E Pluribus Unum Musculus

Job's Body: "Muscles may have anatomic individuality but they do not have functional individuality...we will never release a single muscle, but rather we will increase a range of motion that involves several, or many, separate components." p.113

Which brings us back to EICTE: the contraction of one muscle or muscles requires the lengthening of another, as well as extension and bracing in yet others. No muscle fires in isolation (except in a textbook). p. 113
