The hardest people for me to help are the ones that aren't moving on a regular basis. Today, I speak with my podcast producer, Tony, about why inactivity leads to all sorts of other problems downstream and why it's so important to maintain a regular movement practice. I discuss some of the main causes of inactivity, from pain and injury to sedentary lifestyles, and dig into some core concepts like the movement box and the pain vortex, that can help us understand what happens when your movement has been compromised. I also discuss how to approach injuries, some common myths and misconceptions around healing from injury, the use of "crude touch" and other non-intuitive methods to help with pain and mobility, why motivation is less effective than habit, why I no longer use the functional movement screen, and more.
Thank you to my podcast producer and coach, Tony Fowler (Instagram: @tone_reverie) for helping me put together this episode!
