dear mulberry,
As far as I have understood, this model is being used as a hypothesis behind various clinical applications. I have read articles about Wikipedia reference-linkscoliosis treatment, taping and of course all the connective tissue techniques being "explained" with the use of this model.
There is a lot of literature on this subject to be found. I think it is appreciated because it provides a possible mechanical explaination as to how therapy might influence the body.

If you want to know more and discuss this with others have a look at what your colleagues at somasimple: the so simple body, a place for physical therapy have to say about it.
