Range of movement

Losing the freedom to move is really obvious in the range of our movement.

If you don’t move throughout the whole range of your movement, you are losing it.

A body that does not move through the usual range of movement shrinks, becomes rusty, tighter, weaker and brittle.

In order to keep the freedom of movement, it is important to go out of the comfort zone, leave your favourite patterns and move in the widest variety of movements.

We usually stretch and build strength only in some particular positions, but to be free we need to be strong in every possible position. Similarly, we strengthen and stretch specific muscles and tendons, but what we really need is holistic strength and flexibility across the whole body and across all myofascial tracks.
