Movement Series – A Balanced Approach

Maybe and hopefully this is all quite obvious! That movement is important.

 

Yet – what we often observe through the clients we work with, enquiries we receive and challenges people are facing is that there are many extreme and ineffective approaches to how Movement could be applied to support the process.

 

That’s where a Balanced approach comes in.

 

There are a few key factors to consider initially when embracing a more balanced approach:

 

1 – Check whether you have a skewed approach to how you are applying movement. Too much or too little. All or nothing. What type of exercise/activity are you doing? Are you only aware of limited ways to apply movement as you medicine? Are you relying on something that used to work for you but no longer does? Are you infatuated/attached to a particular modality?

 

2 – Are you guessing or Assessing? Assessment will create insight and clarity regarding your needs.

 

3 – Are you exercises congruent with your individual needs and your goals?

 

4 – Is your starting point appropriate? Will it truly create a baseline on which you can build and progress?

 

5 – Do you have a plan? It’s rarely about the first exercises that you have in your first program. That’s simply a start point. A plan and program must involve a process. A way to progress you from the baseline and to continually evolve as your needs and your functional capacity does.

 

Address these areas and you’ll be creating an approach that is more balanced and robust. And successful.
