ABSTRACTDiscussion invoking tensegrity principles to elucidate action within mammalian physiology is currently prevalent. Here a simple experiment is discussed that uses accelerometer data to examine shock absorption characteristics of a...

Delves into how tensegrity principles apply to fascia’s role in structural health and movement. It discusses collagen, vitamin C, reflex integration, posture, and fascia’s impact on therapy, aiming to enhance understanding of the body’s structural and functional harmony
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 recommend these books to anyone interested in extending their touch therapy skills. The conceptual framework underpinning these books, and my study of gait dynamics, supports my continuing development as a therapist.
This is a little web app I built 20 years ago to reference the Frank Chapman DO Neurolymphatic Rubbing Points. These points should be rubbed vigorously for 10-30 seconds. The idea with the app was to build something for the phone that could be...
Fascia, the connective tissue matrix that permeates the human body, exhibits a complex, crystalline nature that has significant implications for manual therapy and bodywork. This crystalline structure is integral to understanding the...
TENSEGRITYTensegrity, a portmanteau of “tensional integrity,” is a structural principle that has found significant applications in biological systems. At its core, tensegrity structures are composed of components under pure...
Mechanotransduction refers to the processes by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. Both fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing the extracellular matrix and collagen in connective tissues) and osteoclasts (cells...
Our reflexes, qualities of the tensile fabric of our connective tissue matrix, muscle strength, and conceptual framework influence how we move. Our characteristics of movement can be captured with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) in the three...
In the context of General Relativity, our understanding of motion, stability, and interaction with gravity undergoes a profound transformation from the notions embedded within an Aristotelian or even Newtonian framework. The relativistic...
The fundamental distinction between animals and all living beings is movement. Animals emerged out of living beings becoming able to make distinctions in their surroundings, give meaning to those distinctions, and move towards or away from what...
