The MOVEMENT Movement

What are the most important lessons you could learn about getting in shape that you would get from 90-year-olds who were in a mall? We're going to find out why that may be true, and we have much, much more in today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement Podcast, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body, starting with the feet first, because those things are your foundation. Today my guest is Dr. Courtney Conley, the owner and operator of Total Health Solutions in Colorado. She also is the founder of Gait Happens. Her personal journey of becoming a foot and gait expert began years ago when she attended chiropractic school in Chicago, Illinois. She was fortunate enough to study under the top experts in her field. This began a long journey of working in several orthotic labs, wearing orthotics herself for years, and realizing that something was amiss as she was in constant pain chasing symptoms. She was a triathlete suffering from chronic foot, knee, and low back pain. After years of altering orthotics, and changing footwear, she realized that simply bracing the foot was not the answer. Always struggling with the concept: Why are we telling our patients with foot pain to brace the foot with an orthotic for years at a time when we would never tell our patients with low back pain to wear a back brace for years at a time. As a result, Dr. Conley went down the slow, and often frustrating journey of eliminating her orthotics and transitioning into the 'barefoot' world. She began assessing and treating her foot, like she did every where else in her body, with the goal of moving better and functioning more efficiently.

I'm going to give you some negative advice, how to not pick a good running shoe on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement podcast. I think it's important to know how not to do things in order to inform how to do things. Even when I'm teaching people how to run naturally or run barefoot, I'll often have them exaggerate bad patterns because that way it really highlights what that pattern is and makes it easier to start doing something different.

You just spent $50 or $100 or $200 on a pair of shoes. You get your credit card bill, it says $50 or $100 or $200, is that what you really paid? I know that's a weird sounding question, but we're going to find out what the real cost and value of shoes are, on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement Podcast, the podcast for people who want to know that truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with the feet first, because those things are your foundation. Alright, let's talk about the cost of shoes. So you can buy shoes at all different prices, obviously, anything from just a couple of bucks at Walmart or Target, to hundreds of dollars. I'm not going to be talking about the kind of collectible shoes, the way people line up for days to get the newest pair of Air Jordans and trade them, there's a secondary market for that. It's like investing practically. I'm going to talk about things that you wear every day, all day.

Could the way you breathe be hurting...not only your health but even your performance? Do you breathe in then out? Or do you breathe out then in? Whichever one you do could make a difference. Kidding, that has nothing to do with it, but you're going to find out more on this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body.

This is kind of part two on breathing, but this one's going to be a whole different game. And so, let me introduce our guest for today, Dr. Artour Rakhmov sharing the Dr. Buteyko's breathing method.

With all the uncertainty and anxiety and confusion, and sometimes sheer panic about what's happening with the COVID-19 Virus, I do not have a solution for you, but I do have something that hopefully will be helpful on today's somewhat somber episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast that is typically for people who want to know the truth about having a happy, healthy, strong body, feet first. But of course, in this case, what's going on with your feet really has nothing to do with what happens with the virus. Actually, there may be a little something that may be useful. We'll get to that. I'm not offering solutions. I just want to offer something that may be a little respite for your stressful day and somewhat ironically it's about, we'll talk about a movement that's the most fundamental movement that we do and that is breathing, that is in and out, and in and out. Thing that we do with oxygen and nitrogen and carbon dioxide and all the other things that are in the air on a regular basis now is a time, especially when we're really anxious or panicked, that our breathing tends to suffer. And that can be a vicious cycle. Breathing restrictions can make you more anxious and again, it can roll down the hill until things are really, really bad. So, I am not, again, suggesting that by breathing differently, you're going to prevent the coven virus or protect yourself from it. If you hear people making claims like that, please, I mean, jeez, report them to the police. There's a lot of people who are making claims that are absolutely at the very least irresponsible and certainly not based on anything resembling science or facts or something useful. So please do be careful. This is just a really simple one. When you're stressed out, you're typically not breathing. I want to help you breathe a little better. Get a few moments in your day where you can relax, and I'll add one other thing that may be helpful. There's a little science behind it as well. So, we'll see. So, let's just start with breathing and I'm going well, it's real easy to put your hand, one hand on your chest and the other hand on your belly button and just leave it there for a second. Just breathe. Don't try and change anything. Don't try and do anything. Just, you know, keep one hand on your chest and one hand on your belly button and take a couple of breaths and see how you feel though. One thing I want you to notice and look for and pay attention to is as you're breathing, which hand moves first, is your chest or is it your belly that's moving first? And what I want to suggest and recommend that you do is make sure that it's your belly that's moving first. This is not rocket science. Many of you who, if you've ever done yoga or Tai Chi or anything, we know about the idea of belly breathing. But just pay attention right now. And if your belly isn't moving first, then relax. Take a breath into your belly and let it be the thing that initiates this breathing motion. Now we're not leaving out the chest, we're just starting with the belly. If actually if your chest hand doesn't move, that's kind of okay, but if you really want to get a good full breath, start with the belly and when that seems to be full, keep breathing in the chest is going to move after that and then just relax and let it out. Don't worry about whether your chest hand or belly hand moves first. Just relax and let that breath just go and try it again. Just breathing in the belly moves first and the chest finishes and then just let go. If you want to add a sigh, a sigh sometimes, that's really necessary at times like this against a breath in belly moves first and then the chest and let it go. Now if your belly isn't moving first, that means you're tightening up all around your core and just shake it out. Just, you know, give your head a roll. Just move your shoulders, do a little dance in your chair. Stand up and just move everything just to let your whole body just loosen up for a little bit. And when you breathe the belly first and chest, and then relax. Now I want to add two things to this. If you have already done this, you're familiar with some of this, but now let's add a little spinal motion. So, as you breathe in, just arch your back slightly. Let your head go back slightly. This is not a big thing just to give yourself some more room when you breathe. And as you breathe out, do the opposite, kind of curling just a tiny bit. So, breathing in belly and chest with a slight arch in your back. and then compressing slightly as you exhale and one more belly first. Then chest, slight arch. Exhale and compressed slightly by curving your back. Here's one other thing you can try. Put your arms up over your head and same idea, just belly first slight arch and then pull your arms back slightly to really open up that thoracic spine as you breathe, compress and slightly on the way out. Once more. And as you do that little thing with your arms, what you're trying to do is kind of squeeze y

And just a few minutes here on this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with the feet first, cause those things are your foundation. Here's where we break down the propaganda, the mythology, sometimes the outright lies that you've been told about what it takes to run, to walk, to hike, to dance, to do CrossFit, to do yoga, to power, lift, to do dance, dance, revolution, whatever it is that you like to do and do that enjoyably healthily and efficiently.

If there was just science proving that running barefoot, or in truly minimalist footwear was good for you, then everybody was switch, right? Okay. We're going to take a look at that in today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body starting with your feet first, because those things are your foundation. Nike sponsored a study, they call it an independent study that they sponsored, which in and of itself is kind of fascinating. I talked about it, the React Infinity Run and they said that that shoe reduces injury rates by over 50% and if you look at the research, I just saw the abstract. I didn't see the entire research paper, but according to the abstract that the researcher gave me, it's true that that shoe reduced injury rates by 50% but that's not the important part. The important part is what they did is, they compared people in that shoe to people in Nike's best selling motion controlled running shoe and yes, the React Infinity Run, the people running in it had a 50% lower injury rate than the people in the other shoe. This is during a 12 week half marathon training program and people in the other shoe, over 30% of them got injured in 12 weeks, actually in less than 12 weeks because the only way that they could have done the study or qualified as injured is having something like three or more missed sessions in a row. So basically it had to be no more than 10 maybe 11 weeks tops, roughly 10 weeks. So in less than 10 weeks, approximately over 30% of the people who got injured in the best selling motion control running shoe and in the React Infinity, okay, about 15% got injured. How is this good? Listen in, I'm your host Steven Sashen. Remember to join the tribe and subscribe at https://jointhemovementmovement.com.

Injuries might have gone away. You feel better, you're having more fun. So you want to tell everyone, right? Yeah. Shut up. Don't do that. We're going to talk about why on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about what it takes to have a happy, healthy, strong body, starting with the feet first.

In today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement podcast, host Steven Sashen interviews the founder of the Moboboard, Jay Dicharry. Jay spends the majority of his time researching and applying approaches to improve injury resilience in athletes, and working towards incremental gains in elite athletic performance. Through this work, Jay discovered a discovered a problematic trend: athletes don't train their feet like they train the rest of the body. This oversight leaves seconds on the clock and black holes in an athlete's preparation. Over the years, Jay developed innovative techniques to rebuild the foot, all requiring extensive one on one training and there were no tools on the market to progress from basic training towards sport specificity. Never one to settle, he has changed this with development of MOBO! He made some sketches, bought a CNC machine to make prototypes, filed some patents, sourced production, and is proud to deliver this mobility board called MOBO to the world. Jay's personal mission statement is "if you are going to compete, show up ready" and he believes every athlete deserves a chance to achieve their best —> from the ground up. If you have any questions, please send them to Steven at [email protected]. To find out more about Jay Dicharry, visit his website at: https://www.moboboard.com

You think you have five senses. I'm not even going to list them, because I can't remember what the hell they are.
