When I started doing bodywork it didn’t take long before I began to realize that there was a significant correlation between how my clients sit, stand, and move and their complaints. Early in my practice, educating clients on stance and...

The “Sprike” posts explore using technology in bodywork, emphasizing movement education through the Sprike app, reflex integration in therapy, understanding body mechanics via ‘Kinsegrity’, and promoting musculoskeletal health with innovative research and tools
A design constraint of animals is that they are inherently unstable in the direction they want to move in, and stable in all other vectors. Overcoming stability in the direction they want to go instigates movement, and having expended energy...
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
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...
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
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...
optimizing gait through Sprike, focusing on movement efficiency and shock-absorption to enhance connective tissue health, introducing tools like the Sprike app and OutSole insoles for practical gait improvements that minimizes body wear
I’m exploring if data on the characteristics of how we move reveals a metric of the efficacy of manual therapy treatments. Being able to use this kind of data could help move the field forward by giving us solid proof of how well...
ABSTRACTThis study aims to assess the impact of manual therapy on shock absorption in walking, using smartphone-accelerated data to track changes pre-and post-treatment. Focusing on the Connective Tissue Matrix and tensegrity mechanics, it...
Our bodies are perpetually under the influence of acceleration due to gravity, and we maneuver by altering how this acceleration acts on our mass. By examining the acceleration data, especially the rate at which acceleration changes—known as...
