Eric and Glenn host another guest from Australia in today’s episode.  After another round of Where in the Whorld and a few stories from Eric’s childhood, the guys welcome Chloe George from New South Wales Police Force, Australia.  Glenn saw Chloe present at IAFS, where her presentation on phalange pattern classification won best Oral (Presentation).  Chloe introduces a system of phalange pattern classification first described by Marie Ploetz-Radmann in 1937.  She walks us through the system and the 12 general pattern types in phalanges and then also shares her personal data and testing that she performed.

Episode 267- Chloe George Interview - Research on Phalange Patterns

I am excited to present this class which integrates foot movements into our daily somatic movements.  I believe it's very important to integrate floor movements into standing and walking. To effectively change inefficient and restrictive patterns we need to experience integrating our feet into full body movement patterns. The first half of the class is done in standing. It starts with an assessment of our feet including weight bearing and postural issues. We integrated foot movements into spinal flexion and extension, lateral flexion, and rotation. We did some special movements for increasing ankle flexibility and stability. The second half of the class was about waking up our feet from sitting since so much of our life is in front of a computer, TV, or other sedentary activities. We ended as we began with our assessment in standing so we could compare the changes from the beginning and at the end. I hope you watch this video many times.
