How the Human Body Resists Gravity: The Science of Alignment, Balance, and Flow
Every moment you stand, sit, or move, the Earth is pulling you downward with a constant invisible force — gravity. It never stops. Yet, your body resists it with ease, creating balance, posture, and effortless motion. From the outside, this looks simple. But inside, a brilliant collaboration unfolds between your bones, muscles, fascia, and nervous system . Each system communicates, adjusts, and adapts to maintain alignment and flow. This is the story of how the human body def

The Spiral of Motion: Rotation, Torque, and the Body’s Energy Flow
When you look at nature — from galaxies to seashells to the human spine — one pattern appears again and again: the spiral . It’s the signature of life in motion. The body, too, moves in spirals. Every step, twist, and breath expresses rotational flow. From the spiral torque of your DNA to the coiling motion of your muscles and fascia, this pattern reveals how energy moves, transfers, and restores balance throughout the human system. The spiral of motion is how the body gener

Structure in Motion: The Kinetic Chain and Alignment
Your body is not a collection of separate parts — it’s an interconnected, dynamic system that moves, adapts, and balances as one. Every step, twist, or reach you take sends force through a network of muscles, fascia, bones, and joints that all communicate seamlessly. This is the kinetic chain — the foundation of human movement and one of the most important principles in biomechanics and chiropractic care. When this chain is balanced, movement is fluid and efficient. When one

The Chains That Connect It All: Myofascial Slings and the Integrated Body
The human body isn’t built from isolated parts — it’s a living web of tension, balance, and flow. Every step, twist, or reach you take isn’t just a movement of one muscle but the orchestration of hundreds working in harmony through a continuous fabric of connective tissue known as fascia . This network forms what are known as myofascial chains or myofascial slings — the body’s natural architecture for movement, power, and posture. Understanding these chains changes everythi

Ground Reaction: How Your Body Talks to the Earth
Every step you take is a conversation between your body and the planet beneath you. With each footfall, energy flows upward through your feet, spirals through your fascia, and returns through muscular contraction, balance, and breath. This exchange — the continuous dialogue between your structure and gravity — is called the ground reaction force . It’s how your body communicates with the Earth, how you resist gravity, and how you generate motion. When this communication is cl
