Watch any sports game or step into any gym and you will see a knee-buckling in. This is surprising, as inward knee movement is seen as one of the holy grails of lower body physical therapy. In fact, it is directly connected to an Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear (ACL tear), the most extensively researched leg injury.

Medical practitioners refer to inward knee motion as knee valgus and hold the glutes accountable for not being able to keep the knee out. The link between valgus and weak glutes is not just a perception, it is an amendment. It is about as plain as the nose on your face, no questions asked.

And yet, it is entirely wrong…

This knee valgus bible gets rid of the fundamental misconceptions about knee valgus. Every physical therapist, physical therapy student, personal trainer, strength coach, fitness enthusiast or movement specialist should be familiar with the pioneering knowledge inside this book.

“Why Your Knee Caves In” will throw your entire understanding of inward knee movement upside down, in a highly digestible fashion with witty one-liners and fantastic visuals. Step by step, all the cards will be laid on the table and every detail will be meticulously explained.

A masterpiece for the ages. Free on Kindle.

“Replete with anecdotes and examples, this book is the perfect read for those curious about the wonders of the human body, and death itself.” – IndieReader Discovery Awards Review

Natural selection has been honing the human form for millions of years. During that time, our brains have enlarged, our mouths have gotten smaller, our guts have been streamlined, and we’ve inhabited every ecological niche on the globe. And although we are a single species, with bodies that are both adaptable and intellectually malleable, how we live impacts our bodies in vast and often astounding ways. It all comes down to culture.

This book explores the numerous ways our bodies are affected by culture. Why do we mutilate our teeth, tattoo our skin, bind our feet, or deform our heads? How do some of our most intriguing cultural inventions – cooking our food, transplanting organs, transfusing blood, or treating infectious disease – impact our survival?

What about some of the darker aspects of culture? Why do we bury our dead? When did cremation first take root? How did embalming evolve? What compels the act of cannibalism, necrophilia, or grave robbing? These questions provide insight into our species, for how we treat the dead speaks volumes about how we view the living.

The Body Blog celebrates the fascinating and complex processes that keep us alive and the impact of culture on our remarkable bodies. $7.00 on Kindle.

With a story that fits anatomically with sex and the creation of a baby, answer the actual question your child asks (not more) and they’ll grow in their knowledge of their own bodies. Free on Kindle.
