The webinar “Overcoming Gravity” discusses posturology, the science of how the brain and nervous system use sensory feedback from the eyes and feet to maintain posture and balance against gravity. Posture is not a conscious effort but rather the result of how the brain directs muscles to achieve equilibrium. The presentation by Jeff Moyer emphasizes the connection between postural stability, vestibular function, and the role of primitive reflexes in motor development. It also explores issues like neurological disorganization, which can affect motor coordination and performance. The importance of muscle tone and its impact on movement efficiency is highlighted, along with the relevance of posturology in understanding lower extremity injuries commonly seen in sports.

For strength coaches, understanding posturology is essential as it provides insights into optimizing an athlete’s posture, motor control, and muscle tone, which are foundational for injury prevention and enhanced athletic performance. It helps in developing holistic training programs that improve stability and functional movement.
