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...

Encompasses a wide range of topics including the mechanics of gait, manual therapy studies, book recommendations, exercises for self-treatment, and discussions on the psoas muscle and vagus nerve stimulation. 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.
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
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
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 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...
Examples of tensegrity structures.
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...
