Holistic Approach to Movement

Movement is essential for long-term health, and it is emphasized that how individuals engage their bodies throughout their daily routines significantly impacts their overall well-being. Many people overlook the importance of their non-exercise activities, where a large part of their movement occurs, such as how they sit at work or interact with their environment. Aaron Alexander discusses techniques that encourage movement diversity, including his methods of bodywork and manual therapy, which help combat common issues like back and knee pain. This holistic view of movement integrates manual therapy and functional movement patterns, thereby promoting better alignment and health.
