Episode notes
Six Year Old Corrected A Personal Trainer
- Roger got corrected by a six-year-old in adult gymnastics, revealing adults' lost movement patterns.
- That experience sparked his method focusing on joint movement language rather than isolated muscles.
Prioritize The Spine Over Individual Muscles
- Prioritize the spine over isolated muscles because spinal alignment underpins all movement.
- Frampton connects gymnastics language (shoulder, hips) to posture; good posture becomes a byproduct of joint-focused training.
Sitting Creates The S Spine Problem
- Sitting in chairs programs an S-shaped spine that correlates with back pain in Western cultures.
- Esther Gokhale's research shows J-shaped spines in populations without back pain and young children who squat naturally.
