The Joanne Avison Podcast

Why we need to ditch Mechanisms for Magical Movements: A New Paradigm

Joanne Avison Season 4 Episode 22

In this episode Joanne and Paul explore the evolution of movement science, emphasising the non-linear, self-organising nature of human bodies. With a delightful blend of historical anecdotes, personal stories, and foundational research, they challenge the traditional biomechanical approach to human movement.

Joanne reveals how an 18th century mechanical duck offers insights into why we’ve long thought mechanically about the human body (and we all know Joanne’s NOT a fan of this approach!), while Paul passionately argues for the immense benefits of using intuitive, fascia-based movement practice over conventional exercise protocols.

PLUS, Joanne gives you a sneak peek into her yet-to-be-published book, ‘Myofascial Magic in Action’.

So listen in for a deep, thought-provoking conversation that might just change how you think about movement (and ducks) forever. Enjoy!
