Category - Manual and Movement Therapies

Explores touch therapy, movement education via Sprike App, collagen and Vitamin C’s role, vision optimization, reflex integration, fascia significance, body reading, and natural arm positioning to enhance physical health and movement​​.

Motion of the Arms in Gait

Highlights the biomechanical synergy between arm and leg movements in gait, focusing on cross-lateral integration for stability and movement efficiency, and suggests exercises to enhance this natural coordination.

Sphenoid-Occiput/Atlas/Axis Complex

Exploring the biomechanics of the sphenoid-occiput-atlas-axis complex, emphasizing its role in neck function and the importance of alignment for activating natural motor systems

Auditory Optimization

explores exercises for auditory enhancement, focusing on sound localization and mid-frequency sounds to improve spatial awareness and communication, countering the auditory limitations of modern environments​

Using the Sprike App in Movement Education

explores the Sprike app's benefits in movement education, particularly for correcting patterns and reducing musculoskeletal issues, through immediate feedback, enhancing physical therapy and sports performance​

Vision Optimization

advocates for improving visual acuity with exercises tailored to combat the effects of screen use and urban living, suggesting regular practice with eye-tracking exercises for enhanced vision and cognitive benefits​

Reflex Integration and Sprike

connects Sprike scores, indicating movement smoothness, with reflex integration, suggesting higher scores reflect better reflex efficiency. It explores reflexes as key to survival and skill, proposing Sprike feedback as a tool for enhancing...

Defining the Gravity Line of the Body

challenges traditional posture concepts, emphasizing dynamic movement through "Kinsegrity." This principle promotes efficient, natural movement and standing, minimizing wear by aligning the body to better absorb and distribute energy

Sitting

critiques the widespread use of chairs for sitting, advocating for a stool-based posture that aligns the spine over the pelvis, leveraging natural postural reflexes for better structural health

Fascia – Connective Tissue

Manual Therapy tactics and strategies have foundationally evolved since I went into practice in the 1980’s. In the past 15 years, the underlying mechanisms of efficacy in manual techniques have been firmly established. Having followed...

Body Reading

Body reading is a valuable skill any Manual Therapist should practice. The essence of the skill is to build a working knowledge of the ideal center of gravity of the human body and to be able to effectively guess the center of mass of the body...
