Interested in pain science? I made a course for @yogauonline all about the very latest in chronic pain research - and how to work with your own or your clients’ chronic pain.

Think you already know all there is to know about it? Did you know there are significant peripheral (ie non-brain) triggers with chronic pain? I didn’t, until I dove deep into the research and made this course.

One year ago today I was officially diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a type of breast cancer. It’s been a YEAR, as you can probably imagine.

At the same time, as I’m writing this, so many things in my life are better than they were a year ago. Do I feel different? Absolutely. I feel more myself than I think I ever have. And that’s a gift.

Massively grateful to all of you for your support, love, humor and gifts (edible and otherwise).

To ice or not to ice, that is the question (plus many more) that I cover with @hollaformala on her latest Body Nerd podcast. Link in bio to listen to the whole thing!

Repost from @bodynerdshow
•
When it comes to pain, ice is the go-to pain-reliever. But how does it actually work?

Does it penetrate all the way down to the joint to decrease inflammation? Can tissue injuries heal just from cold exposure?

Today, I’m joined by physical therapist Dr. Sarah Court @sarahcourtdpt and we’re talking about all things ice, including when and why you should ice an injury, how it works, and what to do instead of icing old injuries (and why it’s more effective).

So if you’ve ever sprained an ankle, iced your back, or are just a curious body nerd, today’s episode is for you!

In this episode you’ll learn:
🧊 When and why you should ice an injury
🧊 How cryotherapy (ice) works
🧊 And why you don’t need to ice old injuries (and what you can do instead)

Click the 🔗 in my bio to listen 🎧 to the episode now!

Hosted by @hollaformala

Today’s episode is brought to you by The Bodywork Starter Guide. Learn the top places to roll right now for quick relief, plus three reasons why stretching is only a temporary fix. Whether it’s back pain, plantar fasciitis, neck tension, shoulder pain or tight hips – I’ve got you covered. Get yours now totally free via the link in my bio!

➡️Swipe for video➡️ Shoulderstand gets a b

➡️Swipe for video➡️ Shoulderstand gets a bad rap. Teachers avoid it because they’ve been told it’s dangerous, and then they pass on that fear mongering to their students. Unfortunately this approach to teaching doesn’t help student learn anything about their bodies, and really just reinforces student dependence on a “teacher” as the authority on what they do and don’t do with their body.

We’ve even received some *horrified* (and not very thoughtful) emails about it – which only strengthens our standpoint (and our neck and shoulders).

We’re not here to debate if shoulderstand is a “good” or “bad” yoga pose (spoiler: there’s no such thing, and let’s stop freaking each other out about it. Attempts to do so are more after about exerting authority than genuinely trying to help, anyway.)

What we are saying is that as teachers and practitioners, we need *a toolbox of practical concepts* to facilitate the general principles of variability and progressive overload, so that we can adequately prepare the student in front of us not only for a yoga pose, but for resilience in all their movements.

Here’s Jesal demonstrating Chair Shoulderstand variation from our Neck Tutorial. This exercise takes a familiar yoga pose - shoulderstand - and adds a supportive dimension to decrease the potential for neck strain or discomfort.

If you feel like you’re missing some of those tools, are stuck in a teaching rut, or just want to shake things up and get inspired, our Neck Tutorial is for you. It’s only $129.99 and it's available until Monday.

Click the link in bio to purchase. We don’t know when we’ll be offering this tutorial again!

shoulderstand” Padme says “You can modify it for me!” Anakin is silent, Padme says “You can’t modify it for me?” Video ID: Jesal demonstrates shoulderstand in a chair variation]

➡️Swipe for exercise video➡️ Did you know that your face could be part of why you
have neck pain, upper back pain, jaw pain, or headaches? When was the last time you
did anything for your face that wasn’t just about your skin? (We love a good moisturizer
as much as the next person, but sometimes you gotta dive a little deeper.)

Here’s me with a Movement Logic favorite (swipe): Big Face, Little Face from our Neck
Tutorial. This exercise is a great way to wake up all the muscles in your face that share
fascial connections with the muscles of the neck and can help relieve associated jaw
pain and headaches. Will you look cool? Not really. But it's a fun one!

Looking for more ideas for yourself and your students? We’ve got you. The Movement
Logic Neck Tutorial is available again to purchase!

The Movement Logic Neck Tutorial is 5 hours of anatomy, kinesiology, myth-busting,
and most importantly, dozens of exercises that will help you train strength, flexibility,
and functional movement, for whatever you want to do in life.
Your investment: $129.99
And once you buy it, it’s yours to watch and review forever.

ends Monday!

➡️Swipe for exercise video ➡️ have you been trying to stretch your way out of neck pain? How’s that going for you?

Chronic tightness is often your body’s request for change. Additionally, research suggests that a more effective way to address neck pain is to strengthen it (rather than stretch or massage).

How do I strengthen my neck, you ask? Here’s Laurel demonstrating one super effective way (swipe): Forehead Presses. This exercise targets both the smaller and larger muscles that create neck flexion - and it's harder than it looks!

At Movement Logic, we believe in building strength to create physically and psychological resilience. We’re not saying that strength training is a panacea. Like anything else, strength training has its limitations. But strength is a factor strongly worth considering, especially if you’re unsure about what’s causing your pain.

More from Maja: “As a former dancer, I thought

More from Maja:

“As a former dancer, I thought my feet were just fine. Bendy yet strong. They did an awesome job when they were in their habitual position and doing familiar stuff, but when given a new input they felt weak and shaky, go figure!

I twisted my ankle three times. And after each R.I.C.E method, I just continued doing the same stuff as before. Then, after my last incident I knew something had to change. The passive input was just not enough.

Your tutorial was a perfect addition to my path of changing how I use my feet and how I teach about feet.

Thank you again from my heart, for making this Tutorial more possible to attend!”

Wanna learn the tools Maja learned? You’re in luck! Right now we’re making our Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial available (and ON SALE!) for a limited time. Cart closes after tomorrow and the course goes away.

Click the link in bio to purchase. We don’t know when we’ll be offering this tutorial again!

[Image ID: sky at sunset with text “You are putting such valuable information out there! I thought I knew quite enough about feet to be able to speak coherently and with passion, as I do with my clients. But you provided so much more context than I could anticipate, not only in depth but with your way of explaining stuff that often sounds too medical for people. No asana or any other movement teacher should ignore this tutorial.” -Maja Mogulja, yoga teacher]

You may have heard that a 'flat foot' or a 'droppe

You may have heard that a 'flat foot' or a 'dropped arch' is a bad, bad thing.

You may have been fitted for orthotics or bought some special insoles for your shoes to try and 'correct' this issue.

If so, did it work? Or... did it end up making you dependent on that orthotic for every time you go for a walk, run or hike?

To be clear, we're not 100% anti-orthotics. For some people, they are the exact right solution.

However, there's a lot we can all do to develop the mobility and strength of our lower leg and foot muscles that help to create that functional pronation-supination movement we need for walking.

Because one thing we do know: having healthy and functional feet that can move through pronation and supination during gait is more important than their static position (i.e. in standing).

Have thoughts on orthotics? Tell us in the comments!

P.S. Want to learn more? We’ve got a 3-hour Foot and Ankle Tutorial that gives you a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of foot and ankle concerns. Along with musculoskeletal anatomy review and up-to-date pain science, you will acquire a progression of corrective exercise techniques to explore toe flexibility and strength, supination and pronation, arch support and development, balance and proprioception, and how all these lead to the most basic movement of them all: walking!

And the best news of all: it’s ON SALE! Only $99.99 (save $30)

Have you ever had your ankle make a weird clicking

Have you ever had your ankle make a weird clicking noise when you walked or ran? Have you ever been able to understand why? Or have you just lived with it, knew something was off, but figured there was nothing to do until it got a lot worse?

As movement practitioners, we can’t diagnose foot or ankle dysfunction, but we CAN empower ourselves and our students with the knowledge to help the ankle work better, which can reduce those strange noises, and help out with overall posture and pain.

On that note, I’m thrilled to announce that the Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial is (for the first time EVER) ON SALE!

The Movement Logic Foot and Ankle Tutorial is 3 hours of anatomy, kinesiology, myth-busting, and most importantly, dozens of exercises that will help you train strength, flexibility, and functional movement, for whatever you want to do in life.

Your investment: $99.99 (a $30 savings!)

And once you buy it, it’s yours to watch and review forever.
