"alignment is about balancing the motion with the chemistry. you
can't fix your mechanics if your chemistry is off"
In Fitness, we talk about mobility, a lot. We talk about
performance a lot, and we talk about exercise technique, a lot. But
what is often left out is what is going on the rest of the
day.
It turns out, how we move when we are not in the gym (which is
most of the time) effects how we move (and secondarily, how we
perform) in the gym.
No matter how active you are or how much you pay attention to
your technique, you are going to have incompetencies and
inbalances. One of the goals of an effective and intelligent
training program is to uncover and seek out those imbalances and
fix them.
In this week's episode, we visit the Human Garage in Venice
Ca. Just like it sounds, the human garage is an (underground) body
work clinic. The thing is, this place is not like any massage
studio or chiropractic office you have been too. It is much
more.
We talked to the owner/founder Gary about what is going on at
the Human Garage and what they are doing to help their cliental,
which include, professional athletes, Superhero movie stunt men,
and the adrenaline junkies of the world, move better.
We discuss, what you can be doing to figure out imbalances in
your movement patters, how to develop your posture, and how you can
work towards having more awareness in your body for better
performance, and health.
If you are ready to upgrade your movement practice, this
episode is for you.
Enjoy the show,
Mike
