Those ligaments had been pulled tightly. Only a small, minute alteration in any ligament or muscle affects all others. These ligaments in particular had been in the process of loosening, before Ruburt suddenly found he could thusly move his head, and look up toward the ceiling while walking.

Just before the eye condition became apparent, the following happened. Some ligaments that had been shortened in the head and neck area began to lengthen. These ligaments control arm motions, head movement, and have been in those terms largely responsible for holding Ruburt in this position, topwise.

The beginning release of those ligaments affected muscles that had been thusly held, so that they also began a release. As a rule muscles do not suddenly release an inch or two, and again, the smallest alteration is important. Ruburt mentioned it to you, and noted it himself. Both of you promptly felt it to be quite insignificant. So Ruburt could lift his head an inch while walking. Each of you thought, big deal.

In fact, a significant improvement had begun, for those motions affected all others, beginning to stretch other muscles and ligaments, demanding more circulation, and so forth.

The difference between the two sides of his body—the slowness and entire stance—began initially with tension in the head and jaw area, and the considerable tightening of large groups of ligaments and muscles in the neck particularly.

[...] The right pulley, or group of ligaments, was most to blame, and it is that area that has been and is now releasing so well.

[...] Natural motion and near-normal speed is returning to certain muscles and ligaments in the arm—the right one particularly. [...]

The motions may not seem synchronized as yet, but those important ligaments are midway along in their release—a highly important development.

How could such things “slip my mind”?—front ligament (or muscle) of left leg this AM. [...] Shortly later—4 PM—ligaments behind both legs relax some more, delightful feelings of release to toes.

[...] The group of ligaments on right side of neck seem to be releasing steadily—with improved head motions—though the process isn’t yet completed. [...]

The main work, meaning basic work with the neck ligaments, should soon be over, so that the eyes will be far more comfortable, and the other changes largely show in the body’s lower portions. The head tensions and those ligaments, however, are keys that before locked the shoulders, arms, and chest in a given position, forcing the knees to bend for the sake of balance.

[...] The release so far of those neck ligaments has allowed for the awakening of nerves in the knees, and the beginning release of the ligament group here—highly important (underneath the knees).

[...] The tension resulted in jaw pressures, affecting the teeth, the sinuses, and in particular the tightening of large ligaments in the neck. [...]

Just about all of the ligaments are softening, and then releasing, in a rather rhythmic pattern. [...]

[...] Our friend Frank Longwell verified the loosening of the ligaments in the knees. [...] The same applies to the right foot particularly as new ligaments loosen.

The neck ligaments, as mentioned, and the jaw area were particularly involved. [...] He used to close his eyes tightly, often, when he sat down, tensing the knee ligaments and the eyes at the same time. [...]

[...] The body is not a puppet, however, so the tightened ligaments and muscles restrained the joints to some extent—all of them. [...]

Each muscle, ligament, and joint was to some extent affected, drawn too tightly. [...]

[...] This week Ruburt has regained additional motion in his right foot, with a loosening of ligaments and muscles—important ones that will help the stretching of the legs. All of the ligaments have begun to stretch, and the muscles to loosen.

[...] The main tension points however involved the ligaments of the neck, affecting the eyes, and while those ligaments stayed more or less rigid, the eyes got used to doing their work in a restricted area. [...]

As those ligaments release, the eyes try to be more active. [...]

[...] Last PM in bed left cheek jaw (bone?) opened much further —(same now); a further motion of neck ligaments to shoulders/arms. Also a large (ligament?) in front of right leg by knee is gaining motion.

[...] Frank’s diagnosis of the beneficial changes in muscles, ligaments and strength, is quite accurate, though even he is unable to deduce such other deeper changes.

The legs have straightened—that is, the ligaments and muscles have, and to some considerable degree. [...]

[...] The ligaments, joints and muscles are gaining flexibility.

[...] Muscles and ligaments that have been released are acclimating themselves, becoming dependable, so that they can take over fully, thus signaling other groups of their kind.

[...] They will continue with different sets of muscles and ligaments—but first the initial groups had to stabilize while other portions learned to accept the new balance.

[...] The ligaments are trying to move now toward unrestricted motion.

Some feelings of tension at various times then are simply the result of stages in which certain ligaments are moving faster than others. [...]

[...] The improvements I mentioned as occurring within 10 days partially took place—with the ankles, hands, large ligaments, shoulders, and is occurring in the arms. [...]

From Tuesday AM through Friday late afternoon—it seems that more or less constant softening and loosening of all moveable parts went on, particularly the gradual releasing of heavy ligament group in neck, right side. On two nights in bed, definite softening of very important muscles and ligaments from hips down back of legs, under knees; and also stomach muscles right side. [...]

[...] A torn ligament. [...]

[...] Jane knew vaguely of this but did not know that he now has a torn ligament and must wear some kind of waist brace that I don’t know the technical name for but I always call it a strap. [...]

All of above continues & left jaw & ligament begins. [...]

Drive to post office with R. Almost too many improvements to remember; much greater motion right ankle; considerable new motion left foot; left knee looser; also right knee, to lesser degree; head-neck areas and ligaments all definitely loosening; and jaw. [...]

Late afternoon: felt something in right neck ligaments release or drop down that seemed to make right eye better (at right edge).

[...] Ligaments right neck releasing. [...]

[...] During the day and particularly at night, the ligaments in right side of my neck definitely loosened; giving me some new neck and head motions that are quite obvious to me; the entire right side seemed to be loosening.

[...] Anyhow—by Sunday evening the whole head, neck, eye, ear, area quite improved in motion; moves faster, those ligaments more resilient, and the motion though restricted, I’d say, near normal. [...]

[...] PM doing correspondence; eyes some blurry; that right bunch of ligaments seems to be working....

[...] There have been relaxations and he felt better, but now we are dealing with overall definite changes in which the ligaments are being extended. [...]

The ligaments and the muscles are in motion now. [...]

[...] The other area involved ligaments and muscles that attached the thighs to the trunk, resulting in the behavior of the knees and legs in general.
