A Strong, Flexible, Pain-Free Body Starts With... Episode 002

What's the number one key to building a strong, flexible, pain-free body? It might sound a bit unconventional, but it's trust.Your nervous system is the CEO of your body. It tells your muscles what to do and that tells your bones where to go.Now, your nervous system and brain isn't designed to make you thrive, it's designed to keep you alive. That's why it's like a protective parent. If it doesn't feel like you have control, it won't trust you and will respond with guarding in the form of pain and tension.In this episode I talk about why this happens, and the number one thing you can do to rebuild trust in your body.The good news is your body is very adaptable. And if you start aligning with the way your body evolved to move, you can make changes relatively quickly.

Welcome to the Physical Freedom podcast! Episode 001

We did it! We started a podcast. Well, technically I started the podcast, but it's because you guys kept bugging me to do it. So... you're welcome. :)For real though, I'm so stoked to be releasing this out into the world. FYI: This episode is more of the "typical intro" stuff. I share with you the background story behind starting the show and a little of my journey to reclaiming my physical freedom (spoiler: it hasn't been easy).Lastly, I give you guys a really valuable micro-practice at the end that I think will be really helpful if you're wanting to get strong in your body.

The Missing Link for True Core Strength and Back Pain

If you're struggling with chronic back pain, tight hips and stretching hasn't worked, there's a reason for that. Most likely you're not activating the right core musculature, particularly the TVA to properly stabilize your spine.In this video we talk about the importance of activation before building muscle and why it's often the most overlooked aspect of training.When Jamie and I started working on the squat he had spent years struggling with this foundational movement. Convinced that his hips were just too tight, or structural limitations in his body would forever prevent him from improving, he felt frustrated and confused.By working on the right activations, much to his surprise, in just a few sessions Jamie transformed his squat.If you're spending years working hard to improve your mobility and it's yielding little results, it's not you that's broken. It's the model you're using.If you're wanting to dramatically improve your core strength and get more flexible at the same time, make sure you're working on activation, not just going through the motions.Knowing where to activate, and in what sequence means the difference between working hard with little to show for it vs. working smart and riding week after week of momentum and improvement.Want to learn more about activation and how to transform your limitations?

How This Busy Doctor Unlocked Her Physical Potential

As a busy doctor, Sam struggled for years with boring exercises to reclaim her mobility.She wanted to finally get the splits, backbends and other creative movements to give her more creative expression as a dancer.The problem was most routines felt like a chore — boring and repetitive. Even with years of yoga training, the deeper levels of movement intelligence and movement confidence escaped her.Her real passion was pole-dance, but she kept struggling with hip pain, tight shoulders and nagging issues with her body.Before we started working together, she thought that maybe the movements she dreamed of performing just weren't made for her body.By building a fun, smart program based on her unique limitations and imbalances, we were able to access the splits within weeks, and the backbends came soon after.Here's how she did it:

Keys to Sam's success

  • Building a routine that worked for her lifestyle and schedule by practicing after work
  • Focusing on developmental ground patterns that taught her body to feel safe and increase confidence, like quadruped crawling, squatting, and getting up and down from the ground.
  • Coaching that addressed her unique imbalances, strengthened her core and taught her body to work synergistically
  • Accountability and feedback that helped her celebrate her successes and build positive momentum despite things not working in the past
