MovNat: A Physical Therapist’s Perspective

Liz — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:03:37 +0000

I spent all day yesterday playing in the woods. Really, no joke. When I got home, I was covered in dirt, sweat, bruises, and sunburn. I haven’t been that happy in a while!

Hunter-gatherers were constantly active, alternating hard physical days with less demanding days as often as they could. Their routines were balanced, promoting strength, agility, and aerobic and anaerobic endurance, thereby ensuring that their health remained intact. For the most part, their activity kept them strong and injury-free. It’s most likely that the majority of hunter-gatherers

MovNat Team — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:59:39 +0000

Last week I went on my own to a week-long outdoor program called MovNat … moving naturally. It was an experience I have to tell you about because we all need to get out of our comfort zones once in a while. It is tricky to explain MovNat because it is much more than what

It’s 3.30pm on a Friday afternoon and as I look at the office clock for the tenth time since lunch I rationalize that it’s finally reasonable for me to log off and head to the airport. After all, I have a 6.45pm flight and as a seasoned traveler I know just how many things can

It’s 6 o’clock in the morning and the annoying buzz of the alarm clock wakes Gary up, definitely ending the night’s sleep too soon. It’s raining outside and Gary knows what that means: traffic, slow cars, a long commute and an unhealthy breakfast eaten in his car. Gary will strictly follow the Doughnuts Diet today.

But

What does a soldier from Australia, a real estate agent from France, a writer from Canada or a Personal trainer from the UK have in common? A nice suntan? A few bruises? Some sore muscles? Some mud and a large smile on their face? Yes, but a lot more than
