MOVE meant


Functional Integration Group Class

Your life story.

Is a mix of chapters and experiences

That come to shape how you know yourself.

How you think, feel and move through life.

That shape and organise your physicality.

Your form.

This unique-to-you form

Is part of your YOUness.


Consequently, we all function in movement differently.

Sit, stand, walk, run in a way that is uniquely ours.

I do.

You do.


Within this “uniqueness,”the familiar is regulating.

We rinse-repeat patterns learnt and embodied through our experiences.

Patterns that in time, go under our radar. Become unconscious.

Habits.


Habits aren’t bad.

They can be useful.

At certain times along the way they have served us well.

Sometimes though, we get stuck in some that aren’t helpful.

That send repetitive force and strain through us.

Through specific parts of our structure.

Our form.


Form follows function.

Function follows form.

Transmission of uneven force and strain can limit function overtime.

Manifesting as stiffness, creakiness, discomfort.

As functional change.

(Moving from sitting on the floor to standing.. say).

And as tension, stress, inflammation, injury, anxiety, aches, pain…

All feedback messages

Inviting change.


Change is possible.

Yes really.


Bringing more of ourself to the movement party and moving smart.

Each moving part, efforts - less.

Action and force become evenly spread.

A new pattern of movement emerges.

New neural pathways form (in the brain) that expand possibility.

Give more movement choices.

More choice brings improved movement function.

Brings a freedom to movement and the pleasure of moving with comfort and ease.


Change is possible.


As we move (!) through this series of MOVE posts, I’ll be un-packing some of this.

I hope you will accompany me.



If you would like to learn more about how I can help you move with ease and do what you love with comfort and confidence, do get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.
