" A journey of thousand miles begins with one single step " Lao Tzu

My mission is to empower the client's with the knowledge to balance their health, prevent injury, succeed in late-stage rehab effectively, and perform in life and sport. As a CHEK Professional, Giovanni specialises in Corrective exercise and holistic health and Strength and Conditioning. This approach assists the client to prevent injury, succeed in late-stage rehabilitation and effectively re-balance their health and wellness to perform optimally in life and sport. EAT -MOVE -SLEEP -FLOW

Giovanni’s times with you the client starts with a precise physiological and postural musculoskeletal assessment, this steps can be done either in person or remotley. He believes that different body types, gender, history of history lifestyle and personality impacts the strategy taken towards re-balancing the health of each individual. No matter what issues a client seeks to overcome or the goals they want to achieve, creating a comprehensive profile of the client’s situation is, for Giovanni in his approach, crucial to determine the cause and to create a tailored program to heal and prevent injury, overcome ailments, re-balance health, and improve performance when subsequently undertaking amateur or professional sport.

I believe this book has been an invaluable preparation.
For what?
For everything — for the life ahead, and for the journey I’m walking today.
Thank you, Gio

Lowering the cable anchor to the lowest setting forces your body into a better activation pattern.
When you reach down and across, you create a natural stretch through:
• the glute of your standing leg
• the lat on the opposite side
This stretch‑tension combo helps your glute switch on more effectively during the movement.
A tiny adjustment — a big difference in activation.
Thank you, Gio

At the end of the day, we’re all responsible for our choices.
When someone says

“I can’t,” what they often mean is “It’s not a priority for me right now.”

And that’s completely fine — as long as you’re not feeling miserable about getting the opposite results from the ones you want.

Food is the fuel for your body.

If you’re not eating nutrient‑dense foods or getting the right amount of calories for your lifestyle, then low energy, weight gain, muscle loss, dizziness, and poor recovery shouldn’t be a surprise.

It’s like driving a Ferrari and wondering why it’s underperforming when you’re filling it with the cheapest 91 unleaded.

Your body works the same way.

WHAT YOU PUT IN IS WHAT YOU GET OUT

Thank you, Gio

Everyone asked why this jelly sets so quickly — here’s the secret.

I use frozen berries and room‑temperature coconut cream.

So as soon as you pour the cream into the hot water (where the gelatin has dissolved), the temperature drops instantly.

Then when you pour that mix over the frozen berries, it drops even further — and the jelly starts setting almost straight away.

I do the same with juices:
I leave the juice in the freezer for about 4 hours so that when I pour it into the hot gelatin mix, it begins setting immediately.

Fast. Simple. Fool‑proof.

Thank you, Gio

The temporoparietalis is a thin, often overlooked muscle that sits just above the ear.

Not everyone has it, and in most people it’s barely active — but it’s still an interesting part of our anatomy.

🔍 Origin
It comes from the temporal fascia and connective tissue above the ear.
🎯 Insertion
It attaches into the galea aponeurotica, the broad sheet of fascia covering the top of the skull.
⚡ Action
• Helps tighten the scalp
• Can assist in lifting the ear, but only in people who can wiggle their ears
• In most humans, this action is minimal or vestigial
💉 Blood Supply
It receives blood from the superficial temporal artery and the posterior auricular artery.

A tiny muscle — variable, often forgotten, but anatomically unique.
Thank you, Gio

Weston A. Price observed that many traditional cultures treated fish roe as a sacred food — especially for fertility, pregnancy, and strong early development.

And it makes sense. Fish roe is one of the most nutrient‑dense foods available, packed with vitamins A and D, omega‑3s, and minerals that support teeth, bones, hormones, and overall vitality.

You’re probably familiar with caviar or the bright orange fish eggs in sushi, but those are just a couple of the ways this delicious, highly nutrient‑dense food is enjoyed. Fish roe shows up in coastal cultures all over the world:
• Japanese Karasumi
• French Poutargue (or Boutargue)
• Spanish Huevas de mújol
• Taiwanese (Hokkien) O‑hî‑tsí — which I actually bought last year while travelling through Taiwan

Here on the East Coast of Australia, it’s summer, so mullet roe isn’t easy to find. But once autumn arrives, you’ll see it again — just ask your local fisherman. In Italian we call the cured version bottarga, especially bottarga di muggine, and it’s surprisingly simple to make at home.

🧂 How I Cure Fresh Mullet Roe
• Pat the fresh roe dry with paper towels
• Lay a thick layer of fine sea salt in a glass container
• Place the roe on top and cover it completely with more salt
• Press the salt gently and cover the container with a cotton cloth
• Leave it for 24–72 hours
• Remove from the salt and wipe off any residue with slightly damp paper towels
• Air‑dry for around 72 hours, covered with a mesh

🍽️ How to Enjoy It
• Shaved into a warm broth
• On toasted bread or crackers with butter
• Or simply sliced thin — my favourite
Simple. Ancestral. Nutrient‑dense. And absolutely delicious.

Thank you, Gio

Is this the ultimate truth?
No — but it is a solid general rule in both rehabilitation and sport.
Training movement is essential, but training muscles also matters, especially when certain muscles become downregulated due to postural misalignment or joint irritation.
When a joint becomes painful or irritated, the body responds through two key sensory systems:
• Pain activates nociceptors (⚡ pain receptors — they signal threat).
• Joint irritation disrupts mechanoreceptors (🎛️ movement/pressure sensors — they guide proprioception and motor control).
• Together, they trigger arthrogenic muscle inhibition, reducing activation of nearby muscles to protect the joint.
This is why in rehabilitation the process often looks like:
1. Realign the joint 🔧
2. Re‑activate the downregulated muscles 🔌
3. Reintegrate those muscles back into the full movement pattern 🔄
That’s how you restore stability, function, and long‑term resilience.
But in life and sport, training movement is usually the most effective approach.
The nervous system doesn’t organise isolated muscles — it organises patterns.
Real‑world performance depends on integrated, coordinated actions, not single‑muscle contractions.
Take surfing, for example. 🏄‍♂️
The foundational movement patterns are:
• squat 🧍‍♂️
• pull 🪢
• push 🤜
• twist 🔁
• bend ➡️
Using these as reference points in a surfer’s program helps build a strong, functional foundation that transfers directly into the water.
Train the pattern.
Rehabilitate the muscle.
Integrate both.

Our teeth are the most visible part of our skeletal system — and one of the clearest reflections of our internal, overall health.

This may sound like I’m repeating myself, but it’s true:

we are made of what we eat.
And the reason I keep talking about food is simple:

out of all the things you can do for your health, food is the one thing you cannot replace.
You can’t out‑supplement it, out‑train it, or out‑hack it.

I’m still amazed at how confused we’ve become about this simple fact.

We always knew it… until we didn’t.

This short video is inspired by the work of Weston A. Price, reminding us that nutrition, structure, and health are deeply connected — and always have been.

Just to give you a bit of background — the reason I’m making these anatomy videos is simple: I’m learning anatomy.
And one of the best ways for me to learn isn’t just reading or researching…
it’s presenting the material, explaining it in front of people, and actually applying it.
So through this journey, I’ll be sharing not only the presentation itself, but also:
• interesting facts about each anatomy topic
• simple mobilisations
• self‑massage techniques
• training applications
• rehabilitative considerations
• and any other useful or surprising details I come across
This video is about the occipitofrontalis muscle — a structure that plays a big role in facial expression and scalp movement.

🌊 If you want to surf more often and recover faster, start with the basics.

Three things make the biggest difference in how often you can surf — and how good you feel doing it:

1. Good‑quality food
Your tissue, energy, and recovery all come from what you eat.

2. Rest
A real 8 hours (or more), ideally between 9:30 pm and 6 am, when your body naturally repairs.

3. Base aerobic fitness
Not intensity — just the aerobic foundation that helps you recover between sessions so you can surf more consistently.

And because food is the easiest place to start, here’s a simple, nourishing recipe.

---

🍓 Fastest Jelly You’ll Ever Make

- 1 can (400 ml) coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 ½ cups frozen mixed berries
- 2 ½ tbsp beef gelatine

Warm the coconut cream on low heat.
Add gelatine and vanilla, whisk until dissolved.
Place frozen berries in your container.
Pour the warm mixture over the berries.
Refrigerate — it sets quickly thanks to the frozen fruit.

Simple. Fast. Nourishing.
