Deane Juhan in Job's Body, a must read for any bodywork practitioner, notes "bones can only go where muscles pull them, and muscles can only respond to conditions which prevail in the nervous system."

Diversity matters
What I find increasingly important over the years of
research and experiential anatomy is that diversity
of movement dictates more than we realize.
Notice your posture. How do you present yourself to
a friend as opposed to a stranger? Do you always have
your arms crossed in front of you? Do you notice or even
care that your posture represents how you feel about
yourself and the world?
What are you doing right now? Notice your breathing. Is
your breathing something that you are ever aware of during
the course of your busy day? Does it change with activities
or even the weather?
How often do you sit? You would be surprised to find out that
even if you are a daily walker, runner, exercise enthusiast....you still spend a large majority of your waking
hours in one seated position in a chair.
How do you change these habits? Acknowledge them. Notice
what you do daily and then alter your position to the floor or standing more. And, if you live in the area, attend one or both of my healthy movement classes coming up this September and October.
