📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot
You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:
- Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
- The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
- The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.
Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.
Body Scan with Movement
Positions & Range of Motion
- Start
- supine and fully supported, body relaxed with arms resting at the sides, attention ready to move sequentially through body regions (feet → legs → pelvis → trunk → arms → head)
- End
- same relaxed supine posture, pausing at each region for 30-60 s of interoceptive attention followed by a gentle micro-movement of that region (toe wiggle, ankle circle, pelvic rock)
- Range of Motion
- minimal — small isolated micro-movements at each region within a largely still, restful supine hold (near-isometric)
How to Perform
Sustained mindful interoceptive attention directed sequentially through body regions (feet → legs → pelvis → trunk → arms → head), combined with gentle micro-movements at each region (toe wiggle, ankle circle, pelvic rock).

Coaching Cues
- 1
Pause at each region for 30–60 s — note what you notice without changing it
(verbal) - 2
Then move that region gently and notice the change

Evidence-Based Dosing & EMG Data
10–20 minutes per session, 3–5×/week.
Muscles Involved (0)
No muscles linked.
Easier Variations ↓
Static Body Scan
Drop the movement; just direct attention.
Harder Variations ↑
Body Scan + Breath Pacing
Sync the body-region transitions with slow inhale/exhale.
Research Notes
MBSR-style body scan with added movement. Strongest chronic-pain evidence for MBSR overall: SMD −0.76 for pain intensity at 8 weeks, weekly 90–120 min sessions [Zhu 2025 J Psychosom Res; Price & Weng 2020].
