Episode 13: The Thoracic Duct: The Anatomy We Probably Don't Think About Enough

The Thoracic Duct: The Anatomy We Probably Don't Think About Enough 

What if the thoracic duct is far more interesting to osteopaths than we were ever taught?

In this episode of The LXO Podcast, Jamie Archer takes us on a fascinating anatomical journey from the abdomen through the diaphragm and thorax to the root of the neck.

Discover the remarkable anatomy of the thoracic duct, its embryological development and variations and the often-overlooked lymphatic lacunae and stomata of the diaphragm.

But this episode goes beyond anatomy. Jamie explores how respiration, pressure and movement influence lymphatic physiology and what emerging research tells us about the potential for osteopathic treatment to influence lymphatic flow.

A fascinating exploration of the relationships between structure and function that will change the way you think about the diaphragm and the lymphatic system.
