Focus on understanding and improving movement through anatomy, physiology, and technology like the Sprike App. It covers posture, reflex integration, ergonomic shoe design, and the effects of gravity, aiming to optimize human movement for health and efficiency.

Integrating Reflex Responses

When our automatic reflexes are working well, we rarely even notice. These extremely fast reactions happen much quicker than would be possible if we had to think through the best option for that circumstance, making reflexes incredibly useful...

Undulation

BackgroundMoving around has always been at the top of every evolutionary “got to have” checklist. From Jellyfish to fish of all stripes, to land animals to us, improvements in locomotion confer a survival advantage. It is...

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:

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...

Emotions and The Body

Chronically painful muscles often have some form of emotional conflict as part of the root cause. Our bodies often will on one hand want to express an emotion or feeling, and on the other hand, quickly jump in and inhibit that impulse. The...
