A balance of three-dimensional spirals
The perspective of Spiraldynamik^® as exemplified by the foot.

The majority of movements in Qigong and Taijiquan are of a circular or spiralling nature. Spiraldynamik® shows how these movements are determined by the anatomy of the human body and how they are necessary for its optimal functioning. Danièle-Claude Martin explains the method’s approach and, taking the example of the foot, shows how posture and “rooting” are affected by the various spiral forces in the foot and in the connection between foot and leg.
