What is "physical rationality"?

It's a new coinage, so the term isn't well-defined. On the other hand here are reasons to use the term.

On key aspect of "physical rationality" is a strong alignment between your own physical body and your own map of it. An absence of conflicts between system I and system II when it comes to physicality.

So I suppose things like the Alexander Technique, possibly Yoga, certain martial arts and sports might be implicated?

I don't know all influences in this particular case but it's certainly that direction. There was a reference to the book "A Guide to Better Movement" by Todd Hargrove.
