Hydrodynamic Locomotion

The most common and logical approach to talk about movement is still to think of muscles that move bones, that again are somehow connected to all the other bodily structures. This is, although by now it is also common knowledge and result of numerous research that this simple approach to human movement is not sufficient to describe all biomechanical aspects, and that it is extremely important to add at the very least the functionality of fascia and bigger myofascial pathways of the body to the equation. It is actually this more holistic point of view that makes it…

What Is Natural Movement

Our human bodies are capable of incredible movement diversity and we are built to use it. When we talk about natural movement different thoughts will jump to mind for different people. While some probably instantly see themselves running barefoot through the forest many others probably think of simple every day movement like getting up walking to a neighbor’s house or cooking something. There is certainly also a large number of people who don’t get triggered in any specific way when hearing natural movement simply because they never gave it any thought at all. In the following I will give you some insight into different perspectives and lead on to a definition of it that’s quite functionally oriented.

The Best Way To Walk Optimized

optimize your gait for efficiency and healthy joints

We all do it on a regular basis and most of us don’t pay attention to it unless we are in pain or feel some sort of discomfort. What I’m talking about is walking. Like all movements, it can be optimized, so that we need less energy and effort and actually enjoy it and its positive effects for the body.

That’s right!

Healthy walking has numerous health benefits for the whole body.

Some of the health benefits of optimized walking include:

Beyond Systems - a new approach to the foundation of movement and consciousness

Beyond Systems - a new approach to the foundation of movement and consciousness

Beyond Systems is an approach that literally and figuratively lies beyond regular systems and methods of describing and using ones body, mind and consciousness.

To illustrate how “Beyond Systems” relates to the familiar jungle of fitness, movement, therapy and bodywork I formulated this short blog post.
 

How we think about “body movement”

For most, there is probably not that big of a difference between a fitness approach, sports, dance martial arts or movement and yet, a closer observation uncovers interesting differences.
We can agree upon one thing, which is that the physical human body is involved in all of them, like a car is in driving. But to stick with this analogy for a second, using a car can have many different reasons. For some it is a means to get from “A” to “B” in order to survive and buy or sell food, for others, it’s a tool to explore the world and again someone else might just use it for fun because he or she likes driving so much.
