The Physics of the Pelvic Floor (Men, you also have a Pelvic Floor).
The concept of down. The apple tree that sits in the English orchard of Woolsthorpe Manor may be the most famous tree in the world. Sir Isaac Newton pondered about the concept of down after being hit by an apple under this tree in the 17th Century. Scientific folklore has questioned whether he was actually hit by an apple or simply observed it falling. Whatever the case, gravity was defined and so was the foundation of classical physics.

Can you imagine the ability to elicit healing mechanisms that improve tissue damage and functional outcomes through a manual therapy technique? By briefly occluding the arterial supply of tissues at specific points throughout the body, we can protect and promote the integrity of the tissues using the body’s own natural mechanistic defenses. This method of occlusion is termed Ischemic Conditioning (IC).
Over the past 30 years, medical research has shown and proven that occluding blood flow using IC can improve tissue damage by 30–60% in many tissue types…
