It reflects a deep dive into bodywork, offering insights from Esty’s experience and client interactions, along with significant findings from scientific and technology-oriented publications.

Digital Radiation

The migration from Analog to Digital wave forms (DWF) was the precipitating ever of our move into our wireless society. DWF pack vastly more information into the same space as Analog waves do. We are in essence, participating in a global...

Insights into Isolation

New Research suggests that chronic loneliness can cause cardiovascular restriction, compromised immune function and arouse the Fight or Flight response. It suggests that we have evolved a stress response to isolation to prevent us from...

Adaptive Capacity

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.

Wearing High Heel Footwear

If I could design a shoe with a 3" heel that looked great and made women look great that didn't trash their feet and wreck their postural dynamics - I would be rich. Here are some design considerations:

Back Pain

Why We Usually Get Back Pain In A Few Specific Spots:From a structural perspective, the job of the spine can be thought of as transmitting load energy up and down its length. Particularly in movement, the spine has to deal with both compressive...

Creating New Developmental Opportunities For...

Development during our first weeks, months, and years relies heavily on our reflexes. Reflexes are congenital behavioral patterns that enable us to understand stimuli and respond appropriately. An example is a stimulus on the cheek that will...
