He's served on the faculties of Boulder College of Massage Therapy and Seattle Massage School and has taught Cadaver Studies for Bodyworkers at Bastyr Naturopathic University.
In this episode we discuss his new book, Trail Guide to Movement, the fact that Western society is in the midst of a movement/proprioception crisis, muscle function, ideal resting tone for muscle tissue, why there's no such thing as perfect posture, and new word...balmoture!
