The Covert Art of Observation: Unveiling Hidden Truths

Unlock the Secrets

PEOPLE WATCHING from a distance unveils invaluable insights into humanity's diverse tapestry. By keenly observing individuals, one gains access to a wealth of unspoken narratives woven into their physical structures. Moreover, this practice fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness that defines us all.

Walking Biographies

A person's gait and posture serve as a walking biography, offering glimpses into their life experiences and emotional landscapes. The way they carry themselves, whether upright or slouched, can reveal glimpses of their self-confidence, resilience, or burdens they bear. Consequently, these subtle cues provide a window into the structural integrity of their inner selves.

What Catches Your Eye?

Ultimately, PEOPLE WATCHING is a multifaceted art form that challenges us to question:

What are we observing?

•  Head - Neck - Jaw —  forward - tilted to one side - rotated off the centerline
•  Shoulders — slumped/rounded - one higher - scaps popped
•  Arms — swinging or locked at the side - one side forward - elbows
•  Torso — twisted with distortions - caved in on one side - kyphosis/lordosis
•  Pelvis — obliquity higher on one side - rotated - locked - not underneath the shoulders
•  Lower Extremities — knees, ankles, feet - limp - rotations
•  Speed and Symmetry — walking fast or slow - deliberate - overall left/right symmetry
•  Inflammation — obvious swelling

By honing this skill, learning to see and register all of this in 30 seconds will empower you and make you a more confident, competent and ultimately better practitioner.
