Movement Training

Movement is so important for health, fitness, and wellness. We need to move every day, in every way. This capacity can be lost with aging or illness. It is lost more quickly when we sit for long periods in our day. If you exercise for an hour a day and sit for seven hours, you are still sedentary by nature, and your overall daily movement may be considered “light” in terms of total activity level.

Let me show you how to get moving and move more. Move better, feel better and look better!

We often feel like our muscles are stiff and want to stretch them out. However, we often need to strengthen underperforming muscles (flexibility) as well as stretch them (mobility).

Flexibility

• is the passive length of a muscle or muscle group. Flexibility can be demonstrated actively by contracting and extending a muscle to its entire length.

Stretching focuses on flexibility or muscle length.

Mobility

• Movement of a muscle or muscle group includes not only flexibility but also joint motion, control at the end range of the muscle movement, ligament, tendon, and fascia movement, and neuro-dynamics (nerve-guided motion).

Mobility focuses on the movement and strengthening of all these components.
