Why practice torso movement? We can appreciate what we take from it, looking at the body (hardware), what we can do (apps), and how we move (the operating system).

A) Hardware: what is the primary physical adaptation? Mobility in the torso, especially in smaller segments. Don’t forget that all of the big ranges of motion are built up from smaller segments. Addressing a small segment means improving the many larger ranges that include that segment (vice versa doesnt work the same way)z

B) Applications: what movements become possible after such work? First, it allows you to work with improvisation by building up elaborate systems.

It also delivers very important sub-processes : the small separation allows you to recruit more segments in kinetic chains, contributing to better force transmission.

C) Operating system: what effect does it have on how we move? It develops movement quality. For example, the ability to smoothen movements, to dynamically adjust the level of tension necessary to achieve an outcome while maintaining details and standards.
