Reflexes and More
Blog Posts 2010-2015
Welcome to Movement Matters! We can talk about anything we like in this blog, because there is nothing that is not movement. Very little of the universe is solid, and none of it stands still. Scientists are now telling us that the physical world - tables, chairs, apples, oranges, our own bodies, even our planet Earth – is just a series of wave forms that move slowly enough for us to sense them.
