Sphenoid-Occiput/Atlas/Axis Complex

Exploring the biomechanics of the sphenoid-occiput-atlas-axis complex, emphasizing its role in neck function and the importance of alignment for activating natural motor systems

Using the Sprike App in Movement Education

explores the Sprike app's benefits in movement education, particularly for correcting patterns and reducing musculoskeletal issues, through immediate feedback, enhancing physical therapy and sports performance​

Reflex Integration and Sprike

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...

Defining the Gravity Line of the Body

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

Ergonomics of Shoe Design

promotes ergonomically designed shoes that enhance natural gait and posture, emphasizing the use of advanced materials and manufacturing techniques for better neuromotor engagement and reduced strain

Sitting

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

Gravity

explores gravity's role in human physiology and movement, advocating for a physics-informed approach to improving movement efficiency without needing deep scientific knowledge

Fascia – Connective Tissue

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

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...

A Metric for the Study of Tensegrity in...

ABSTRACTDiscussion invoking tensegrity principles to elucidate action within mammalian physiology is currently prevalent. Here a simple experiment is discussed that uses accelerometer data to examine shock absorption characteristics of a...
