Encouraging Safety Learning through Movement Variety
Encouraging variability in movements helps the body understand that it is not fragile but safe and resilient. By engaging in diverse movements such as bending in different ways, twisting, lifting, and challenging balance, individuals can train their nervous system to perceive these activities as safe and tolerable. This approach not only promotes the adaptation of various structures in the body but also aids in reducing the likelihood of experiencing symptoms or pain during movements. Identifying and addressing movements or postures that individuals lack confidence in or fear can help remove barriers and prevent potential flare-ups by gradually exposing the body to these activities for safety learning.
