Explores touch therapy, movement education via Sprike App, collagen and Vitamin C’s role, vision optimization, reflex integration, fascia significance, body reading, and natural arm positioning to enhance physical health and movement.
advocates for improving visual acuity with exercises tailored to combat the effects of screen use and urban living, suggesting regular practice with eye-tracking exercises for enhanced vision and cognitive benefits
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...
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
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
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...
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...
