But while the death risk was much lower for anyone who exercised five hours a week or more, it still rose as these active people sat longer. It is now well accepted that too much sitting is unhealthy. The current study took a more direct approach, looking at the relationship of total daily sitting time to the likelihood of dying within the next three years, seeking to put a number on just how harmful prolonged sitting is.
The results are part of the Sax Institute's 45 and Up Study, the largest ongoing study of healthy aging in the Southern Hemisphere. Massage's Mystery Mechanism Unmasked. The Web of Life.

A couple of years ago I shot some brilliant footage with Gil on a cadaver we called "Ray" because his coloring of superficial fascia was glistening yellow like the sun. This past week, Gil presented an interactive lecture and slide show at the Fascia Congress 2012 in Vancouver. Esther Gokhale Wellness Center. Understanding Your Muscles. It's horrifying.
Right in front of me, a gorgeous young woman named Andria has slipped out of her clothes and is transforming herself into...me. She's removed her shirt and her black capris. Now she shakes out her blonde bob and stands in her sports bra and panties, a hand on her slender hip, looking like Brandi Chastain about to hit the showers after practice.
Until... "Head, anterior shift," a woman nearby calls out. Andria juts her neck like a tortoise, and then lifts her chin. "Shoulder girdle—anterior tilt," adds James Ready, a trainer for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Obediently, Andria hunches her back, as if she's been punched in the gut. Four people surround Andria.
