If this is your first time, you have undoubtedly heard that it is something to dread. There is new information about how our body's muscles and bones work which you can use to chase that ache clear over into the next county, never to return. Let's get started in your education. Remember, this is just education. Consult with your health care provider prior to trying it on yourself.
Ligaments are the strong, tough white material which holds bones together at the joints.
Take a look at the ligaments next time you cut into a raw chicken joint. It is very tough material. If the chicken, or you, didn't have the ligament material holding your bones together, at night when you sleep and your muscles are relaxed your bones would get mixed up in a terrible jumble. The nose bone could be down by your waist and your knee cap could be dangling from an ear. You get the idea.
