Encompasses a wide range of topics including the mechanics of gait, manual therapy studies, book recommendations, exercises for self-treatment, and discussions on the psoas muscle and vagus nerve stimulation. It reflects a deep dive into bodywork, offering insights from Esty’s experience and client interactions, along with significant findings from scientific and technology-oriented publications.

Introduction Optimizing connective tissue is crucial for maintaining structural integrity and facilitating efficient movement in the human body. This optimization is deeply rooted in the principles of tensegrity, where the balance between...
Introduction Understanding how structures respond to different types of loads, such as axial and shear forces, can provide valuable insights into the biomechanics of movement and stability. In the context of stance and gait mechanics...
Animal locomotion is a fascinating field that explores how animals move efficiently across different environments and scales. One key tool in this analysis is the Froude number, a dimensionless quantity that relates inertial forces to...
Positioning the Device: The picture is taken from the side under the neck – the tips of the “V” point towards the ears and the bottom towards the back. This graphic indicates an optimal contact point. Locate a spot between the...
A naturally occurring compound involved in digestion lengthens lifespan in flies and makes old mice more youthful. Why eating less slows aging: this molecule is key Lithocholic acid, also known as 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic...
These videos discuss causes and exercises for relieving jaw pain. The graphical representations and explanations are very good and align with my experience. Dr. Joe Damiani is doing excellent work as an educator. DR JOE DAMIANI These videos are...
Connective tissues in the human body are dynamic, continuously adapting to mechanical forces. A particularly intriguing aspect of this adaptability is how the connective tissue’s microstructure—specifically the density of nodes within the...
