Gravity is one of the great organizing principles of our world. Our well-being depends, in part, on our ability to adapt to it. Unlike animals, we face the challenge of carrying our weight upright on a relatively unstable two-point base. This skyward orientation requires more sophisticated support and adaptability.

Evolution has seen to it that most of us are born with the prerequisites for a body that is well integrated into the gravitational field - that is, a body that carries its weight close to a central vertical axis. If we put our bodies to dynamic, non-repetitive use, most of us would enjoy good structural integration. But the way we live does not respect the integrity of the body's structures. The working world has most of us sitting at desks, making small, repetitive motions. Add to this the problem that many of us use our musculo-skeletal architecture inefficiently. Inappropriate body use creates structural and functional imbalances. When the body gets out of alignment, gravity becomes a destructive force. Its constant downward pull causes the imbalances to set and worsen over time.
