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
Category - Stance and Gait Mechanics
Focus on understanding and improving movement through anatomy, physiology, and technology like the Sprike App. It covers posture, reflex integration, ergonomic shoe design, and the effects of gravity, aiming to optimize human movement for health and efficiency.
promotes ergonomically designed shoes that enhance natural gait and posture, emphasizing the use of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques for better neuromotor engagement and reduced strain
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
explores gravity's role in human physiology and movement, advocating for a physics-informed approach to improving movement efficiency without needing deep scientific knowledge
THE NATURAL POSITION FOR THE ARMS As a movement researcher and educator, I have encountered a range of descriptions for the optimal resting position of the arms, from positioning where the thumbs point outwards, to the thumbs pointing forward...
optimizing gait through Sprike, focusing on movement efficiency and shock-absorption to enhance connective tissue health, introducing tools like the Sprike app and OutSole insoles for practical gait improvements that minimizes body wear
I’m exploring if data on the characteristics of how we move reveals a metric of the efficacy of manual therapy treatments. Being able to use this kind of data could help move the field forward by giving us solid proof of how well...
ABSTRACTThis study aims to assess the impact of manual therapy on shock absorption in walking, using smartphone-accelerated data to track changes pre-and post-treatment. Focusing on the Connective Tissue Matrix and tensegrity mechanics, it...
The Psoas muscle group is a key attribute of our stance and gait dynamics. It is embedded deeply within our lower torso, and consequently more challenging for many of my clients to cultivate a relationship with. It is common for me to attempt...
Our bodies are perpetually under the influence of acceleration due to gravity, and we maneuver by altering how this acceleration acts on our mass. By examining the acceleration data, especially the rate at which acceleration changes—known as...
