    • 5-Pandemic, Protests and Riots: Let's All Breathe Again
      When I,  a 52 your old black man living in New York,  hear one brother plead, "I can’t breathe", suddenly,  I can’t breathe. I literally  and figuratively feel pressure on my neck,  chest and back. My ability to fight or flee become restricted, as if something or someone  were binding my legs. 
      If I am feeling like this, I know others are feeling like this pressure. How can you play, perform or fully function throughout the day if you are only taking partial breaths?
       I wanted to take this time, although brief, and get myself and everyone to breathe deeply again.
      - Breathing relaxes you
      - Breathing helps you focus/concentrate
      - Breathing eases muscle tension/fatigue
      - Breathing decreases his anxiety and catastrophizing events
      - Breathing helps to balance your blood ph
      - Breathing improves your training and athletic performance
      - Hopefully, this Let's All Breathe Again podcast will remind us that we are all connected in some way, shape or metaphysical fashion.
      Let’s breathe again!

      • 3- Stretching 4 Drummers: 4 Components to a “Tight“ Stretching Program
        Show Notes
        You practice so that you can play better. You stretch so you can become more flexible for playing. But are you getting the most bang for your buck with your stretching program? Are you stretching consistently? Are you performing the right stretches at the right time? Are you helping or hindering your drumming performance.
        Stretching can be complicated, but building your own stretching  program, specific to your style of drumming, does not have to be.
        In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know to build your individualized,  tight stretching program. 
        Topics:
        Why it is important to stretch?
        How do most drummers learn about stretching?
        The 4 steps to building your specialized stretching program.

      • 2- Breath Work & Drumming: Maintaining Your Tempo & Improving Control
        Before you pick up your sticks, berimbau, clave or any percussion instrument ---- breathe.
        Breathing is indeed fundamental and paramount to your precision, agility and concentration. 
        In this episode, we discuss:
        Part I: Why Drummers Need to Breathe Properly for Improved Performance
        Part 2: What Kind of Breather Are You?
        Part 3: Building Your Breath Work Chops
        10 min
      • 1- What is Drumming Physical Therapy?
        Drummers (and by “drummers”, I mean all “percussionists”) are an unrepresented community who often find it difficult finding high-quality care specific to their injury, instrument and  individual needs.
        🛑 Stop wasting time ⏰ and money 💰 going back-and-forth between multiple doctors and clinicians that don’t truly understand your complex drumming pain 🤕 or particular needs. Don’t settle for cookie-cutter exercises that are not pertinent to your drumming instrument or style.
        🎯 My mission is to bring my knowledge and experience (23 years physical therapist, 22 years strength and conditioning coach, 38 years drummer ) to you so you can  play with increased comfort, control and confidence.
        OUR GOALS
        1) Decrease your pain, discomfort, injury or movement dysfunctions.
        2) Improve your overall drumming fitness.
        3) Avoid future injury.
        OUR CLIENTS
        Strikers, slappers, shakers and scrapers. From trap set to timbalies, bongo to berimbau, kettle drums to kalimbas. All are welcome! ✌🏿🤙🏿✊🏾🤝Find out more @ MovEVolution.com
