Hack the Spine logo

Practical mechanics for a long, strong life — from a 12-story fall to decades of self-tuning.

The premise

At nineteen I jumped from a cliff to grab a tree, which snapped in two. I fell twelve stories and lived. The rehab never really ended. Over decades I learned to self-adjust, balance, and train the frame so I could work, run, and feel young. Hack the Spine distills what actually worked: simple, repeatable mechanics and habits.

What you’ll learn

How to read your structure, make micro-adjustments, build resilient posture, and use lightweight daily practices to stay pain-light and power-ready.

Read an excerpt

Start with Chapter 0 and a short field guide to stretching and balancing oneself against the menaces of gravitational pull and traumatic misalignment.

Methods, not magic

Pragmatic tools only. I cross-reference each tactic with logs and real-world methods. This also ties into another article about weight management for optimal health, happiness and performance.
