Body Knowledge

A 3D atlas for body psychotherapists

Click a muscle, read what it means. Pick a feeling, watch the body light up.

A working reference for practitioners of body-oriented psychotherapy. A full skeletal and muscular model renders in the browser; every muscle carries its psychological function, and the reverse screen resolves a developmental position or capacity back to the muscles that hold it. Practitioners keep their own notes on top and learn the mapping through short lessons on the body itself.

Body Knowledge on a desktop: the ego-function lens list on the left, the 3D body in the centre, the structure list on the right
The atlas: lenses on the left, the body in the middle, every structure on the right.
Body Knowledge on a phone, the 3D body filling the screen

  • Yasser

    Practitioner

    Opens it between sessions to check what a held shoulder is doing.

    Practitioner

    New to the mapping, works through the lessons in order.

7 hitos, 3 completados, 4 planificados

  1. 1

    The body renders, and a marker selects a muscle

    completados

    The spine — skeleton substrate, muscle geometry, and the marker layer that makes selection possible.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: A practitioner selects a deep muscle that cannot be seen

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in and the body is rendered
    2. When they zoom to the near tier over the pelvis
    3. And they select the marker for psoas major
    4. Then the muscle name psoas major is shown as selected
    5. And the selection succeeds even though psoas major is occluded by other muscles
  2. 2

    A selected muscle shows its psychological function

    planificados

    The main thing someone does on their first visit — pick a muscle, read what it means.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: A practitioner reads both failure directions, not one

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in
    2. And psoas major has a seeded psychological function
    3. When they select psoas major
    4. Then the capacity it serves is shown
    5. And the hypo-responsive expression is shown
    6. And the hyper-responsive expression is shown
    7. And the entry states where the claim came from
  3. 3

    The reverse screen — pick a feeling, light up the body

    planificados

    The second half of the product: developmental positions and capacities resolve to muscles on the model.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: Early and late responses light up different bodies

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in and viewing the positions screen
    2. When they select the early response of the autonomy position
    3. Then the muscles associated with that response are highlighted on the model
    4. And the muscles not associated with it are dimmed
    5. When they select the late response of the autonomy position
    6. Then a different set of muscles is highlighted
  4. 4

    Zoom reveals detail — region, group and muscle tiers

    planificados

    The map behaviour proper: coarse markers far out, finer ones as you zoom, clustering in between.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: Zooming from the whole body to one muscle

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in and viewing the whole body
    2. Then region markers are shown
    3. And individual muscle markers are not shown
    4. When they zoom in to a muscle group
    5. Then group markers are shown
    6. When they zoom in further
    7. Then individual muscle markers are shown
    8. And the legend lists the muscles currently in view
  5. 5

    The practitioner's own notes on a muscle

    planificados

    What makes it a working tool rather than a reference — the user's own observations, kept separate from ours.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: A practitioner's own entry supersedes the derived one

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in
    2. And psoas major has a derived psychological function
    3. When they author their own entry for psoas major
    4. Then their entry is shown as the current one
    5. And the derived entry is still retrievable as superseded
  6. 6

    Learning the mapping — short interactive lessons on the body itself

    completados

    Turning the atlas from something you look things up in into a course you play through, Duolingo-short and Brilliant-hands-on.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: A muscle is answered by touching it

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in and has started a lesson
    2. When they are asked which muscle carries a named capacity
    3. And they tap that muscle on the model
    4. Then the answer is marked correct
    5. And the muscle stays lit while its reading is shown
  7. 7

    The ladder — from a total beginner to fluent in the mapping

    completados

    The order the content is learned in, and the scheduling that makes it stick.

    Cómo lo comprobamos: The vocabulary comes before the muscles

    1. Given 'yasser' is signed in and has never studied
    2. When they start the course
    3. Then they are taught the ego functions and the developmental positions
    4. And no muscle step is offered yet
