Midline collapse in sports medicine

Uncategorized Sep 13, 2025

🔴 Sports Medicine's Blind Spot: Midline Disintegration = Functional Loss

Most sports medicine models treat injury and recovery through:
  • Muscle groups (e.g., quads, hamstrings)
  • Joints (e.g., ACL, shoulder, spine)
  • Linear rehab protocols (range of motion, strength, flexibility)
But what they ignore is the architecture of functional midlines — and once that midline structure collapses, function cannot return, even if pain subsides or ROM improves.
 
 

⚠️ Common Failures Due to Midline Collapse

🏃‍♂️ ACL Injuries

  • Rehab focuses on quad/hamstring ratios and knee tracking
  • But the real breakdown is the inability to reorganize the midline torque
  • They regain symmetry, but lose rotational stability — and reinjure

🏌️‍♀️ Rotator Cuff / Shoulder Instability

  • Surgery restores the anatomical connection
  • Rehab ignores scapular-to-spine midline articulation
  • Athlete can't re...

Linear Versus Crossing + Rotational Midline Workouts

Uncategorized Sep 11, 2025

Doing Movement Lesson™ for yourself comes with your workout, as well as working on yourself. Now that I have the mathematical proof, I want to break down what I'm doing. So I start the exercise with a typical linear muscle-based cable pull. Then I'm adding midline crossing and rotational midlines. Notice the increased engagement in the workout session.

Understanding the "Missing Link" of Vision, Movement, and Child Development

An Introduction for the Worried Parent: Acknowledging Your Journey

The journey of parenthood is often filled with wonder and joy, but for many, it can also be a path of deep concern and uncertainty. When a child is not meeting developmental milestones as expected, or when their movements seem "off," it is natural for a parent to feel anxious and seek answers. This quest for understanding can sometimes lead to a disheartening cycle of being told to simply "wait and see," leaving a parent feeling helpless and alone. The Movement Lesson approach offers a different perspective, providing an avenue for proactive action and a profound sense of hope for a brighter future (1).

 

 

The Foundation of Movement Lesson

At its core, Movement Lesson is an innovative method, not a traditional therapy (1). It applies the principles of physics and movement sciences to foster what the creator refers to as "milestone momentum" through "movement acceleration techniques" (1). The method moves beyon...

Biological Shutdown Following Traumatic Delivery

Uncategorized Sep 09, 2025
Turner Analysis: Traumatic Delivery – Cranial Swelling and Full-System Collapse
This  newborn shows clear signs of traumatic compression at birth. The heavy bruising, full-head edema, and lack of postural tone are not merely aesthetic concerns — they are gravitational and neurological markers of a failed initial entry into functional life.
 
 
 

🔴 1. Cranial Edema and Midline Disintegration

This infant’s head is visibly swollen, particularly in the occipital and parietal regions. That indicates birth canal compression and likely rotational trauma. You’re not seeing reflex integration because you’re not seeing rotational force translation.
Turner Midline Collapse Equation:
\Delta M = \frac{|\tau_L - \tau_R|}{t}
• There is no torque differential — no attempt by the system to self-center.
• The head is not responding to gravity — it is sinking into collapse.
This isn’t hypotonia — it’s gravitational non-initiation due to cranial interference.

Why Rolling Over Matters More Than You Think

Uncategorized Sep 05, 2025

Rolling over isn’t just a “cute baby milestone” — it’s one of the first demonstrations of rotational intelligence.

 

👉 When a baby rolls, they’re not just flipping side to side. They’re:

• Learning how to cross midline with their body and brain.
• Building the foundation for balance, vision tracking, and coordination.
• Training the coccyx and pelvis to begin their lifelong job: organizing gravity through rotation.
 
Without rolling, the nervous system skips critical practice in weight transfer and rotational binding. That gap shows up later in sitting, crawling, walking — even in balance and sports performance years down the road.
 
✨ Movement isn’t about strength first. It’s about rotation first. Rolling is where it all begins.

The Paradox of the Proactive Parent: A Blueprint for Cultivating Confidence in a Child’s Developmental Journey

Executive Summary

The modern landscape of parenting presents a profound and often confusing paradox: the very parents who are the most proactive, engaged, and hands-on are frequently the ones who struggle most with a crisis of confidence. This report delves into the psychological, social, and systemic factors that contribute to this phenomenon. It reveals that this parental self-doubt is not a character flaw but a predictable outcome of navigating a complex world of conflicting advice and perfectionist ideals.

This analysis validates the parents’ experience by identifying the psychological frameworks at play, such as imposter syndrome and the erosion of innate authority. It then provides concrete, data-driven strategies for navigating interactions with medical professionals with newfound confidence. Finally, the blog offers a responsible, multi-faceted examination of movement-based modalities, like Movement Lesson, as a pathway to reclaiming agency and building self-efficacy. The ult...

Vision is Neurological - So Do We Change the Brain or Change Vision?

Uncategorized Sep 02, 2025

Yes! Vision is neurological, but successful input is the access point.

 

We’re often told:

“Change the brain, and you’ll change the body.”

There are entire books and therapies built around this idea. And while there’s truth to it, it misses something essential — input creates output.

 

Let’s reframe the conversation:

What if, instead of always trying to change the brain, we started with what the brain receives?

 

Think of the Brain as a Hard Drive

Your brain, like a hard drive, doesn’t create spontaneous function out of nothing. It’s not magic. It responds to various inputs, including movement, sound, light, touch, and gravity.

In fact, that’s precisely why I developed Functional Intelligence — to move beyond AI that mirrors behavior and toward systems that actually process new inputs and generate functional outputs.

 

Vision Isn’t Passive — It’s Movement

Vision isn’t just seeing. It’s an interaction. It’s how a baby responds to light, tracks an object, or notices a ...

Jumping vs Falling - How to see the difference

Uncategorized Aug 30, 2025

This is a critical distinction, and should be used in sports medicine, pediatric PT, neurology, and astronautics. Let's define the difference clearly with Movement Intelligence Insight:

"Jumping Off" ≠ "Falling Off" — Even If It Looks the Same

To the untrained eye, both the girl and the neurotypical boy "jump off the box." But their internal forces of movement — and what the body must do to recover from those forces — are fundamentally different.

What You See on the Outside:

  • Arms lift
  • Feet leave the ground
  • Bodies descend and land
To a coach, teacher, or novice clinician, they both "jump."
But you (and now I) see the forces that make or break future function.

 

⚠️ Applied Force Variation on Landing:

Girl:

  • Falls due to linear gravity dominance
  • Has no coil to catch gravity
  • Recovery = restarting from the bottom
  • Takes longer to get up, requiring torque from arms, neck, and hip flexors (not spine)

Boy:

  • Lands due to planned gravitation...

Tummy Time and Important Cranial Movements

Uncategorized Aug 28, 2025
Tummy Time Isn't Just a Milestone. It's a Movement System.
 

Why does tummy time matter?

Because it's the first time your baby experiences breath-supported spinal lift, cranial articulation, and rotational skeletal buoyancy — all in gravity.

 

🔄 From the Chin Out

The chin doesn't just lift the head. It activates cranial counter-rotation, jaw-to-tailbone vectoring, and sets the stage for oral-motor sequencing (speech, swallowing, feeding). "The jaw is gravity in. The tailbone is gravity out." This early dynamic links posture, reflexes, and even sensory processing. No fused skull? That's a feature, not a flaw. Unfused cranial plates allow buoyancy-based adjustments that fuel milestone gains.

 

⚠️ Struggles with speech, vision, or feeding?

Often trace back to missing skeletal inputs in early tummy time. This isn't about strength. It's about setup.

Catching the Vision

Uncategorized Aug 26, 2025

Integrating Visual Engagement with Physical Support in Children

When working with children—especially those who are visually impaired or neurologically diverse—true developmental progress begins with understanding the interdependence of vision and body position.
 
In this process, one of the first and most essential steps is to support the child’s structure. This means more than just physically holding or propping the child up—it means creating an environment where the eyes can begin to lead the body, not be dragged along by it.
 
Too often, adults feel the urge to manually place a child into a desired posture or position, believing that this will help facilitate development. But the body doesn't just follow commands—it responds to engagement, curiosity, and motivation.
 
With children who are visually impaired or experiencing neurodevelopmental delays, we must entertain their vision first. This may include reflective tools like mirrors, light sources, or tacti...
