The Body Audit

A free, guided range-of-motion test for your entire body — so you can see where you're lacking, understand what sits behind it, and know exactly how to help it.

Thirteen regions, fifty-one tests, head to foot. For each one you'll find where your range ends, what that restriction is connected to neurologically and viscerally, and a specific breath to take into it. Nothing to install, nothing to buy — twenty-five minutes and a bare floor. Your results save on this device, so you can come back in a month and see what changed.

Before you begin

How to run it on yourself

Range of motion is not a number you pass or fail. It's a reading. Take it the same way twice and the change between readings is the real information.

FIRST

Warm, not stretched

Five minutes of easy movement. Cold tissue reads short and gives you a false floor.

THEN

Move to the edge, not past it

Stop at the first firm resistance — where the body says "no further without effort." That edge is your reading.

EVERY TEST

Compare left to right

Asymmetry tells you more than absolute degrees. A 15° side-to-side gap is worth more attention than being 10° under a textbook norm on both sides.

ALWAYS

Breathe at the edge

Never hold your breath in a range test. If you can't keep breathing there, you've gone past the edge.

The foundation

Breath comes first

The diaphragm is the floor of your chest, the ceiling of your abdomen, a postural muscle, and the pump that moves lymph and venous blood back to your heart. It shares nerve roots with your neck (C3–C5) and it physically touches your liver, stomach, spleen, and the sac around your heart. When it stops moving well, everything above and below it starts guarding. Do this before the tests, and again inside every restriction you find.

Inhale 4 · Exhale 8

The 90/90 reset

  • Lie on your back, feet flat on a wall or a chair seat, hips and knees at 90°. Low back flat — no arch under it.
  • One hand on your lower ribs, one on your belly. Inhale through your nose for 4. The ribs should widen sideways and into the floor behind you. The belly rises second, not first.
  • Exhale through pursed lips for 8, all the way to empty. Feel the ribs draw down and in. That last 20% of the exhale is the part almost everyone skips.
  • Pause at empty for 2 seconds. This is where the diaphragm actually resets its resting position.
  • Five rounds. If you get lightheaded, shorten the exhale — you're blowing off CO₂ faster than you need to.

Use this same pattern — inhale into the restriction, exhale to move through it — inside every test below. Your range will change during the session. That change is the point.

Your reading

What the map is telling you

Restrictions rarely live alone. Two or more in the same chain usually means the problem isn't where you feel it.

Score a few tests above and your reading will appear here.

Stop and get seen — don't stretch through these

  • Range that was fine yesterday and is gone today, especially after a fall, collision, or impact.
  • Numbness, tingling, weakness, or electric pain running down an arm or leg.
  • Any change in bladder or bowel control, or numbness in the saddle region.
  • Neck stiffness with fever, severe headache, or light sensitivity.
  • Dizziness, visual change, slurred speech, or nausea brought on by neck extension or rotation — come out of the position immediately and stop the audit.
  • Pain that wakes you at night, unexplained weight loss, or a history of cancer with new spinal pain.

This audit is an educational self-awareness tool. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an in-person examination. The neurological and visceral correlates described here reflect segmental autonomic anatomy and traditional systems of medicine — they describe where a signal can travel, not proof of what is wrong with any given organ. If a region reads restricted or painful across several tests, bring this reading to a licensed provider.
