RESTORATIVE EXERCISE
RESTORATIVE EXERCISE IS NUTRITIOUS MOVEMENT
“Perhaps the only way out of our poor physical state, created by our culture of convenience, is a return to the behaviors of our ancestors.” - Katy Bowman, Move Your DNA: Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement
Restorative Exercise is the modality of Nutritious Movement- the idea that our bodies need a diversity of movement the same way we need a full spectrum of nutrients in our diets. It's a corrective exercise-based system that helps restore natural alignment, strength, stability, mobility, and flexibility where needed, and function to the underused or overworked parts of the body. It's a great starting place for sedentary or restricted-movement lifestyles, and also a powerful recovery strategy for active lifestyles!
MOVE YOUR DNA WITH NUTRITIOUS MOVEMENT
When we move more naturally, we activate our wild DNA. The nature-based lifestyles of our ancestors maintained their alignment, strength, and mobility through their diverse daily movements- but modern civilization has eliminated most of the movements we evolved with! Restorative Exercise helps make the movement in our daily lives more "nutritious" and fills in the gaps where our daily lives lack natural and diverse movement.
EXERCISE VS. MOVEMENT AND WHY MOVEMENT MATTERS
Exercise is only ONE type of movement. And science is proving that a diversity of movement throughout our day is what matters for our health, not just a daily hour of exercise. Want to learn more about why movement matters, how your lifestyle can be full of diverse movement and why that's different than just exercise? Check out this awesome presentation by Nutritious Movement founder and biomechanist, Katy Bowman!
