the problem isn't pain... how we’ve been trained to think about pain is mostly wrong and I’m here to share another perspective. so many people [myself included sometimes] are focused on getting rid of their pain. as if the pain is only there to cause a problem and it needs to be erased. but by erasing the pain we’re removing a pivotal tool and essential communication role embedded in our fascial system. because pain is one way of our bodies can tell us about ourselves. pain is language, it is...

your psoas + your fascia one of the biggest take-aways I hope you get from reading the things I share is that everything is connected thru the fascial system. we are not separate parts assembled together like a car. rather all of our parts are grown out of one seed like a plant. we grow within the the fascial system and the fascia is continually adjusting, organizing, supporting and connecting all of our parts. so when we’re in pain or feeling strong or unbalanced or just going through the...

how to stop borrowing movement guess what? since borrowing movement is a habit we’ve gotten ourselves into, that means it’s also a habit we can get ourselves out of. but how? with subtle shifts. a subtle shift is the tiny most adjustment you can possible make to work towards moving how you were designed to. so tiny it would be almost un-noticeable to an observer. subtle shifts are a long game. they thrive on simplicity and consistency. think sustainability over speed. creating those subtle...

your brain loves to borrow movement borrowing movement isn’t ideal for our physical body but our brain loves to do it. why does the brain love to borrow? because our brain is mostly focused on two things. 1. ‘what we’re trying to accomplish’ and 2. the most efficient way to do it. but efficient isn’t the same as effective. this is where borrowing comes in. the brain will utilize whatever movement requires the least amount of time, energy, effort from us. it just wants the job done + to move...

are you borrowing movement? last week we chatted about the three A’s in redesigning your fascial system today we’re chatting about a fourth piece of that puzzle…borrowing movement. borrowing movement is when we use parts of our body to do jobs they weren’t really designed for, also known as compensating. example: I have a pattern of lifting with my mid back rather than my legs + butt 🙃 borrowing movement is a very common habit we can get ourselves into if we’re not applying the three A’s. it...

the three A's of redesigning your fascia the three A’s of redesigning your fascial system: awareness: paying attention to what your sensory and nervous systems are telling you adjustment: find subtle shifts you can make in response to what your sensory and nervous systems are asking for allowance: giving your self the space to be human, to forget, to ‘not get it right’ and to still be learning none of these need any fancy tools or gadgets. they can be taken absolutely anywhere you go. they...

beneficial movement we were designed to move. from the fascial system storing, releasing and distributing energy to our upright body position to our ability to sweat and even how our chemical signaling operates. it’s all proof that we were designed to move however not all movement is beneficial. beneficial movement happens when we are moving in alignment with how we were designed to. what is that alignment you ask?? after years of moving in ways that was not how I was designed I got fed up...

backward logic of tension here’s a little backwards logic brought to you by nature. when muscles, bones or body parts feel sticky, tight and tense we tend to immediately think those are signs to stop using those areas. but the truth is, more often than not, loading and using these areas actually helps them become less sticky, tight and tense. our bodies - your body, is made for moving and doing. from the tiniest cellular pieces to organs to bodily systems and the fascial system, they all...
