Blink, throw, cough, run, lift, stir, throw, walk, scrub, reach, carry, grasp, leap, swallow, squat, smile, gaze, shiver, balance, sprint, swim, dig, dance—although our modern lifestyle no longer requires us to move in all these ways for survival, our bodies require these and many other diverse mechanical nutrients (just like they require vitamins and minerals from food) for optimal function. Just as you were born to eat, you were born to move!

No matter what stage of life you’re in these principles apply to you:

• Your body needs varied movement distributed throughout the day.

• Pain and dysfunction are not normal, and there is a way forward.

• Pelvic floor and core function are WHOLE BODY issues.

• Opportunities for movement surround you every moment: no gym required.

• Your kids will learn to move (or not) by watching you.

• Your body is forgiving, resilient, and changeable.
