In Season 2, Episode 2 of Let Me Introduce You, Jen and Adarian dive into the concept of asymmetry in movement and biomechanics. They explore the functional differences between the body’s two sides, emphasizing how these variations work together to enhance movement and survival. From defining asymmetry and addressing common misconceptions, to discussing practical applications in sports like sprinting and hurdling, this episode highlights why our natural asymmetry is essential, not a flaw to be fixed. Jen and Adarian also share insights from their recent webinar and preview upcoming events in Las Vegas, Seattle, and The Hague.
