Adjusting Harmonia

01/10/2026

The cuboid may be small, but it plays an important role in how the foot moves and distributes force.

Together with the surrounding joints, it helps the foot adapt smoothly during inversion, eversion, walking and running.

After an ankle sprain or other trauma to the foot, the cuboid can sometimes lose part of its normal mobility. When the lateral side of the foot no longer moves as it should, the body may begin to compensate — potentially affecting the ankle, knee, hip and even the lower back.

That is why we always assess the whole movement chain. When indicated, a precise cuboid adjustment can be an important piece of restoring better movement and function. 🦶

Some adjustments come with something extra. ✨

The response to an adjustment can look completely different from person to person. Some laugh, some cry, some take a deep breath — and others simply become quiet and deeply relaxed.

When tension begins to ease and the nervous system feels safer, the body may respond in its own unique way. There is no right or wrong reaction, and we never try to force one.

Sometimes the change is subtle. Sometimes it shows up as pure joy.

This was definitely one of those moments. ❤️

BREATHE FREELY 🫁

The ribs are designed to move as a complete system.

Posteriorly, they articulate with the thoracic spine. Anteriorly, most ribs connect through cartilage toward the sternum. For the chest to expand comfortably, the front and back need to work together.

That’s why we assess both sides of the rib cage—not only where someone feels tension. Sometimes the key is found posteriorly, sometimes anteriorly, and sometimes we need to work with both.

Supporting better movement through the whole rib cage may help breathing feel freer and the body move with less restriction.

And it’s always extra fun treating patients from Norrland. Maybe the long winters create the happiest people—always smiling, even in the middle of an adjustment. 😄

Breathe freely. Move freely.

TALUS ADJUSTMENT 🦶

The talus is a small bone with a big job.

Interestingly, it has no direct muscular attachments. Instead, it sits between the lower leg and the foot, transferring load and helping coordinate movement through the ankle.

When talus mobility is restricted, the foot may not absorb and distribute force as efficiently. That can influence how the entire kinetic chain moves—from the foot and knee to the hip and lower back.

This doesn’t mean the talus is always the cause, but it can be an important piece of the puzzle when assessing foot pain, ankle problems or movement dysfunction higher up in the body.

When the right restriction is identified, a precise talus adjustment can help restore movement and support more natural function.

Small bone. Important movement. Big difference.

POSTERIOR RIB 🫁

Good movement through the rib joints is an important part of comfortable, natural breathing.

When a posterior rib feels restricted, the body may begin to breathe in a more guarded way. A precise adjustment can sometimes help restore local movement and allow the chest to expand more freely.

Breathing is also one of the tools we use to help a stressed nervous system slow down—creating better conditions for rest, recovery and the body’s own self-regulating processes.

A quick, simple and precise adjustment that can make a surprisingly big difference.

Move better. Breathe better. Function better.

HIP RELEASE 🦴

A hip that feels compressed or restricted can sometimes respond beautifully to a carefully selected distraction technique—creating space and helping movement feel easier and more natural.

Movement matters for joint health. It helps circulate synovial fluid and supports the exchange of nutrients within the joint.

Sometimes the release is subtle. Other times, the right direction, timing and technique create that surprisingly satisfying moment when the hip suddenly feels completely different—almost magical.

It’s never about forcing the joint. It’s about assessment, precision and respecting how each individual body responds.

Create space. Restore movement. Let the body respond.

A good foot adjustment may look simple. It isn’t. 🦶

Mastering foot and ankle adjustments takes years of practice, repetition and attention to detail. It’s something we work on every day—to provide the most precise, controlled and effective input possible.

Here, we’re working with a lowered navicular position, often described clinically as a navicular drop. It may appear alongside a lowered arch, altered foot mechanics, previous ankle injuries or foot discomfort.

The navicular is only one part of the whole picture. We always assess how the foot moves, how it manages load and how it connects with the rest of the body.

When appropriate, a specific adjustment may help improve local movement and comfort—but every foot and every person requires an individual assessment.

Small bone. Precise input. Big attention to detail.

DELIVER THE GOODS ⚡️

Movement creates sensory information. Your brain uses that information to understand where your body is—and to plan the next movement.

Sensory input guides motor output. Movement then creates new sensory input. It’s a continuous loop.

When the input becomes less clear, movement may feel less controlled or coordinated. That’s why mobility and precise movement through the spine matter.

Better input. Better movement.
