DM #43

Tuesday, July 5th, 2016

DM #43: Freedom of movement. Regional independence (before regional interdependence – see DM #2 ?). It's the 4th of July. Let's celebrate ?? The ability to touch your toes is a movement that all humans should possess. And I don't mean by lifting your leg or bending your knees. We all (yes, yes, I know there are some exceptions to this ?) started off with the ability to touch our toes, and it's something we should still be able to do, irrespective of age.
Why should you care if you can't? Well, that means that each and every time you bend forward you're scaring the hell out of your nervous system, engraining compensatory movement patterns, and setting yourself up for injury. And that's just to start.
Oh and stop blaming your hamstrings. In all likelihood they're just picking up the slack for your lazy midline and dysfunctional breathing patterns. But let's save that for a different DM ?
