James Earls — author of Born to Walk — talks to us about an important part
of the movement conversation: fascia and bipedalism. Fascia is the 3-D
spider web of fibrous, gluey, and wet proteins that hold our bones all
together in their proper placement (from Anatomy Trains, go here for more
details). Bipedalism, as I'm sure you know, is the act of locomoting
upright on two legs. In our conversation, we explore James' fascinating
knowledge on movement efficiency and how we may have evolved through
walking.
Episode Breakdown:
* How James got into this work
* Fascia being ignored for 2k years
* What is tensgrity?
* Why do dogs seem to move so easily?
