Connective tissues in the human body are dynamic, continuously adapting to mechanical forces. A particularly intriguing aspect of this adaptability is how the connective tissue’s microstructure—specifically the density of nodes within the connective tissue matrix, which we’ll refer to as “tensegrity nodes”—adjusts in response to mechanical...
This post discusses the preliminary results of a study I am undertaking to discover if the efficacy of Manual Therapy treatments can be evaluated by the qualia of how the client moves before and after a session. The post discussing this study is here: Therapeutic Efficacy Study Here are the preliminary results plotted before and after for...
Using Jerk/RMS Acceleration for Context-Free Gait Evaluation Table of Contents Introduction Understanding Jerk in Gait Analysis Normalizing Jerk with RMS Acceleration Mathematical Example Practical Considerations Applications and Benefits Conclusion Introduction Evaluating human gait patterns is crucial in biomechanics, rehabilitation, and sports...
The story of brain wave evolution is not just a tale of biological advancement, but potentially one of overcoming a natural, planetary constraint. This narrative intertwines the development of complex neural activity with Earth’s own electromagnetic “heartbeat,” suggesting a fascinating interplay between terrestrial physics and...
An Integrated Approach to Optimizing Human Potential When a client enters manual therapy, we begin a process that goes beyond mere symptom relief. Our goal is to help individuals maximize their potential by optimizing their interaction with their environment. This approach recognizes that humans, unlike other animals, have the unique ability to...
Understanding, Programming, and Manipulating Our Body’s Connective Tissue Our bodies are marvels of biological engineering, with complex systems working in harmony to keep us alive and moving. While we often focus on bones, muscles, and organs, there’s an unsung hero in our physiology that deserves more attention: fascia. This...
Air at sea level exerts a force against a vacuum of about 14 pounds per square inch. We do not feel this because our internal systems operate within this density. In addition to this constant force, there are variations in pressure which we call acoustic energy, that cover a broad range of frequencies. The systems within our bodies function within...
Archetypes, when thought of as foundational patterns, can be observed in the evolutionary progression of living things. This post segments these into five core archetypes: Persistence, Creation, Doing, Social, and Intelligence. Each archetype serves as a lens through which the complexities and intricacies of life’s dynamics are viewed and...
