"Everything is connected to everything." --Mrs. Stephens, 10th-grade Chem

Body and mind. Bones, fascia, and muscles. Central nervous system and peripheral. Assessment and treatment. Client and therapist. All the interesting bits and pieces of bodywork knowledge that have fallen or will fall out of my brain. A blog to store and connect them all, hopefully.

Hey Big Spender

Job's Body: Muscle makes up the majority of our weight and bulk and is the biggest energy consumer in the body. p. 133

Muscle requires constant electrical energy from its motor nerves for health and existence. Nerves stimulate muscle function and without this activity, muscles would eventually break down, lose their myosin and actin and be replaced by fat or connective tissue -- aka miasma. p. 136-7
