#537: Mobility Coach Conor O Shea on Five Essential Movements for Pain-Free Living, Plantar Fasciitis and The Myths and Realities of Flexibility Training!


Listen Later

Conor O Shea is a mobility coach.

He is also the host of the Strong For Life podcast and with over 230k followers on Instagram, he helps people over 30 feel a decade younger whilst moving pain free.

He spent most of his 20s struggling with chronic pain that affected him so badly at times I considered leaving the fitness industry because he was worried, I couldn't do his job anymore.

He left Ireland in 2013 and sought out the best coaches in the world. He learned from the yogis in Mysore and the best callisthenics, mobility and flexibility coaches who were super fit in their 50s and 60s.

He began to understand that his body was riddled with injuries and how to rebuild himself from the ground up.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's show:

· Five essential movements include squats, ground sitting, and toe touching.

· Chronic pain can be addressed through consistent mobility practices.

· Ground sitting is a simple yet effective daily practice.

· Environmental design can encourage more movement throughout the day.

· Flexibility training should be strength-focused to avoid injuries.

· Common complaints include low back, knee, and shoulder issues.

· Strengthening the back and stretching the front can alleviate many problems.

· Mobility practices should be integrated into daily routines.

· Injury management requires working around pain to maintain strength. Mobility and flexibility are crucial for long-term health.

· Injury management should prioritise alternatives to surgery.

· The psychology of injury plays a significant role in recovery.

· Rebuilding strength after injury is essential for recovery.

· Pain can be a signal of adaptation, not always harm.

· Foot health is vital, especially for runners and active individuals.

· Supportive footwear and foot exercises can help with plantar fasciitis
