Principles

Pain is NOT an ordinary part of life! Pain is a sign that something is needs to be addressed. Chronic pain and stiffness can be managed with the right type of movement. As long as we keep moving, our cells will continue to regenerate and can adapt and restore much of the strength, flexibility and range of motion of our younger years.

  • Techniques that focus on slow, methodical movements help to release tight muscles and rigid fascia, rebalancing the tissues that support posture.

  • Using movement to build body awareness, provides the knowledge to find our optimal posture in daily activities.

  • Building strength and flexibility supports our daily activity (functional fitness).

  • Resting and engaging in lower intensity activity provides the conditions for the body and nervous system to reset and repair.
