The Human Blueprint

At PTX we refer to the human body at perfect balance and minimal stress as the anatomical human blueprint. It is the ideal postural position where every joint has optimal stability, flexibility, and strength to withstand the demands of everyday life.

Learn more about how PTX uses this philosophy as the blueprint for your path to healing.

The Ideal Blueprint In The 3 Views

Front view (coronal plane): The body is even from right-to-left / left-to-right. The axis of the hip, knee, and ankle joints are directly aligned, with joints forming right angles (like a box). The shoulders and hips are level thus the spine maintains a centrally aligned vertical position between the pelvis up to the base of the skull.

Side view (sagittal plane): The body is even from front-to-back / back-to-front. The ear sits directly over the shoulder joint and the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle joints are vertically aligned and falling in the plumb-line (line of gravity), again the joints form right angles (like a box), with the hips in the proper tilt allowing for the spine to maintain its correct S-curve.

Bird’s-eye view (transverse plane): There is no rotation of the torso from right-to-left or left-to-right, nor is there be a rotation of the pelvic girdle in either direction. Further there is no rotation of the arms, therefore the view from the front shows only the thumb and index finger, and both hands appear even. There is no rotation of the thighs, seen by both kneecaps facing straight ahead, and also no rotation of the lower legs or ankles, as seen in the feet pointing straight ahead.

Blueprint Deviations Result In Pain

Positions which differ from good posture, or the anatomical human blueprint, result in pain, sometimes upon movement, and sometimes even while sitting or standing still. An individual whose body deviates from this ”blueprint” design has done so due to compensations or imbalances in muscular strength and flexibility. 

The source of these imbalances may be dysfunctional muscles, biomechanical compensations, habitual postures, surgery, repetitive work or sports environments, trauma, disease, improper training, and in some cases congenital abnormalities.
