Restorative Exercise/ Movement
Welcome back to your body! Restorative Exercise is just that, it’s restorative. Its about understanding how you need to move so you move better. It’s about loading yourself in ways that allows some of you to get stronger while some of you can heal. We all have a different exercise/ injury history therefore it’s important to understand how you need to move. Maybe you have a sticky spot or part that just doesn’t move. Maybe you fell like one part of you never gets stronger. Hazel will design a program to get you moving well before you move more. She’ll show you how to transition wisely so you can recover from injury/ illness and pain with confidence knowing you are moving well. Once you have recovered Restorative Exercise can help you to get very good at moving all your parts with strength and skill.
It’s also about getting smart about using your non exercise time to move more, this can be a game changer for people will long term problems.
Restorative Exercise is the brainchild of American biomechanist Katy Bowman. Katy has written extensively about how a lack of natural movement is significantly reducing our biological function. I recommend all my clients read her book ‘Move Your DNA’. Check out Katy’s website for more information.
This approach will help you understand that movement is a key ‘part’ of your anatomy, it will inspire you to move more and show you how easy it can be to increase your daily movement capabilities.
Get smart about how you move and move better before you move more.
