“We are the cosmos made conscious.”
Brian Cox
The cosmos dictates life and death of every organism, and every organism influences the intricacies of the universe. The human body hurts and heals, breaks and mends, and it is this never ending cycle of push and pull- that celebrates the resilient frailty that make us who we are. In this journey from stardust to stardust, physical therapy aims to advance our inherent pull to be whole again.
“The Nitrogen in our DNA
Carl Sagan
the Calcium in our teeth
the Iron in our blood
the Carbon in our apple pies-
We are made in the interiors of collapsing stars
We are made of star stuff.”
