  Alternative Title: Describing the Avoidant Half   I have been writing about asymmetries for some time.  Whether it be determining the up leg from from down leg, or the pitfalls of detorsioning the system, I continue to find and… Read more ›

The One Concept Central to Them All

Teeter Totter 148269 1280

Asymmetry.  Up Leg.  Compression.  Push Down.  Space.  Rotational Organization.  These all describe the physics of one half of the body accepting load, and one half of the body avoiding load.  The first time I wrote about this, I referred to… Read more ›
