Healthy Habits and Remedial Movements
These videos offer simple, repetitive Healthy Habit De-Stressors that may help return major muscle groups toward a more balanced state.
I suggest learning these remedial movements and repeating them periodically throughout your day in comfortable 15-to-30-second intervals.
Balance is at the core of health
Reflecting on our early education, many of us could have benefited from information about our ongoing relationship with gravity, our built-in systems for maintaining balance, and how to respond constructively when pain appears.
With a better understanding of these foundational principles, we have more opportunities to make healthy choices as we move through life.
Dis-ease can be understood, in part, as an accumulation of stressful imbalances. Here, our focus is the muscular system and the role movement can play in restoring healthier relationships.
Balance is at the core of health.
