🧠 Did You Know? The 3 Types of Muscle in
Your Body
Your body is made up of over 600 muscles — but not all muscles are the same! Here's a quick breakdown of the 3 types and where you'll find them:
1️⃣ Skeletal Muscle
These are the muscles you can actually control! Found attached to your bones, they're responsible for all your voluntary movement — walking, lifting, running, and everything in between. They're also the muscles most affected by tension, tightness, and the ones we work on here at Foundation Soft Tissue Therapy! 💪
2️⃣ Smooth Muscle
Found in the walls of your internal organs — like your stomach, intestines, and blood vessels — smooth muscle works automatically without you even thinking about it. It helps move food through your digestive system and regulates blood flow.
3️⃣ Cardiac Muscle
This one's exclusive to your heart ❤️ Cardiac muscle never stops working from before you're born until your last breath. Like smooth muscle, it works involuntarily — keeping your heart pumping around the clock.
Understanding how your body works is the first step to taking better care of it. Whether it's tension in your skeletal muscles or stress affecting your whole system — we're here to help!
