Differences

in arms and legs

Your leg transfers weight directly from

foot to hip, while force transmission in the arm

(see arrows) is more complex.

The Deep Back Arm Lines (yellow) run from

the tips of your little fingers up your arms,

eventually reaching your shoulder blades and the

centre of your back to your neck. The Back Functional

Lines (blue) connect to the ends of your lats, cross your

lower back, and end at opposite hips and legs.
