Functional Application of the DTRs
The DTR are essential in the examination of low back and neck function, but they are also useful with every patient you see. Whether it is in the patella or the biceps, the hamstrings or the triceps, the DTR can help localize the source of a functional problem. Find out more...

Functional Application of the Tonic Neck Reflex
Most authorities believe that the tonic neck reflexes (TNR) are extinguished by the person's first birthday. In reality, they become integrated into the fabric of the human nervous system. Each application reveals insight to the nervous system's function that is useful in clinical practice. Develop a deeper understanding of the "fencing reflex" and how to deciphir its application to posture and gait.

Being Uniquely Human
Specific traits set mammals apart from other animals. The same is true with humanity, but humans are unlike animals. A few of the traits that distinguish humans from other species are self-awareness and morality, speech and symbolic cognition, nimble thumbs, upright posture, conscience, sociability, and the capacity to imagine.

Pyramidal Distrubition of Weakness
The first key to understanding the pyramidal distrubution of weakness is that it is a misnomer. Second, a basic clinical application depends on knowing that the entire human nervous system is receptor-based. That is to say, all functions of human performance are as a result of the signals that arise from afferent input largely as a result of joint mechanoreceptor afferentation.

Rats in Space
In the early 1990's, five rats took a two week ride in the Space Shuttle. When they returned, scientists learned that these rats lost 30% of the muscle fibers that help them resist the effects of gravity. This represents a remarkable atrophy for a four-legged animal, but what does that mean for humans?

Surround Inhibition
This idea is one that all those who do structural body work should understand. Surround inhibition is all about how the functional neurological mechanisms keep the cerebellum on track so that the paraspinal muscles can endure 24/7.
