COUNTERSPIRAL

When fully wound, the hands and feet form dynamic spiral structures that rotate in three dimensions. But instead of developing them to plan, we flatten them into arched levers, and we use our wrists and ankles like simple hinges. As a result, we lose most of the mobility in our hands and feet, much of the alignment in our posture, and nearly all the efficiency in our gait... The Counterspiral program aims to rehabilitate the hands and feet and complete their development. Over time, using a set of simple, targeted exercises, the program realigns the bones of the hands and feet into their intended spiral structures. Along the way, it produces consistent general improvements in physical performance and reduces the risk of chronic pain and injury.
