For Comprehension

Photo by Mourner

The person who is blocked in his back-to-front dimension will experience a corresponding postural blockage. Analysis of this stance will find the knees locked. This knee-locked attitude has become a pattern while ‘trying’ to process information and may play a role in many aspects of one’s life in addition to reading comprehension. The body has become a metaphor of the inability to integrate back and front brain functions.
