Book XI integrates nerves, bones, muscles, and movement as they relate to the torso. Aspects of the muscular system include muscles connecting the front and back of the torso, muscles connecting the head and tail through the torso, and the anti-gravitational effect of postural muscles. Movements of the bones and muscles are presented in connection to the nerves. Also discussed are the effects of primary control and the equipoise of joints on overall use, as well as how angles of joints affect neighboring areas of the body. The role of F.M. Alexander’s work in developing optimal functioning of these areas, and the subsequent effects on all intrinsic functions, such as breathing and digestion are presented as well.
