Creating Space in Your Body
You can do all the exercise you'd like, but if your body doesn't have space to utilize your efforts, they will remain unseen and underutilized. Spaces will remain inaccessible.
Many people don't realize that the reason they aren't getting the outcome they want when exercising isn't because they need to do more, but rather, they need to make more space in their body so that their muscles have the opportunity to participate.
Tightness steals function and creates blockages and weaknesses in your body, throwing function off the tracks.
No space to move = no space to move.
Or awkward movements in an effort to work with the space they have been given.
Stiffness also equals weakness. If you don’t use them, you lose them, and we have a lot of them and unfortunately, we only use some of them.
It’s the lack of space that causes aches and pains, injury in your body. When muscles don’t have the space to move, they atrophy and stiffen. They become tight and weak.
Those bits of stiffness can not only pull your bones out of alignment, but they also make it difficult to fully access all your parts, they aren’t able to “pull their weight”, creating compensations in your body.
A lot of your discomfort is rooted in tightness and weakness.
Once tightness and weakness are addressed, proper function, rhythm, and timing of muscles can be restored and discomfort eased.
It’s a seemingly simple concept, right?
