Stop Your Joints from Popping: How to Create Stability to Align Your Body


Listen Later

This episode is more than what you think.

Yes, it's tactical – but it also delivers a little tough love that you need to hear.

I get honest with the fact that if you're experiencing joint popping in your movement practice it's a sign that you should stop doing that exercise.

Let's cut to the chase – you're not going to make backward progress by not doing an exercise that isn't appropriate for your body right now. Joint popping is your body's way of telling you that something is misaligned.

But there are a few things you can do to realign your body so you can get back to doing the movement that you love.

In this episode, I detailed WHAT causes joint popping and the one thing you need to do to avoid it all: create stability.

(Creating stability in the body comes from incorporating fascia-focused movement. This allows you to naturally improve the alignment of your body.)
