gnarly body suit sweater, dude
So I was going to a free stretch class offered at my company gym, and they handed out a piece of paper that talked about myofascial tissue, something I'm familiar with after too much physical therapy. (Example: "What is your myofascial tissue made of, rock?") Myofascial tissue is this connective thing throughout your body, kind of like a full-body knitted suit. It literally sheaths everything from muscles to joints.
I used to be too stretchy, a genetic flaw in my joints and myofascial tissue that resulted in numerous injuries. Over the course of a decade and more of collecting and compensating for those injuries, I've contorted, limped, and distorted my body until that myofascial tissue likely resembles the initial try at a complicated sweater by a seriously craft-impaired first-time knitter. There are gnarly bits that are all crumpled and too tight, and there are loose bits where the yarn got stretched.
I wish I knew more artsy people, so someone could draw their artist's impression of my myofascial tissue as bad body-suit sweater. I don't know why, but this idea amuses me greatly. Contact me to submit artwork of this nature . . .
