Axon
An axon is a long, thin fiber that extends from the cell body of a neuron (nerve cell) and carries electrical signals, or nerve impulses, away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles. Think of it as a long "wire" that sends signals from one part of the cell to another. These signals are crucial for communication between cells, allowing us to feel, think, and move. The axon is an essential component of the nervous system, allowing us to process and respond to the information from our environment.
Bodywork
Bodywork refers to various therapeutic techniques that focus on the body's soft tissues, such as muscles, fascia, tendons, and ligaments. The goal of bodywork is to relieve pain, improve posture and flexibility, reduce stress and tension, and enhance overall physical and emotional well-being.
Bodywork can be a useful complementary therapy for a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, injury recovery, and stress-related conditions, among others.
