Session 20 - Born To Walk, with James Earls
Finally allowed to meet our guests face to face, Anna Maria and Becky head to Bristol to meet up with and interview James Earls for his website CLICK HERE James brings us up to speed with his studies, and discusses his approach to teaching human movement from the combined knowledge of the soft tissues and the skeleton. This is a unique yet entirely sensible approach, as we often consider the tissues, if not separately, then certainly within silos or areas of expertise. Indeed this has led James to his current research in evolutionary anatomy. Through this James is deriving understanding of present day efficient movement strategies based on the evolving anatomy of our ancestors to where we are today. We discuss anthropology, the Biotensegrity model, the flaws in how anatomy is commonly taught and if our approach to learning leads therapists to want to fit clients to models, rather than the other way around. James is hosting his Born to Walk and Born to Move courses with The School later this year. For more information CLICK HERE
