"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.

Muscle [1noun] \'mə-səl\

Job's Body: Muscle gives shape, substance and stability to the body. It actively utilizes the cables and levers (fascia, ligaments, tendons, bones) to suspend the limbs and organs aloft. Muscle provides the tension in the tensegrity structure.

Without muscle, the network would collapse and flatten like a "handful of limp balloons piled on a jumble of sticks." p. 110
