How to Fix a Mobility Problem, Gray Cook

Product Description

Gray Cook Mobility – Why is my client so stiff? – How to fix a mobility problem

Listen in as Gray Cook considers the various ways a mobility problem might begin, and some of the best ways to combat these problems, depending on the underlying cause.

“I believe there are two reasons why a mobility problem can persist despite many attempts to remedy it. The mobility problem is either reinforced by a behavior or it is not challenged at all. If it is reinforced, it has no reason to go away. If it is not challenged at all, it becomes part of the background and goes unnoticed for years.

“Obviously, somebody who’s been extremely sedentary and has avoided physical activity could have numerous mobility problems. Unless those mobility problems were the result of a permanent structural change, a change in the activity level and in the environment should beg for a change in the organism—the physical presence of more mobility, more function and more movement.” ~Gray Cook
