In this episode, I explain what movement fluidity means to me. Fluid movement is the key to athleticism and pain free living. I dive into the science of energy efficiency, biomechanics, muscular firing sequence, and more. Then, I share what has worked for me to turn my herky jerky movements into smooth and fluid movements. In Episode 1, I talk about my story of being born with Cerebral Palsy to competing in collegiate tennis. Figuring out ways to move more efficiently has been a big part of my success, and I am still experimenting on myself as well as applying these concepts to clients. This episode goes deeper into how I was able to improve my movement mechanics to play sports at a higher level than was thought to be possible by medical professionals.
