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...

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.
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...
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:
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...
