bones do  move. The difference is 
that the first school of thought (which was taught to me  in college in 1968) 
was based on dead specimens. A basic craniosacral  therapy technique involves 
feeling bone movement, which, once one learns the  technique, is pretty big. 
    My understanding is that Hartmann et al's research  is based on real-time 
ultrasound, completely different to dissections of  dead specimens.
    There are probably different genetic variations  also.
    warmly,
