Description of Types of Pain We have more words to describe pain than an Eskimo does for snow. Describing pain accurately is essential in manual therapy, as it helps in identifying potential physiological pathologies. Here’s a list of...

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.
Thixotropy, tensegrity, fibroblast mechanotransduction, manual therapy, and gait mechanics, when examined collectively, reveal a complex web of interrelated biomechanical processes crucial for understanding therapeutic practices and their...
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...
While deeply embedded within our built surroundings, it is challenging for us to understand the movement dynamics of our hunter/gatherer ancestors. A recent discovery in White Sands National Park of ancient footprints, perhaps 23,000 years old...
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...
The model of the gravitational force we employ, as we move about, is deeply embedded within our social construct. This model can be described thus: “Gravity pulls us downward and we have to push ourselves upward against this force to move...
Safe and Sound Protocol, based on Polyvagal Theory, uses specific frequencies to promote social engagement over vigilance, aiming to reduce trauma-related stress with a 5-hour, 5-day regimen, showcasing significant therapeutic success.
This research reveals that movement is an extension of neurological organization based primarily on head position relative to the body. It validates long held theories, thereby adding confidence to our understanding that movement is an...
Our “primitive” gut neurology plays an active role in our experience. “Gut Feelings”, which we usually experience more quickly than our conscious thoughts, are a good example of how our guts are aware of and respond to...
I recently discovered what could be thought of as the next-generation massage ball for feet - the Yamuna Foot Waker.
