During my recent time in an unstructured body, due to my spinal disintegration, and then during my recovery time, where my spinal structure went through a reattachment-- I have been thinking about structure and its importance in our human bodies.
I know everyone understands the idea of how and why we can’t walk on a broken leg. Even if you have never broken a bone, there is an innate understanding that we need solid bones in order to bear weight.
Even so, there are so many layers to our body's ability to take weight through a bone that we aren't always aware of the entire picture. The bone itself sends messages to the brain about its ability to carry weight from one end to the other mechanically. The ligaments that attach bone to the muscle are born as an intricate part of our bones, and if they cannot generate equal and opposite power off the bone, then that is a message to the brain of instability. The connective tissue that wraps all around our bones, ligaments, muscles, and organs is a living, breathing, element in its own right, and if it cannot pull across the bony leverage system to help support movement and posture, then the brain has yet another perspective of what is missing! And the brain itself responds- it simply will not allow us to work against gravity unsupported.
The Leverage System
I talk about the leverage system of the bones, the connective tissue, and the muscles in my book ”Between Breath and Pain”. Our human bodies have so many forms of inner communication, from specific hard wired pain lines of communication, to the subtlety of poetry and our imagination. Each line has an open relay to the body and the mind, and each has the ability to report immediate and wished for results.
Check out Chapter 2 on the Reality of Pain, Chapter 5 on the Brain, and Chapter 7 on the Leverage System to learn more about how the muscles are arranged to take advantage of the skeletal leverages. Our bodies are clever! And they obey all the laws of physics.
