Knotted Release

Tiny silk kiss at the ankle is affection from a carabiner earlier this morning. Pulled myself too high for what we were doing. Many things were learned and will be done a bit differently with the easy solutions available. ^.^ until next time, the affection of my what holds my heart is reminded to me every time I tie my shoes for a bit >.< :)

Small ongoing project. :) this is my fourth attempt at making an article of clothing with an old retired silk. (Retired silks are silks that are no longer safe to be used as for practice due to damage of weathering, tears or rips, severe staining or other reasons to no longer be in use) still needing some minor adjustments, however I am quite pleased with the progress. ^.^

Great! Let's hop, skip, jump over to Tibialus Anterior quick.

See? Onion layers. The Tib Anterior is the big, thick muscle in the front of the shin. It's a big player in inverting the foot (same direction as most ankle sprains go). It's huge! But one of the cool things is that it crosses the tibia in front to attach at the medial cuniform of the foot!

This is a power muscle of the lower leg and foot. It's also the easiest muscle to see and feel in the anterior compartment of the lower leg!

Taking a brief moment, let's jump down to the Fibularis Tertius. It's a deep muscle within the anterior compartment of the lower leg. I know, you're thinking there's not much there right? How can anything be that deep? Logically understandable.

However, if you think about the different parts of the body as a series of layers, like an onion (or parfait!), but mechanically, no layer has a specific width to it. It's all piled on top of each other, attached through pulley systems with folcrums and "for science!" here we are today. Ta-da!

Anyway, back to the deep, wee muscle of the Fibularis Tertius. The Tertius actually crosses the front part of the ankle around the top and helps to lift the foot up, pulling it off the gas pedal. It pairs quite nicely with the Tibialis Anterior, which we'll get to next, while still pulling the outside of the foot up. So we'd still be everting the foot here.

The term "self care" gets thrown around a lot but is exceptionally ambiguous with no clarity around it at all. It's important and by the way figure out what it means to each of us right?

Right, so here's my thought on it; there's the "to-do" list of all the things that need to get done for one reason or another and each thing has a personal energy consumption of varying levels. This isn't new information by any means, but here's the perspective around what the term "self-care" COULD mean and the range within it; having a small scoop of ice cream as you load the diswasher.

We are all aware of the largest bone of the lower leg, the "shin" bone, or scientifically known as the tibia. We've all heard of it, nothing new right? Great! It's not the only one in that region but it's the largest of the two so we'll start there.
