The Spectrum of Spinal Positions

Austin Einhorn   I concluded this post’s predecessor by telling you to have a “good” spine position, but it’s only because that gets you to imagine a neutral position, hopefully.

Butter Back (part 1)

Jeremy Fein   Why Butterback? You need to move your back in so many ways, whether in athletic movement like throwing and kicking or daily activities like tying your shoes.

Spinal Fluidity – Influence of Load & Scapula

Christine Ruffolo   Movement expression is dependent on on our tadpole-like head and spine to drive and disperse motion.  Any sticking points have a reverberatory effect on the actions of the limbs.  After a decade of undoing the rigidity trained through athletics and weight lifting, I am beginning to piece together how to create a […]
