Hanging Fixed What Years of Rehab Couldn’t

from Making Moves Podcast · host Vanja Moves

When was the last time you hung from something? For most people the honest answer is childhood. You stopped playing, you started sitting, and you let one of the most human positions there is die completely.In this episode Vanja breaks down the power of the dead hang: how it decompresses the spine, opens the shoulders into a range modern life never uses, and loads the grip, forearms and elbows in exactly the stretched position tissue needs to get healthy again. The same practice that fixed years of shoulder injuries, compressed spinal discs and elbow issues, after rehab exercises never touched the problem.Also covered: why grip strength keeps showing up in the research as one of the strongest predictors of longevity we have, why most people drop off the bar after 10 to 15 seconds, and what that number is really telling you about the state of your body.Then the practical part: a three-step build from assisted hanging, to a full passive dead hang, to a daily practice you barely notice doing. Plus the day Vanja hung on a bar for 23 minutes, and why that had nothing to do with adrenaline and everything to do with the unremarkable daily reps nobody sees.Test yourself today. Find a bar, hang, and note your number. That is your starting point.The Mobility Kit is linked below and in the pinned comment: https://movesmethod.com/yttkReady to be coached 1:1?
