31 Movement Expert Dani Hemmat on "Fitnessizing" Your Daily Routine and Moving Out of Pain Into Health

In this episode, Dani Hemmat joins Melanie and Michael in a fascinating discussion of movement and how its affects pervade our system: biomechanically, neurologically, emotionally, fasciaistically (yeah, that's a made-up word). Yes, we are holistic, integrated, whole systems: one living organism living in and affected by its environment and ecology. We discuss:-her background-what she had to suffer before she learned how good quality movement was vital for strength and overall well-being-how she got rid of her foot pain in a week, and she was pain-free and well in three months time-how to think about pain and how to deal with it: move-how using a lacrosse ball affects fascia and more from your feet all through your body up to your head-the importance of moving throughout the day, and how you can-how a way to start moving more is to start thinking about how to do everyday things differentlyAbout Dani:Dani Hemmat is a Nutritious Movement-Certified Restorative Exercise Specialist, a self-myofascial release instructor, and a writer.
