Adaptation

Adaptation.

As humans, it’s a fundamental trait to our survival. We adapt to our surroundings. We fall back into patterns, if just feels normal and comfortable.

Sadly, it is a trait that can throat punch us. I would argue, when we become settled and comfortable we get “soft”🙊 and vulnerable. You start to see things as your are, not how the world is. PERCEPTION. This is a perfect time for injury to sneak itself in. With that being said, pain is also perception. 10/10 subjective. Hear me out, Rick Flair walks up and pops you in the face 👋🏼, I’d cry and you may laugh. Same external stimulus, different response.

Pain is your body’s way of begging for change! Changing how you move ultimately will change how you think 🤯 brain and body are really good friends.

How can we make change?

Simply put: get out of your own way. keep it simple, it really is that easy

• get on the ground, move with your kids, sit and read •Exercise outside: go hike, go rock climb, paddle board. Get out of the Sagittal plane • hop to your car after work? I don’t know, you may make friends? • stop taking the elevator, maybe walk sideways up the steps • kneel or stand at your office desk •squat during office meetings, again you may get some weird looks
