Redefining Movement

The position of the pelvis is fundamentally important for the alignment of the spine, all the way up into the skull. It forms the basis for our movement patterns and for our energy levels, and that’s why today’s episode is all about creating and maintaining a neutral pelvis.

Today's podcast is about what we can learn from professional athletes.

Today's podcast is about what we can learn from professional athletes. Athletes are so fascinating to observe because of the discipline involved when working to be one of the best or the most elite in your sport. They can also teach us a lot about the power of drive and determination and inspire us to think about the potential of our own bodies. For instance, what would happen if we put a little bit more effort and energy into our own movement and aspirations of being more physically fit? Another thing we can learn from athletes is more of a what not to do. Many athletic endeavors are just too demanding to do long term, and there’s such a big difference from that high level of performance to being retired. Whatever we're doing, we want it to be sustainable so that we don’t injure ourselves or experience burnout.

This episode is all about managing physical, emotional and mental stress.

Today’s podcast is all about stress. Whether it’s physical, mental or emotional, stress is not a bad thing per se. It helps us to be motivated and get things done. If we didn’t put any stress on our bodies or our minds, we wouldn’t grow stronger or improve. But it’s also easy to get too stressed, and sometimes that point of overwhelm can come on quite quickly. Too much stress can lead to injury, illness or fatigue. In this episode I cover how to manage stress so that it doesn’t become overwhelming or cause health problems.

Today's episode is what to do about over-developed or, as I like to think of them, over activated muscles.

Today's episode is what to do about over-developed or, as I like to think of them, over activated muscles. I get a lot of questions, particularly about the upper trapezius and the latissimus dorsi, otherwise known as the traps and the lats.  As always, share this with friends, especially anyone who has been complaining about neck or shoulder tightness.
