approach

The key to pain-free motion and true strength is efficient movement.

We all develop movement patterns in our bodies that are often counterproductive and that utilize excess energy. Optimal joint health requires a balance of tension of surrounding musculature as well as connective tissue. When the joints are properly aligned, the bones transfer force appropriately and the body’s various systems and organs can function as intended.

Breath and body awareness are the basis of movement. The more we understand of our own bodies and recognize the importance of breathing as a foundation, the more ease we will have moving in our daily lives and performing activities. As such, exercise and conditioning need to translate into functional movement.

The body must be approached in its entirety since all parts are interrelated.
