Wearable IMU-based Human Activity Recognition (HAR) relies heavily on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), which are burdened by immense computational and buffering demands. Their power-hungry floating-point operations and rigid requirement to process complete temporal windows severely cripple battery-constrained edge devices. While Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer extreme event-driven energy efficiency, standard architectures struggle with complex biomechanical topologies and temporal gradient degradation. To bridge this gap, we propose the Physics-Aware Spiking Neural Network (PAS-Net), a fully multiplier-free architecture explicitly tailored for Green HAR. Spatially, an adaptive symmetric topology mixer enforces human-joint physical constraints. Temporally, an $O(1)$-memory causal neuromodulator yields context-aware dynamic threshold neurons, adapting actively to non-stationary movement rhythms. Furthermore, we leverage a temporal spike error objective to unlock a flexible early-exit mechanism for continuous IMU streams. Evaluated across seven diverse datasets, PAS-Net achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while replacing dense operations with sparse 0.1 pJ integer accumulations. Crucially, its confidence-driven early-exit capability drastically reduces dynamic energy consumption by up to 98\%. PAS-Net establishes a robust, ultra-low-power neuromorphic standard for always-on wearable sensing.
