It's all about the second "M" phase of the P.U.M.M.P. Process for enhanced mobility, and Pete isn't slowing down!  In this episode, Pete talks about the other side of the mobility coin.  Restricted tissue is always the focus, but what about the tissue that isn't overactive, but the opposite?  How is that impacting our movement quality?  Pete sets the stage with a scientific refresher on aspects that mitigate appropriate muscle contraction and ties it together by demonstrating how these components can be just as harmful to movement if they are left unchecked.  In typical fashion, Pete walks you through a technique that can address this hinderance and start you on the way to better muscle balance and improved movement quality.
