Movement Matters for Your Feet

Movement Matters

Less is more

Less workouts, more practice.

Less assuming, more observing.

Less judgment, more curiosity.

Less conforming, more exploring.

Less passive, more active.

Less quantity, more quality.

"Speed is the enemy of sensitivity" Tom Mayers

An ah ha moment..all so frequently in sessions you hear me say , slow down, but why?

When we move quickly, we fall into engrained movement patterns which are so familiar and have helped us get by for so long, but is the familiar truly optimal.

That is what we are asked to explore in somatic movement sessions. Movement can change. If we become aware, pay attention, move slowly, and play, as we did as babies we vary our movement options so the brain can perceive the differences and open a pathway to ease and less pain.

Knowledge Matters: Lower Back Pain

Stuart McGill is a distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Waterloo and the chief scientific officer at Backfitpro where he specializes in evaluating complex cases of lower back pain from across the globe. In this episode, Stuart engages in a deep exploration of lower back pain, starting with the anatomy of the lower back, the workings of the spine, the pathophysiology of back pain, and areas of vulnerability. He challenges the concept of nonspecific back pain, emphasizing the importance of finding a causal relationship between injury and pain. Stuart highlights compelling case studies of the successful treatment of complex cases of lower back pain, reinforcing his conviction that nobody needs to suffer endlessly. He also covers the importance of strength and stability, shares his favorite exercises to prescribe to patients, and provides invaluable advice for maintaining a healthy spine.
