Our modern lifestyle is changing the way we were designed to move. A great example of this is watching kids at different stages of life and how their movement changes over that time.

For example, a little baby can squat their butt all the way to the ground. They are extremely flexible, and once they can walk normally they have good movement patterns to do whatever they want.

But then at 5 years old the kid goes from moving all the time, to being plopped into a sitting position for 8 hours a day. Multiply this by 180+ days per year for years, all of a sudden that kid can't squat very low at 15 years old, and can't even bend over to touch their toes because their tissues are so tight.

In this episode with Kris Quinones, we will talk about strategies to improve our movement and reduce pain from our modern lifestyles.
