What if the body was never designed to localise force the way modern training does? What if it was designed to distribute it? That changes everything. Because suddenly the body stops looking like isolated muscles pulling isolated bones… and starts looking more like an interconnected system constantly sharing tension, adapting load and responding as a whole. It also starts to explain a lot of modern movement problems. why people can get stronger yet feel stiffer why tension keeps shifting around the body why one area is always taking the hit or chronically tight why feet, breathing and gait mechanics matter so much more than most people realise why rehab programs that focus only on the troublesome areas never work long term A functional system doesn’t unnecessarily dump stress into one tissue over and over again. It shares load. But many modern environments do the opposite. Shoes disconnect us from the ground forces Linear training reduces rotational variability (our biomechanical blueprint) Chronic sitting remove the need for dynamic support and force transfer Over time, the body often becomes more rigid, less responsive and less capable of efficiently distributing force throughout the structure. Clients often say things like ‘I’ve got strong glutes’ or ‘I can lift heavy’ ‘but why does my lower back hurt and why am I having X problems’. Because the body isn’t just about producing force in one area. True strength and resilience comes from how well it can distribute it. Book: Anatomy Trains by Tom Myers

Your back pain might not be your back… it’s your glutes going offline.

When you sit for long hours, your glute muscles stop activating the way they should. Over time, your body “forgets” how to use them efficiently—a phenomenon often called gluteal amnesia.

Now here’s the problem: your glutes are supposed to be the main engine for hip movement. When they shut down, that load gets transferred to your lower back. The small muscles in your lumbar spine start overworking, trying to do a job they weren’t designed for. That’s where the stiffness, fatigue, and deep aching pain begin.

This isn’t just weakness—it’s a coordination failure. Turn the glutes back on, and you take pressure off the spine where it doesn’t belong.

That constant stiffness.

The one that never fully goes away.

Chronic inflammation isn’t always obvious. But it changes how your body feels and functions daily.

At a cellular level, it’s a cellular response that doesn’t switch off.
​
Red light therapy supports the shift from a pro-inflammatory state to a regulated one by influencing immune cell behaviour and cytokine signalling.

Less noise in the system.
More capacity to recover.
