42: Compassionate Myth-Busting

Welcome to Episode 42 of the Movement Logic podcast! Laurel goes it alone this episode to unpack six common myths that still inform the way movement teachers and even clinicians think about and talk about the body, to potentially harmful effect.

You will learn about:

• The Magical Low Back Exercise Myth
• The Poor Body Design Myth
• The Posture Predicts Pain Myth
• The Scapegoated Isolated Muscle Myth
• The Fragilista Warning Label Myth
• The Muscles As Modeling Clay Myth
• How questioning your own beliefs as a teacher helps you be a better teacher.
• How challenging your student’s beliefs may not be as productive as actively listening to them, and creating motivating, positive, and enjoyable movement experiences for them.
