Ted and James discuss the fact that the body has "design specs," in a similar way that everyday tools, eg a garden hose, have design specs. A garden hose can get kinked up, which causes the flow of water to get interfered with. To solve that problem requires that someone untwist the hose. In a similar way, the human body has a way in which it is designed to function when it is functioning well, which we can see in very young, typically-developing children. Many of the problems we face as we get older, including joint pain, back pain, shoulder issues, etc, are the result of interferences with the design specs of the body. We address this topic, and Ted discusses what we can actually do about it. He contrasts the restoration of the design specs of the human body with methods like exercises, relaxation, athletic stretching, etc. He leads the listener through a simple thinking exercise, in which he instructs listeners to support a part of their body to allow muscles to relax from tightening, which begins to allow them to release into length and healthy tone.
