This is not a massage tool. Please read the instructions fully before using as there are some contra-indications for use, and it is possible to overuse this tool, generating irritation and inflammation of soft tissues. If used properly, it can greatly increase healing, and can break up areas of dense tissue that are limiting soft [...]

For Manual Therapists conceptualizing bone is something of a challenge. Classical anatomy presents bone as a static, mineralized structure that treats loads as compressional, somewhat like a stack of bricks. The dynamic and self healing properties of bone are not obvious, and especially so its pliable qualities. However, bone is by volume  33 to 43% minerals, [...]

Standard care for the types of soft tissue trauma which respond very well to Manual Therapy is the use of corticosteroids. In addition to the contamination issues recently uncovered in manufacturing facilities in the United States, their long term efficacy has been drawn into question. In a recent study by  Bill Vicenzino of the University of Queensland, Physical [...]

SYMMETRICAL AND CROSS LATERAL LOCOMOTIVE REFLEX FUNCTION
Locomotor Reflexes are the primitive mechanisms that combine to move us forward (or backward). In some manner, we share these systems with all animals. These are dominantly Proprioceptive Motor Reflexes and sometimes labeled Tendon Guard Reflexes for their reliance on sensing tendon tension. Vision (not dominantly visual cortex) is most tightly [...]

Visceral reflexes are the most ancient cognitive mechanisms present in the human body. These reflexes regulate internal processes such as digestion and the function of the liver, processes which collectively are known as Homeostasis. Optimally, life at this layer swings between digestion and absorption of nutrients and energy, growth, restoration, reproduction and protective responses. For example, light is absorbed by a plant and then converted into sugar, which is at a later time fabricated into structures used for maintenance and growth. These processes change through time, but remain fixed in function regardless of where they occur, and are therefore time, but not spatially dependent. Viewed from the perspective of the three dimensional space they embody, they occupy a point, and can therefore be categorized as point patterns of the expressions of life. In humans, these point patterns are expressed in the cyclical processes of our organs, our viscera. Visceral processes cyclically change through time, independently of where the person happens to be.

I mention this paper because it has a pretty clear overview of the math involved in the bio-mechanics of human movement.

Muscles are organs whose primary function is to produce force and motion. Skeletal muscles
are attached to bones and can move [...]
