A neutral pelvis means that our spine can act as a “spring” in our bipedal form, to provide a buffer for the compressive forces moving through the body as we navigate through space and gravity. A simple approach to finding a neutral pelvis is to experiment with the...

Do you know? That in every movement or gesture that we perform, the Nervous System is listening to the Fascia System and talking to the Musculo-Skeletal system. Our body of intelligence is always trying to figure out how to respond to the environment. The...
