explores gravity's role in human physiology and movement, advocating for a physics-informed approach to improving movement efficiency without needing deep scientific knowledge
BLOG
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...

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...
The cellular architecture and functionality in mammals are categorized into three primary groups. The foundational cell type, known as the Endoderm, gives rise to two distinct “daughter” cell categories through differentiation. One...
Individuals engaged in manual work, especially those who rely heavily on thumb positioning—such as violinists, who support their fingers on the instrument’s neck, or manual therapists, who manipulate soft tissue—frequently experience...
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
