Have you noticed that as we get older we start saying things like "I have a pain in my shoulder, back and knee, it must be my age"
Well here's a question: Do we move more or less when we get older? Do we sit more or less when we get older? Do we move our bodies more or less in multiples planes of movement as we get older? The short answer is less and in some cases not at all so we can only expect to get physical pain.
We're not designed to sit for hours on end in cars, office chairs, sofas and trains, so our problems has been our own undoing.
Thank about this: How can it be that we're straining our muscles reaching for a stapler or the kettle. It's mind boggling how bad we've become.
So if we want to move better with pain free movements we're gonna have to do the reverse of what we're been taught.
This all starts with something called the Kinetic Chain, it's a chain that made up of every joint in our body. If one part of the chain is faulty it will affect all the other parts of the chain.
So, in order to move better we are going to have to win the kinetic chain battle. Tomorrow I'll through how to do this.
