About this episode
Joanne explores the limitations of biomechanical models in understanding human movement.
Why lever mechanics don’t explain human movement. In this episode, Joanne explores the limitations of the biomechanical idea that joints act as simple levers. Drawing on fascia science and anatomical observation, she explains why the human body cannot be accurately understood through linear mechanical models. Many traditional explanations of movement rely on engineering concepts such as levers, pin joints, and mechanical chains. But living bodies are not built like machines! Joanne describes ...
