What this is
A GigHz Labs experiment: a structured exercise database where each movement carries an evidence rating tied to a specific goal — pain, posture, strength, function.
It is a reference and lookup tool, not a program generator and not a coaching product. The question it answers is narrow on purpose: for this goal, what is supported, and what is mostly marketing?
Why it matters
- Fitness content is noisy, and claims spread faster than the evidence behind them.
- Goal mismatch is the common failure: popular routines that do not match the outcome the person actually wants.
- A clean structured library reduces trial and error.
Honest limitations
- Ratings are directional, not absolute truth.
- Individual anatomy, injury history and technique still decide the outcome.
- Evidence evolves, so the ratings require ongoing maintenance rather than a one-time build.
What it is not
Not physical therapy. Not diagnosis or treatment. It cannot replace a clinician, and it is not built to.
