Movement Health Matters Intro: Movement Health Matters
About Movement Health Matters:
We are not creating another podcast that the world does not need. We believe that there is an opportunity to bring the necessary movement health facts, advice and insights to everybody and every body.
Through a curated, limited series of interviews, we will be speaking with the preeminent pioneers and leaders in movement health.
Movement health as a concept has finally gained some mainstream attention and traction in recent years. Sitting is the new smoking. 10,000 steps per day. Concepts like this are catching on, but so many people still live with physical dysfunction and pain, even with the advancements in fitness, health and technology. The status quo of assessment collection, exercise prescription and insights is lacking qualitative analysis, personalization and the ability to do this effectively at scale.
Although the interest in movement health has increased, the attention has largely been given to the associated problems (employer spend, medical costs, obesity, inactivity) - without an understanding of what preventative solutions are both available and actually effective.
