Another special guest show and this month I'm proud to present good friend and Sydney legend DJ Dante Rivera, founder of Klubhouse and countless other Sydney events over the years. Dante was partly responsible for my exposure to Sydney clubbers. He was the first person to reach out post Covid to ask if I would play for Klubhouse. That set has resulted in me playing for multiple promoters around the city.Anyone that knows Dante knows to expect ass shaking Latin House vibes all the way and he didn't dissapoint.The first hour is all Dante so expect to find yourself tapping out percussion on the steering wheel or shuffling across the kitchen to get something out of the fridge.We go b2b for the second hour, which I will admit was a stretch for me. My Latin House is mainly European from the 00's - you can really hear the difference to Dante's authentic sounds, but that's all I have! Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the back nine.Anyone in the city this weekend, you can catch me a Tatler on Friday for a full takeover. Yeah baby I got the place to myself from 9pm to 3am. Whilst I love long sets I will be bringing in another friend Gary Ward to help out.Between us we'll be playing the finest house tunes the last 35 years have produced.Tracklist to follow.........Enjoy!

Understandably underappreciated due to his complete inability to hit, Luis Aparicio fell into disfavor amongst new fans in the 21st century. But, on the 54th anniversary of his trade from the White Sox to the Red Sox, Mike and Bill discover that there was far more to Aparicio's game than meets the eye, including some of the best defense of all time and the blinding speed that brought the stolen base back to baseball after years of dormancy. Plus, happy birthday to Cookie Lavagetto and Gary Ward. And farewell to Bob Speake and Ozzie Virgil Sr.

In Ep. 81, Ste sits down with Gary Ward, author of “Anatomy in Motion” to discuss gait and more specifically, how to better understand how our feet affect our entire lives. From back pain, to “sleepy glutes” and even emotional and physical trauma, our feet hold the clues to unlocking many issues in our lives. The only problem is, most people don't know it. Gary talks about the reason so many people have back pain, if deadlifting is dangerous and shares the best way to walk so you can solve some of these issues.

This mix was heading in the "for my ears only" box as I didn't get a warm fuzzy at the end of the show. I wasn't happy with the flow and there were a couple of key clashes that made my bum whistle that little bit higher.However my partner fell in love with it over the following weekend. She pleaded with me to release it, "it needs to be heard" she said. I continued to listen to it over and over and as is usually the case it grew on me.At the same time I played a set at a cool swanky rooftop pool club in Sydney and used a bunch of the tracks from the mix. This time I was very happy with how it flowed and so I had managed to scratch that itch. As a result I'm excited to get this original mix out as it is quite different to the Boogie @ Ivy session.I am always looking for feedback (not that I get much) and would love to know whether you think I should have kept this mix in the box or not. Don't worry I won't get upset, but it is nice to hear from others, and I respect your judgement, I mean some of you have been on this journey for over fifteen years now!!! That blows my mind, I'll be honest.I'm starting to put on regular events in Sydney, so any of you down here can come out and dance to this music with us. I'm hoping to build a nice little community of people that appreciate this range of dance music, maybe even educate the little ones about life beyond Tech House!Next event - Stanley's on Stanley - 28th October 6-12am. It's free and I'll be joined by DJ Nycks from Underground Jack and Birmingham's finest Mr Gary Ward of Body People fame. I believe in a fewer DJ's with more time policy. It's how it used to be, and it worked better than the one hour rodeo we have these days. Give us time to settle in and we'll take you on a journey.As always a HUGE thank you to everyone that joins me for the live show on Pressure (Alternate Thursday's 12-2pm UK). Special shout out to the chatroom crew, you know who you are.Tracklisting:1: Kx9000 - A Kiss (Plage 84 Remix)2: Brendan Moeller - On The Fly3: Elements Of Life - Into My Life (Dub Mix)4: Brooklyn Baby - For The Soul5: Afefe Iku - 8236: Brooklyn Baby - NYC7: Maurice Joshua, DeiSelah - Filled With Love8: gome - Elevator Man (Mike Dunn Blackball Remix)9: Matthieu Faubourg - Dream Frequencies10: Raven Maize, Joey Negro - The Real Life (David Penn Extended Remix)11: Louie Vega - Feel So Right ft Honey Dijon (Tedd Patterson Club Remix)12: Morttimer Snerd III - Here I Come13: Harrison BDP - Small Talk14: Grand High Priest - Jimmy Go Bomm (Grand High Priest Full Mix)15: Tartan - Cynical Gringo16: Matthieu Faubourg - Modern Music For Dreamers17: A-D-O-R - Young World (Stefano Ritteri)18: Danny Snowden - Energy19: Daniele Busciala, Muzikman Edition - Take Off20: Grace Bones - Back2love21: Genk - Lovin22: Sex-O-Sonique - I Thought It Was You (Full Intention Extended Remix)23: The Journey Men ft Anne-Marie Johnson - Wanna Be Down (Mikki Funk Vox Dub)24: Narf Zayd - Sol Saliente (Mijangos Latin House Remix)Enjoy!
This is a recording of a set I recently played at a really cool rooftop club in Sydney.It was the warm up set, which is perfect because you have the freedom to choose how to go from zero to everyone warming up on the dancefloor.The set is a mix of new tracks that you'll hear in the upcoming c2eMusic podcast for October and some of my favourite tunes of 2023.I'll be playing for Underground Jack at Stanley's in Sydney on Oct 28th. It's free so no excuses! It sees me reunited with my good friend DJ Nycks for the first time since Covid closed everything down. Also joining us on the night are Gary Ward and Chic Daddy DJ.I'll be back at Stanley's again on Nov 24th (Friday) joined by Gary Ward, Steve Robinson and Chic Daddy.

Peter and Gary discuss the value of pronation in the human body and how an individual who presents with "too much" pronation may actually need to introduce more pronation into the system to improve. Other topics include: Knees over toes. The flow motion model. Wedge work, and more.
On episode 71 I sat down with Holly Middleton of Flow Movement Therapy, to discuss a variety of topics from the movement philosophy presented by Gary Ward's system AiM. Holly starts by discussing the basic philosophy and rationale presented within Aim and our first talking point centers around the term movement spectrum. Movement like all things exist on a spectrum, Holly shares how we can utilize and analyze the spectrum that a client presents to see where deficiencies or issues may lie. By expanding access to both ends of the spectrum you increase an individuals movement vocabulary and profile. One of the other big tenets of Aim is the idea of finding the center of each joint (preferred center position). If an individual presents too far to one extreme, they limit different aspects of their locomotive capabilities. The AiM system also examines all joint actions in the process of gait, on numerous podcast I've shared how important gait is in regards to survival. Holly discusses how gait analysis can give practitioners clear insight to the functional capability of the individual. Holly discusses the different mechanics of the foot and shares how a lack of supination, pronation, dorsiflexion, or plantar flexion can have cascading effects throughout the body and kinetic chain. The middle part of the conversation focuses heavily on concepts that would be associated with the term compensation. Holly discusses how we can intelligently reintroduce different actions and movement options intelligently to the human body. Holly shares her assessment process and how she utilizes both static as well as dynamic assessment processes to get a clearer picture on a clients movement capabilities. We end the discussion by talking about simple daily activities that we can introduce to make ourselves more robust and complete movers. The introduction of novel stimuli is something that I can appreciate as repetitive movements and activities can lead to boredom and the biasing of certain positions. It's good to pursue different shapes, movement patterns, as well as experience to keep a balanced and healthy movement profile. Throughout the conversation I know the audience will enjoy the thoughtful approach that Holly presents on how to actively empower athletes or clients.

In Part 2 of Addressing Mind and Body with Gary Ward, we continue to look at how lack of movement from emotional or traumatic experiences, translates into physical pathologies. We then look at different strategies that help to resolve these imbalances becoming locked unconsciously into the body. ✅ Taking ownership of your body ✅ How practitioners facilitate a process ✅ Going to the doctor instead of learning about your body ✅ How postural collapse can negatively impact you breathing and digestion ✅ Identifying how your body can and can't move ✅ Why a considered approach to movement around pain is necessary ✅ Other contributing factors to consider ✅ Why understanding how movement is binary can be the key to finding balance ✅ Why all potential movement the body is capable of is necessary ✅ What your body can't do and how it will impact yoga, sport and any other movement SUMMARY KEYWORDS movement, body, people, ribcage, jaw, pelvis, shoulder, move, teach, compromised, spine, joints, stuck, yoga, feet, clients, yoga teacher, learn, practitioner, find Website www.ixcheltherapies.co.uk Get Into Your Body Methodology Book a discovery call More Info on Gary Ward Gary is known for breaking the mould of anatomical thinking in the realm of human movement and for his creation of the Flow Motion Model.

Introduction I started learning from Gary Ward about 9 years ago. I was very interested in what he had to say about the foot and how it could impact the whole body. Even though I had a degree in Clinical Massage, I was still fascinated by the effectiveness of Reflexology and how working with the feet could make a difference to the entire body. I found that Gary's Flow Motion Model provided a way to understand and experience how the body's joints can connect and disconnect the mind and body. I have seen this in hundreds of my clients, where the story of their body or the alignment of their feet often has a much deeper impact than just physical pain or restricted movement. In the Podcast Transcript read about: The experience of how Gary Wards Flow Motion Model helped me find the keys to unlocking years of unconscious emotional holding. How feeling the connection with your bones and joints can be key to finding safety and resolving trauma. Alignment equals movement, whether emotional pain or physical performance Why Mind and Body should be one word How fight or flight and freeze state distort your movement Why creating safety is the key to realignment

Promo Video: https://www.facebook.com/atticsydney/videos/564920698291514 It's that age-old, well-worn cliché: "music is the essence that brings us together". Well, cliché or not, it couldn't be more accurate in considering this offering. The last little period has not been without challenge: the dreaded lockdown—the second coming, as it were. We have been apart, away from the DJ booth, away from the dance floor, prevented from doing the thing we love: sharing our passion for the music for which we dig deep. Very deep. In the spirit of breaking through these challenges, we've grouped together and constructed the second part of this little project: a concoction of sound, delivered by a selection of five like-minded individuals, separated by circumstance. What we have here is, in essence, a DJ mix—a few clicks over an hour in length. Five DJs, three tracks a pop—one kicks off; the next joins... then the next... and the next. Burners, killers, fillers, fresh cuts and perhaps forgotten Gems from the Attic—all delivered in one cohesive package. It's us—Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari—and we have, once again, placed ourselves in esteemed, incredibly talented company with this effort: Gary Ward, Mark Cameron and Sim Maree are all highly-accomplished technicians and loyal supporters of our brand, who have graced our DJ booths with their presence at various times since Attic's inception in 2017. We'd love very much to enjoy those opportunities again soon! (For now, we have this.) @andrewfazzolari @gary-ward @sim_maree Make no mistake... this is a very Attic effort. If you're still reading, it's probably time to press play. We hope you enjoy! Gems From The Attic 002: A Collaboration (September 2021)
Today, I'm talking to Hilary Warrell, who qualified as a Nordic Walking instructor in 2007. Hilary loves being outdoors in nature, and is passionate about sharing all the wellbeing benefits this can bring, particularly in terms of our mental health. Slowing down, pausing, tuning in to our senses helps us connect to life as it is happening in the moment, not just in the environment around us, but in our bodies too. We can start to notice where we habitually hold tension, if we mainly breath through our mouth or nose, how loud we are in conversation, how our feet make contact with the ground....and it is this part of the body that is the subject of this episode. If you want to learn more, Hilary holds zoom workshops on the subject of feet, where she goes into more depth. These workshops are educational and contain many practical tips for mobilizing and strengthening the feet. If you want to sign up, you can email Hilary at hgwarrell@hotmail.co.uk; or you can find her on Facebook at Nordic Walking In The Chilterns, or check out her website, http://nordicwalkingandpilates.comThe course run by Gary Ward that Hilary talked about can be found by visiting his website, Finding Centre, which also has links to other great resources relating to the feet.If you have enjoyed this podcast, I would be very grateful if you could show your support by buying me a coffee! This enables me to continue producing these podcasts, as it will go towards covering the server and podcast platform licenses. Not only is Nordic Walking a whole body workout, but it is also one of the safest and most sociable way to exercise. Classes always finish up in a cafe enjoying a coffee together. Many thanks, Mary xI'm Mary Tweed, a British Nordic Walking instructor with Nordic Walking East Anglia.

Today's show is with biomechanist Gary Ward. Gary is the author of “What the Foot” and founder of “Anatomy in Motion” (as well as the “Wake Your Feet Up” and “Wake Your Body Up” courses). Gary is known for solving unsolvable pain in minutes, not months, and his passion for the foot hugely influenced his interpretation of human movement. Gary's foot wedges and training system have had a massive impact on my approach to training athletes in a single leg setting, and between Gary's influence, and that of running coach Helen Hall (a student of Gary's), my approach to gait, running and the foot is forever changed for the better. Gary has been a previous 2x guest on this podcast, speaking on the topics of human movement principles, pronation, “duck feet” and much more. In my ever-running interest in the foot and lower leg, and its role in human movement, I have been very interested in the role of the rear-foot in the past few years. Initially, I found that I was able to rid myself of plaguing Achilles tendon issues by mobilizing my calcaneus bone, which tuned me into the importance of looking beyond “foot stiffness” as a cover-all in lower leg performance. From there, I've become increasingly more interested in the role of the rearfoot in not only injury prevention, but also athletic performance situations. On the show today, Gary Ward is back to take us on a deep dive into concepts of forefoot-rearfoot opposition and the role of the heel bone in pronation, supination and gait mechanics. He'll go into how a well-functioning rear-foot plays into the gait cycle, and how this also works with the ability to get into the ball of the foot well in athletic movements. Gary will give some practical examples on how to check one's rearfoot function, and we conclude the show getting into some nuts and bolts of squatting mechanics in light of 3D human movement.

Timestamps and Main Points 6:37 – A recap on foot opposition, and how the twisting and spiraling of the foot works into human movement 22:03 – Gary's take on how rearfoot mobility and foot opposition plays into the ability to get to the ball of the foot well in athletic movement 37:39 – How pronation and supination changes as ground speeds increase from walking to sprinting 49:10 – How to check for limited range in the rear foot, and how to get the rearfoot moving 58:52 – How the body will compensate upstream if it is getting too much or too little movement in the foot 1:04:12 – How arch height in barbell squatting impacts the athletic result of a barbell lift, and if the arches should flatten in a barbell squat 1:10.09 – Squatting and effortlessness in human movement “The rearfoot is the calcaneus and the talus” “When the calcaneus moves down, the navicular moves up” “If there was a midfoot bone, I would say the cuboid is a midfoot bone… out of the 26 bones, we've got one midfoot bone. Otherwise, what we are really looking at is the forefoot opposing the rearfoot, and it does it in all three planes” “The lowering of the arch is an opening of the joints at the base of the foot” “If you roll pressure towards the inside edge of the foot, then you will initiate an eversion in your rear foot, but if I take the 5th metatarsal head off the ground, then what you lose is the opposition” “There's only one way to get the shin forward, and keep the heel on the ground for too long, and that's to maintain a pronated foot position” “If your foot does not pronate at the time it is supposed to, then the body will continue to pronate the foot until it reaches the amount of pronation it needs” “You do need to get that (calcaneus) eversion to get into that toe rocker of the push-off phase”
I'm super happy and excited to get to talk to my teacher Gary ward for episode number 3 of the move, breathe, live podcast. Gary is the greater and founder of anatomy in motion, a method of looking at the body and its anatomy through 3 dimensions of movement upright in a closed chain rather than as it has traditionally been viewed from an open chain, on a massage couch type idea. I took my first cute with Gary nearly 3 years ago and it changed my views on how the body should locomote and what good movement truly is. Having release his first book what the foot, he is currently preparing and finishing his follow up (once all the diagrams get finished cos my god they are super complex) going into his moment of magic called the flow motion model. This was a super fun chat in which we have some great discussions around the subject of pain, around what really is good joint motion, what the hip should really be doing and also a bit about the feet and how they connect to the rest of the body.

Modified Transcripts How I structure training Tim: So, my man, I thought we could start with your own training. And I'm wondering if you could describe the last workout that you personally did? Zac: Well, that would have been yesterday. I train mostly at night after work. Yesterday, it was chin-up day. I start with vision exercises because I did some vision therapy, so I'm just trying to maintain the visual skills that I currently struggle with, which is the ability to diverge. So, divergence is the eyes moving apart. You basically stretch them out, which is kind of like external rotation of the eyes, if you can think about that way, which is expansion. And guess who doesn't have that? Ya boy, same thing with everyone else. So, I do some moves to work on divergence, but then focusing within the divergence, which is accommodation. I spent a few minutes doing that. And then my warmup, I kind of do the same thing. I just roll around on the ground for a while, do just a few moves to - yes, I just literally - they were finishing class at Elevate and Francis is like, "Don't worry about the Ninja who works here in the background." Which was funny. So, just warm-up and then... Tim: Just some spinning flying kicks? Zac: Yes. Something like that. Tim: Yes. Like three sets of five...? Zac: Nunchucks. Tim: Sure. Zac: Yes. Tim: Yes, of course. I saw those in your office. Zac: Yes. Tim: I was going to ask about that. Zac: Once I do that, then I do my main move for the day, which yesterday involved post-activation potentiation combo. So, I'll do med ball throws up against the wall, rotational-style, and then chin-ups with some weight. I did these in the 3-6 rep range until I can't do that anymore. And then I ended up doing a trap bar squat and overhead press. https://youtu.be/CJgcqP_X8jM And then I usually do like a circuit of some - like something single leg. I did like a single-leg squat off a box. I do pushups. I do one-arm dumbbell row. And then, like the body saw. I did a circuit of that with just, you know, whatever reps I need. https://youtu.be/uBRYEyebmAY And then sometimes I'll follow with conditioning. But I did my favorite conditioning yesterday, which is kicking my man Francis ass and spike ball. Boom! You heard it internet. We usually play spike ball once a week and we have some good competition. We both have gotten pretty good. We did this thing where we were just playing Spikeball one on one for months because we both sucked. Tim: Sure? Zac: We didn't tell anyone. Tim: One on one spike ball? Zac: Yes. It's weird, but it's fun. And so, Francis was killing me and I can't have that happen because I hate losing in all things. So, I'm like consuming YouTube videos and figuring out how to serve. And so, now I can serve with both hands... Tim: Walking around with the spike balk all the time and go for it? Zac: Yes. And so, now we have some great games and we're just like hitting it way good. And we finally played two on two, not together, but it was way more competitive than we ever did. So, that was the skill that I learned. And that was my training session. Tim: How do you think kind of in the macro about structuring your own training? Like, do you have short, medium long-term training goals, and you kind of period eyes to accomplish those? Or are you more like a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy? Zac: I have my main moves that I alternate between. So, what stays the same, and I got this, it's the mass effect program from Daddy-o Pops himself, Bill Hartman, just with some slight modifications. It looks like this: Lift one: 4-6 reps Lift 2: 6-8 reps Lift3: 10-12 You do each of these until you fatigue out of those rep ranges. And then I just do, you know, two to three rounds of whatever else I feel like I need, which can be like eight to 12 reps. And if there's a day I need to condition, I'll do that. If I want to do some extra arm farm, I do that. So, the three mains are there. I keep trying to get better at them. But the other stuff just varies depending on what I'm feeling. Because my main goal training-wise is just to look good naked. Tim: Okay. Zac: And maintain decent body comp. Tim: No, more fat Zac? Zac: Yes. Fat Zac is done. Tim: Fat Zac's not coming back? Zac: He's done. Tim: That guy was fun though. Zac: He was fun. Yes. He had the beard. He is like a young Santa. Tim: Couldn't touch his toes. Zac: Yes. Definitely couldn't squat. I still can't touch my toes, but I can squat now. So yes. And then like, you mentioned like periodization, I need to train enough that someone can take me seriously from a movement standpoint. It's kind of like looking the part when you're being a PT because I do think that that matters to some extent. https://youtu.be/UEZZEWyBN78 Tim: Yes. Zac: But right now, the highest priority is work, teaching, all that stuff, learning the craft. And so, that's always going to be the A1 for right now. Tim: The A1 of life. Yes. A2 is fitness. Time management vs energy management Tim: You gifted me a Scott Adams book about five or six months ago. In it, he talks a lot about this myth of time management and argues that time isn't necessarily the resource that we should be seeking to manage, but it's instead energy. And that in managing your own energy and taking on projects that seem to give you energy rather than drain them or tackling endeavors that seem to increase energy, you can get a lot more done versus just trying to very efficiently kind of micromanage your own time. So, you're one of the most kind of efficient, effective, prolific people that I personally know within our field. What do you think about this energy management concept? Is that something that kind of lets you do the amount of work that you do? Zac: It's very easy to waste time on frivolous things and I try to do my best to minimize that now. But I think because I have a little bit more freedom to do that now. I can, I think, for example, a couple of years ago I had the shackles of student loans, so it's like, I'll take on anything I can do to try to manage that. But I do think about that when I'm thinking about things that don't bring joy into my life, like social media, for example. Tim: Sure. Zac: I try to stay off that as much as humanly possible. Because it does take energy, even answering texts. Like I'm horrendous about getting back to people via text message or phone calls because I eliminated notifications on that. Because even that takes energy out. Tim: Yes. Zac: Even being around certain people who suck the life out of you... Tim: Exactly the black hole type of thing? Zac: Yes. But at the same time, I do think time management to some extent is important as well because, sometimes you might have to do things that are energy-draining, but they help move the needle forward. Does he talk about following your passion as well and how that's BS? Tim: Yes. Zac: Okay. Tim: And I've probably had that conversation with like 10 people over the past week that like passion is fleeting. It's, you know, rocket fuel, but it's not actually going to sustain you over the longer. It opposes a lot of advice that you conventionally hear. Zac: Yes. Well, what you have to do and there's another good guy you should read it. I might have an extra book. I'll give it to you. MJ DeMarco. He wrote "The Millionaire Fast Lane" and "Unscripted." He talks about that as well in the sense that you don't want to do things that you're passionate about. You want to do things that are going to have a positive impact on the world and change things forever. And then if you do that and you make enough money from that, you eventually will become passionate about it becauseyou're making an impact. Tim: Yes. Zac: I love video games, but I'm not going to be making money, playing video games unless I started... Tim: I was thinking about Twitch and Onlyfans. And I'm like, is there a way to combine those concepts and maybe have people pay you to watch you play video games in a reduced amount of clothing? Zac: Haha right? But even with that, sure, you can make money, but Twitch is not going to change the world. Tim: Sure. Zac: And I want to try to make the little world that I'm in, that we're in, a better place in that sense. And that's really the crux of what I do. That's why I try to take complex things and simplify them so most people can carry it out. I have a lot of good friends who are really smart, but they might not be able to devote the time and energy to diving deep into topics because maybe they got kids to worry about and all this stuff and well, they still patients to take care of. Tim: Yes. Zac: And so, if I can help that person get better a little bit faster, then I think we all win. Tim: I mean, and is doing that something that you find gives you more energy than it drains or drains kind of a minimal amount of energy? Zac: Yes, absolutely. I could teach, talk all the time. I love that. Even doing these podcasts. It's so much fun and then it's just time flies by. Because then it's also, you're just interacting with people and... Tim: Also real-life people. Zac: I know. Right? The failure that changed everything Tim: That's useful. I think along the same lines of that book, it's in the title that he's amassed a massive amount of failures and yet still is an extraordinary success. Thinking about kind of your own life professionally in the past five or 10 years, what are some of your favorite failures? Zac: Professional basketball. The thing that I had going into that was getting to pro basketball kind of a big deal. And I probably let that get to my head a little bit. I think I had a little bit of a Dunning-Kruger effect kicking in. Even though like I still would say back then, I was a pretty good practitioner. I'm much better now. But I think I let that get the best of me that I was in that setting. I can't say that that's why I was fired, but after that happened, it completely flipped everything. I did a lot of soulsearching during that time period. And there were four books that I read that just like changed everything. Tim: I bet I know one of them. Zac: Which one? Tim: "Extreme Ownership." Zac: That was definitely one of them. That was one, "The Obstacles is the Way," "Ego is the Enemy” both by Ryan Holiday and then "The Subtle Art of not Giving a Fuck." by Mark Manson. I read those four and that's when I realized my behaviors, my issues were the problem. And I was able to do things to flip that and just be more humble, reacquire the beginner's mindset, interact better with peers and people who I'm working with. And it really made a big difference. And I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful that I was out of that situation. It pushed me towards more of what I really like, which is this. And the fact that now I have a bit more freedom flexibility than I did in the league, was huge. That's probably the biggest failure that has flipped things for me. [caption id="attachment_13675" align="aligncenter" width="375"] the failure that led to this[/caption] Tim: Going back to something that we discussed, like removing things in your life that are not really serving you. The hard truth is those are people and probably people that you've known a really long time. And you know, If you can't kind of reflect back on your own life and make a decision about which people you're spending time with, you're liable to get trapped in a lot of, and trap is probably a strong word, but waste the resource of energy on relationships that aren't getting you to where you want to go. Zac: Is that something that you ever struggled with? When you knew you had to move on from a situation or a person? Tim: Yes. The job I took right out of school being a director of rehab in rural Colorado. That was so nice because it was lucrative. It was flexible. I think I could still do a lot of the things that I wanted to, because it was a three-day work week. In a lot of ways, it was the perfect situation, but it didn't have any upward trajectory to it. I started at the ceiling. I'm immensely grateful that I had that opportunity. And I think it changed me for the better, in many ways. But after my three years and change out there, I knew it was time to do something else. Something that had a little bit more of an avenue for growth. Zac: Yes. It's hard when you get comfortable like that because the chance of getting stagnant is significantly higher. And so, you always got to put yourself in slightly uncomfortable positions, I think, to really grow. Tim: Yes. It's a really interesting juxtaposition. I mean, that's something I think about all the time that type A people, kind of people like you and I, a lot of what drives us is we're not happy with the way things are. But if you let that mindset pervade everything, then you never really enjoy what you have. So, it's a really interesting tight rope to balance kind of, as physical therapists, as athletes, as human beings, how do we hold these two seemingly opposing ideas in our head simultaneously and not kind of fall apart? Zac: Yes. That's hard. Tim: Yes. Zac: I definitely let that bleed into areas that it shouldn't bleed into. Tim: Yes. Some things in life are just fine and they're okay the way they are. They don't need to be optimized. Zac: Yes. There are some things too that you got to just keep pushing. Tim: Absolutely. I mean, that's how people do great things. You're not going to just get this great opportunity kind of plopped in your lab. Zac: How do you find the balance? You probably are better than me. Tim: I don't know. I don't think I have a really good answer. I was talking to a mutual friend that we have, Aline Thompson. She was mentioning this friend that she has an incredibly high-powered tech broker of some type, makes boatloads of money. But he's a really, really good chef. And he says that the second he no longer has time to cook each day, that's the line in the sand that he draws between. That means he's striving too much. That means he's packing so much into his day that he can't just enjoy what he already has, which is quality time doing something good for himself, for his family, for his children. That really hit home. I love to cook as well. I also like to play Frisbee with my dog, Molly. If I can't take 10 or 15 minutes to do that like that's another - like I just want that to be built into my day-to-day. And then if I can maintain these things and then continue to strive and see certain life, key performance indicators trending in the right direction, I am doing an okay job. Zac: That's something I probably struggle with because I'm thinking about like, as you were saying that I'm like, "That's brilliant. Like everyone needs to find their cooking." And I don't know what mine is. Tim: I think for a lot of people it's working out. Zac: Yes. Tim: Probably not in our industry, because I think we are the people that will probably sacrifice in order to train and train at very inconvenient times. But I think for 99% of the American population, that's one of the early things to go. Zac: Yes. That's very reasonable. See, I can't fathom not having that. It's so automatic at this point that - there was one time where maybe I didn't work out and I'm like, I'll notice that one day, if I had a plan to workout, I can't do it. But I've never gotten to the point where I've worked so much that I've had to cut that out. Tim: And you do, and it's like a super power. But you go about the rest of your day supercharged, you know that you've done something that's probably more difficult than 90% of the people that you're going to interact with have completed that day. Especially for people like I'm a big morning trainer. Zac: Really? Tim: Yes. I'd love to train at like 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM. And that's recent. That's as I've gotten older, but in terms of the Scott Adams concept of adding energy to your life, it's like, that is something that so acutely drains you of energy and yet so quickly fills you right back up. Zac: Yes. It is interesting how that works. Isn't it? Can we get postural changes to stick? Tim: You and I, both physical therapists, we commonly see people that present with particular movement behaviors or positions. And I think one of the most pervasive ideas in our industry is that there's a bad posture or a bad position. Right? Like extension, anterior, pelvic tilt, rotation. What have you? Zac: Oh sure. Tim: There's this idea that there are these bad postures and people have bad postures and well just swap it out for a good posture and they're going to be good to go. Something you and I have talked about before is these postures positions, movement behaviors emerge in order to solve a particular problem? To manage gravity, to breathe, to better prepare you for a training stressor that you've experienced before. So, I guess how do you think about replacing a less than ideal movement behavior or pattern with a better one, because that's kind of what we do with these resets, with these drills to regain mobility? And how do you think about making that intervention like quote-unquote, "sticky" enough so that a person doesn't revert back as quickly as possible? Zac: I don't think it's replacing one for another. I think the key is giving more options. So, for example, if we go with like the forward head, I'm sitting at the chair for an extended period of time, you do that long enough, something might get cranky just because of tissue ischemia or whatever. At the same time, if you sit perched upright and have a good posture, and you hold that long enough, you could probably run into similar issues. [caption id="attachment_13676" align="aligncenter" width="376"] Cranky AF[/caption] But if you can get into each of those and a bazillion more, well, then you're never really overloading any specific areas. And I think it makes you more adept to surviving in several different environments. And I think really that's the key and that's like, what movement variability is all about is you need as many different ways to perform the task as possible even if you're getting the same consistent output. So, like if I did 10 squats and even though they looked exactly the same to the naked eye, if I have to remove that variability, there should be subtle differences with each one of those squats, but it's when I don't have those options available that problem ensue Tim: In both coordinative and endpoint variability. Zac: Exactly. I think that's really where the money is. Now, how do we get that to stick? It's basically, getting people into positions that they can't normally get into or struggle maintaining into and then being able to demonstrate that at progressive intensities and complexities. So, for example, you know, if we look at you and you know because we worked together for a minute. In the beginning, we started with some simple drills, some single leg positions, more supportive, really emphasized breathing. And look at where you're ay when we worked together the other day. Now we're giving you loaded-based strategies... Tim: Kicking ass, taking in? Zac: Yes, yes. Getting you a ridiculous pump. But the thought process is still there because you have the same needs, but can you maintain the positions that we had you get into that we'll get you those needs under higher intensities? Yesterday he did. Tim: And I like that. It's just it's incredibly intriguing to me, this notion that human beings lose movement options, either via physical structure or secondary training adaptations, lifestyle factors. And then it kind of, and I say this as a physical therapist who makes these changes on a daily basis, it shocks me that anything that we do has the power to override whatever stimulus came before to lead to that decrease in variability. Zac: Yes. Tim: You know what I mean? Zac: Yes. Because you're looking at reps time, all that stuff. Tim: Right. I mean, it's almost to think anything in the gym could actually have that prolonged, have an effect. I mean, it also brings up the issue of in a perfect world. Nobody would need activities to regain movement options. That would be the goal, right? You just walk into the gym and you train and your body adapts to the training with no deleterious secondary consequences. That's obviously not the world that we live in, but it does seem like some people need a far lesser volume of these reset low-level types of activities. And they can kind of progress away from that over time. Whereas some people, for whatever reason, you know, need that consistent manual therapy, stimulus or consistent low-level stimulus in order to make these changes stick. Zac: Yes. Well, I think the key is the body has to deem it meaningful and novel and salient. And I'll give you an example. If let's say, you witnessed something terrible happened, anything. Something of 9/11 proportions and it happened right before your eyes. You would remember that for the rest of your life. And it might be just one moment, one instance. And that could shape and shift everything that you thought before that. And I remember when I listened to Lorimer Moseley, he was talking about - I think my buddy Eric was talking about how taking NSAIDs could impair learning. And Lorimer gave the analogy if someone shot a gun right by you, you would remember that that happened, even if you were dosed up on NSAIDS. Tim: Sure. Zac: Of it's meaningful and novel enough, I think it could still lead to long-lasting changes. Tim: Right. Zac: Right? Now, does that mean the equivalent of you doing quadraped breathing is something like witnessing a horrific event? No. But your body might deem it novel and meaningful enough that it does remember that. And it does stick for some people. Tim: Yes. Zac: So, my point by bringing that up is we just don't know what's going to cause things to stick. Whereas some people might need continual reinforcement over and over and over again to get meaningful change. Tim: Something that, like David Gray and Gary Ward talk about all the time is, essentially that same thing, putting people in positions. But then if the nervous system likes that position, it'll remember that position and there's no need to revisit it as long as that's what it reaches for the next time it tries to solve a particular environmental or movement task. And that kind of makes some sense to me because if we think again about the Genesis of these like maladaptive, postures and positions, they are trying to solve a problem, get air in, maintain your ability to view your monitor while you're sitting in a chair, they don't emerge for no reason. This is a Seth Oberst quote, but everybody's body is doing exactly what it needs to do. The dark side of sensorimotor cueing Tim: What you and I do with people involves a high degree of sensorimotor cueuing, right? Having people maintain particular positions. Do you think that there's a potential dark side to sensorimotor cueuing and that it might put people sort of two in their own bodies if kind of left unchecked? If most of their program is find your heels, tuck your hips, breathe this particular way, shift left. Do you find yourself needing to pull that out at certain times for certain people when you design programs? Zac: Yes. I definitely think there's definitely a certain portion of people who can fall victim to that. Tim: Yes. What are those people typically like? I think I know what you're going to say, but I'm interested. Zac: Yes. They're almost hyper-aware of everything in a negative sense. And then that becomes their identity essentially. I feel twisted. I feel twerked. It's the person who gives me the laundry list of anatomical terminology that they shouldn't know, but they know. That can definitely be a problem because it's almost like when they get so intune to their bodies, but focusing only on the negatives. So, with those people, yes, a lot of it is education "It's no, you do not have to tuck your hips with every step you take every move you make." Tim: Because Zac's going to be watching you. Zac: Yes. In the creepiest way possible. Tim: From a deep squat with a really long beard. [caption id="attachment_13677" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Like a boss![/caption] Zac: Yes. And then just like, no, you don't have to feel your heels all the time when you walk and stuff like that. And it's educating them that, "Look, we're just using this as a strategy to increase your movement repertoire." And yes, I think if you can do that and frame the right mindset that can potentially mitigate some of that. Or I think that could also be where, especially when you get to loaded activities, a focus more towards external queuing might be useful. You know? Tim: I like that. I think something that Michelle Boland, Coach Bo, and I talk about frequently. Shout out to coach Bo. Is the need to have things in a programmer or in your life that just make you feel like you're a strong, capable human that doesn't need to think him or herself into positions to be able to execute a task. All of my practices have always been in CrossFit gyms. And I think that this is something that CrossFit gyms do incredibly well. And no CrossFit gym is perfect. And I have my issues with the moves that are commonly prescribed the over-reliance on barbells, but they do a really good job of getting people that haven't been doing anything intense and getting them to not fear doing a hang snatch, doing a deadlift from the ground. And I think that's really impactful in a completely different way. Because I think people like you and I take into one extreme sort of becoming those clinicians, those practitioners that are really potentially propagating a lot of this like fear of movement. Zac: It's something I definitely think about as well. Because I do get people who come to me and it's like, they've learned similar things to me, but they think about it in such a negative way. Like "I have to fix this anterior tilt." Well, if you're standing against gravity, you're always going to have that because that's the norm. There's a good podcast that Doug Kechijian did with Boo Schexnayder. He mentions that you should always be exposing them to intensity. And in order to produce intensity or move fast, you can't think, and relaxation is paramount. And I think if there's one thing it's probably shifted this year, is really appreciating that. But and here's where I still think respecting biomechanics comes in. You have to make sure that you choose activities that are appropriate for that individual, that they can execute without having the risk for potentially performing it in a negative manner. So, that could be doing a seated box jump, which it's almost like the constraints of the activity, get them into positions that they need to. Or, I've been using a lot of fake throws lately. https://youtu.be/riB-dGofs98 Tim: To load a cut? Zac: To load a cut or just to get them rotating pain-free or anything like that. Because you have to relax enough and move fast, but then you also have to stop fast. So, it kind of hits everything or just med ball throws. Like even though I talk a lot about biomechanics and stuff like that, if you look at how I actually program for someone, it has all of those other elements. And I keep the concepts the same and the progressions appropriate with within movement options that they have available. But they're not always having to think. They might think about the setup, but then when they're executing the movement, I don't have to think about anything. Because when you are thinking you can't move fast, that's when you get beat. Tim: Yes. That's what I like. I mean, one of my favorite lifts of all time is a single-arm dumbbell floor press, for that reason. Because like there's still enough range of motion to load and you can let 98% of people that would ever walk into your training facility can do that drill. https://youtu.be/oGKufR-a4Mg And the single-arm just forces some innate sense of not having the weight, rotate you off your back. T he goblet squats is another one. It's like, it's these things that people in our industry have been doing for a really long time, because they're just so simple and people can try hard, like you said, relax not think. Zac: Yes. Or like sleds, med ball throws, and carries. Those are all - if you have someone who is not exposed to much loading, that's a great way to produce intensity and not have to think "Oh, you know, man, I love machines." Love them. Tim: I know. We know you do. Zac: love them. In fact, one of my training is I'll load up the BFR cuffs and I'll go into my complex and just go ham on a leg press and all that. That's great. I look good for one day of the week. And that's my day for about 20 minutes. Tim: Got a sick leg pump. Zac: Yes. Just the veins out... Tim: Bursting out of your khakis? Zac: Exactly. How to maximize patient communication Tim: Speak to your journey in regards to your communication. How have you arrived at your current strategy for how to best communicate with probably both your clients and colleagues? How has that changed over the past five years? Zac: A lot. I was for a while, obsessed with learning about how to best interact with people. I think I was a pretty shy kid growing up. Quiet, uncertain of myself. But I found that whenever you got someone else talking, people would end up really liking you. Tim: Dale Carnegie. Zac: Honestly. Exactly. Yes. I forget the phrases that he says in his book? There's another one... Tim: Is it be interested, not interesting? Zac: Yes. Another quote I heard somewhere or this woman had met like these two higher-ups in English government and she talked to them about the first one. And she was like, "When I talked with this person, I thought he was the most interesting person in all of the UK." And then she said, "But when I talked to the other person, I thought I was the most interesting person in all of the UK." And that really hit home for me. And I try to, when I'm interacting with people, get that vibe. But at the same time too, the issue that I've run with when I've spent all of this time, learning with my interactions is in the beginning, I was just asking a lot of questions, almost interviewing people. And sometimes that can be off-putting if done in that way. So, to mitigate that, instead of asking a bunch of questions, there's a technique called elicitation that I've been experimenting with. And how people are going to be like," How is he eliciting me?" But basically, it's like getting information out of someone without coming off as a threatening thing. So, like if I come to Tim and I say, "Did you do this?" And say you did something wrong, whatever. Your inclination might be to go on the defense. And so, you might lie or you might say, "Well, yes I did. But it was because of this, this, this, this, and this." And that's not good. But if I wanted you to admit to that, I might say something or like a presumptive statement. It's like, "So what was it like when you did that?" Or "So you did X." And almost making assumptions to try to understand the other person or inferences based on what they said. I think helps build a greater connection because it shows that you not only are listening to them, but you're also understanding where they're coming from. And I think that's really important when it comes to human interaction and what I really focus on. And here's the cool thing about it. And there's actually a really good book by this FBI agent that goes into this, "If you're wrong about the assumption that I make..." Tim: The inference. Zac: The inference, that's still, doesn't lead to a negative interaction because people are so willing to correct any mistake that you make, but you'll still get the interaction. Like in the book, he talks about, if you're talking politics with someone, you might actually say someone has, I don't know, they say something and they're a Republican and you make the inference like, "Oh, well it sounds like something you might've gotten from FDR." And they might get so adamantly taking it back to like, "Like no, that's because Ronald Reagan did this, this and this." And so, then now you actually know their political bias and you didn't even have to ask... Tim: That direct question. Zac: Yes. And so, I think not having direct questioning can provide a lot more useful information because when you question can come off as interrogation. That's like some of the logistical things. But I think even more important than that is having good body language with someone. We were talking about Bill Clinton. One of my clients knows Bill pretty well; has met him multiple times. Everything you read about Bill in a positive light, obviously he's done some questionable things. But from an interaction standpoint, is a hundred percent true. And he has five different things that he thinks about when he's interacting with someone to build a rapport: Eye contact Close proximity The person's name Direction facing Tocuh Tim: Okay. Zac: So, like now if you do all of that at once, that can be a bit much. But if you're alternating among all of those variables, you can build an intimate connection with someone and have good rapport. And so, when I'm interacting with someone, I do think about those things. Not so overtly that it's like, "Okay, let's hit point number five." But those are things I think about incorporating whenever I'm interacting with someone, you know? And there's a reason why I try to sit on people's left most of the time, aside from it makes my neck more comfortable. And that's because the right hemisphere of your brain is where your emotional centers are. So, in theory, if I'm sending more information to that side, I could potentially build a greater emotional bond with you. Tim: Yes. Zac: You might be hearing this and it's like, "Oh gosh, this just sounds like every interaction is Zac making is this calculated thing." But it's not that. It's not if it's genuine. I think the reason why I dove into that so much is that I just wanted to connect with people, you know? Tim: Yes. Zac: I think back in my younger days, I was not in the best place mentally. I'm shy. And I didn't want that because human connection is something that we crave. So, if you can do anything that maximizes that, so it's beneficial for both parties or all parties involved. I don't think there's anything malicious about that. And that's something we should practice as a skill just like anything else. Tim: And it's intentional until it becomes automatic. Zac: Yes. Tim: And then it becomes automatic because frankly, a lot of those things are probably some of the best ways to connect with people. And I'm right there with you. Like you know, I think 90% of the reason why I do what we do is the ability to connect with people. I used to think it was the biomechanics and it's not, that evolves, that changes, but that connection... Zac: Absolutely. Tim: You know, we're in kind of rarefied air in terms of healthcare practitioners. Zac: Yes. And that's why I always wax and wane with manual therapy, but I always come back to it to some extent. Because touch is a form of connection. Tim: Yes. And its proximity without threat. Right. It's not this interview type of vibe. Zac: Yes, absolutely. Tim: Although we have a good 90-degree angle situation going on right now, [caption id="attachment_13679" align="alignnone" width="810"] Bruh on the left has it figured out (Image by uh_yeah_20101995 from Pixabay) [/caption] Zac: And there's a reason for that. So, and especially too, this is an interesting, a little difference between the sexes. If women, when they're interacting with each other, they generally face each other. And that's probably because they're generally more social creatures than us. They have more agreeableness and things of that nature. So, if you think back to like Hunter-gatherer times, that would be a useful thing. And so, that helps build more intimacy, but men who are close generally do not face each other. And the reason why is because when you're facing a man directly, it almost comes off as aggressive. Like you're going to challenge someone. So, that's why like, you know, bros, when they're hanging out, they're always like sitting. Right. And I think that there's a reason for that. And so, you can also based on whether it's someone's male or female, that can also influence the interaction depending on what direction you're trying to go. So, it's important. It's an important thing to recognize if you're working with people. Sum up Choose activities and people in your life that bring more energy, whioch will allow you to be a more productive member of society. Failure allows you to learn from your mistakes and create the life you want to live. You must push to great, but reconcile that some things are good as is. Movement beheavior change requires novelty, which is different for everyone. Sensorimotor cueing can have negative impacts on certain people; mitigate this through education and appropriate exercise selection. Pleasant interactions are acheived by being interested, elicitative language, and effective nonverbal communication.

I'm joined today by Gary Ward of Anatomy in Motion for a deep dive into the biomechanics of movement. Gary has a wonderful model for describing biomechanics, and focuses a lot of his efforts on the feet. In this episode, we talk about why the feet are so important for efficient, pain-free movement and the many ways that working the feet can help with function, rehabilitation, and overall performance. He talks about the simple foot wedges he developed and how using them to work the feet can even help issues that are far away and seem very unrelated -- like shoulder pain or restrictions. Gary also shares some insights into the education curriculum he offers for rehab and fitness professionals, which I definitely recommend for anyone who's interested!
In this episode of the Big Happy Book Club series, I talked to Biomechanics and Injury Movement Specialist, Ellie Williams about her choice of life-changing book, 'What the Foot' by Gary Ward. The fascinating insights she shares - both from the book and from her own experience - will have you questioning many of the things you've come to believe about how the body works. Hear her take on "No pain, no gain" and find out whether it's really a good idea to stabilise your core...

Key Takeaways Peak performance training just isn’t sustainable. Sooner or later, something is going to give. Instead of just pushing their physical limits to the breaking point, strength training in an optimal way will help establish actual healthy results and heal a career of injury. Many of us work, play, and train at full throttle. But when we overdo it, we create problems whose solutions go beyond massage, adjustments, and ultrasounds. Today’s guest helps her clients rehabilitate through a conscious and comprehensive strength training approach. About Aleena Kanner Aleena Kanner is a Certified Athletic Trainer and NASM Certified Personal Trainer. She obtained a Master’s degree from the University of Arkansas in 2016. Soon after, Aleena opened her own business in New York City to bridge the gap between rehabilitation, movement, and resistance training with her clients. Aleena’s approach to strength training centers on optimizing individual performance and longevity by teaching individuals to become the masters of their own habits. She believes that rehab and strength training are on a continuum and that in order to feel our best we must move efficiently, load effectively, and train repetitively. Athleticism is not Health Many people confuse athletics with health. Looking at Olympians and other high-level performers, it’s easy to conclude that they represent the pinnacle of health. Aleena knows that that is often not the case. Often, they’re injured and overtraining with hormonal imbalances. Moving Better for Better Health Being able to load and move the body in an efficient way is the foundation of better strength training. This means moving away from symmetrical stances and emphasizing functional movement. In particular, getting the ribs in the right position so that they aren’t flaring, is at the foundation of Aleena’s approach. How can strength training play a role in your rehabilitation?

Gary Ward is the founder of Anatomy in Motion & specalizes in foot function within the human body.
Today we welcome to the show human movement expert and author of "What The Foot?", Gary Ward. Over the next 60 minutes we dive into the following: - What is quality human movement? - How gait and foot mechanics determine health and pain upstream in the body. - Are movement compensations truly a bad thing? - What misleading "pain beliefs" are holding you back from living pain-free? If you’ve ever dealt with lingering pain or lost range of motion in your body, you’re not going to want this next 60 minutes of conversation. Enjoy! Show Notes: 0:00 – Who is Gary Ward? 1:30 – Gary explains his affinity for feet and why they’re the key to human movement. 8:15 – We discuss Gary’s Rule #2: Joints act, muscles react, aka, why joints are not dumb. 12:00 – Gary then explains Rule #1: Muscles lengthen before the contract. 19:15 – What is “Nobody-ever-moved-me-itis” and why is it important to regain lost movement ranges to relieve pain in the body? 25:50 – We discuss some of the most common (and untrue) “pain beliefs” that hold people back from moving well & living pain-free. 28:50 – Why pronation of the foot is necessary. 31:45 – Gary explains why assessing gait can’t be “scientifically-backed”. 34:45 – What IS quality movement? 37:40 – Gary gives us a super interesting personal anecdote to highlight just how connected the human body really is. 40:50 – We discuss Freyja’s spinal injury and Gary describes just how intensely an SCM issue can impact everything down to the foot, and how (with the right approach) you can alternatively trace a foot problem all the way up to the head. 45:00 – Why “compensations” and “dysfunctions” can actually be good things. 48:20 – More about Anatomy in Motion and Finding Centre, and why no therapist will ever be able to “fix you”. 52:50 – Gary’s book recommendation: - How to Eat, Move & Be Healthy! By Paul Chek 54:20 – Gary’s daily self-care habit: Daily check-in. 58:00 – One piece of health advice from Gary?

Today’s episode features biomechanics specialist and rehabilitation expert, David Grey. David runs the Grey Injury Clinic and helps athletes with injury, pain, rehab, and performance. David has learned under a great number of mentors, and is influenced greatly by the work of Gary Ward who is a 2x previous podcast guest and the creator of the “Anatomy in Motion” system. David is also influenced by systems such as PRI and the martial arts. Through his diverse studies and experience, David is able to get athletes and clients out of pain who have previously been through months of traditional therapy with limited results. He previously appeared on episode #160 of the podcast where he spoke on the link between pronation and using the glutes effectively. In training and rehab, we so often look to exercises that strengthen, before we put a priority on biomechanics and joint actions. The problem is, that in treating pain, unless we fix the biomechanics, no matter how good the strength treatment was, the problem will eventually return. We know that in performance training, we want to build a “base of technique” because the way our body forms from a myo-fascial perspective as a season of training unfolds is going to be based on our technique. Bad technique can yield the result of muscles getting active and trained that shouldn’t, and other important muscle groups getting under-developed. By training the right joint motions, and getting the feet to work properly, we take a huge step in getting athletes to reaching their highest potential. On the podcast today, David goes through a joint-based approach to working with those who have Achilles pain, and particularly, knee pain. He gets into the necessary co-contractions needed to help stabilize the knee joint, and why calcaneus mobility is important for both Achilles tendon and knee tendon injury prevention. We start out the talk with a chat on the feet, how barefoot training might not be all that it’s cracked up to be for some athletes, and the balance between pronation and supination of the foot in performance training. All this and more is in the latest podcast. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. View more podcast episodes at the podcast homepage. Timestamps and Main Points 5:00 The importance of supination in human movement and athletics, as well as why it is more important to think in terms of pronat-ing and supinat-ing rather than pronation and supination. 12:00 How sensation on the sole of the foot is essential for pronating properly and why simply walking around barefoot may not be truly helpful. 26:30 Supination, and its relationship between running, jumping and power in propulsion 36:00 Why joint motion should be the root of our efforts in injury prevention, rather than simply treating the tissue through strength-based exercises 45:30 Major biomechanical issues that show up with those athletes who have knee pain 50:00 The importance of stiffness, when called upon, in preventing knee pain 54:30 Using isometrics to assist co-contractions to help improve knee function 1:04.30 Thoughts on a joint based approach to knee pain “I would be much happier with you having a flat foot that can experience some pronation and supination, versus a person with a neutral foot who can experience neither” “People saying that “pronation is bad” is like saying “you shouldn’t bend your spine to the left” “A collapse and a pronation are two different things” “I don’t sell posture as a way to fix pain, I only relate to posture as a way to access movement” “(In regards to tendon pain) If we are always going to presume that the tendon is the problem, then we are always going to assume that strength is the answer… but the problem is not always the tendon”

Today’s episode features personal trainer and human movement expert, Rocky Snyder. Rocky is the owner of Rocky’s Fitness in Santa Cruz, California, and is an experienced personal trainer, as well as accomplished surfer and snowboarder. Rocky has taken an absolutely immense amount of continuing education in human performance, and is the author of four books. His most recent being “Return to Center” , which featured a unique integration of a joint-based model of training and movement coaching, combined with neurological assessment of effectiveness. “Return to Center” is the first training book in a very long time (outside of “Even with Your Shoes On” by Helen Hall that I read earlier this year), that I absolutely devoured (both books has heavy inspiration from Gary Ward, who has been a 2 time guest on this podcast, and developed the “Flow-Motion” model of tri-planar joint based analysis of human movement). When it comes to “functional training” we often think of things like working on balance boards, or perhaps in a more realistic world, things like single leg training and lots of bodyweight gait-pattern style movements, like crawling and heavy carries. Even in using these movements which are inherently more tied to human gait, they are often still performed under “manufactured” paradigms that take them outside of the scope of natural human movement and elasticity. Rocky has an incredible command of human movement principles, and can describe how these principles are showing up (or not!) in any exercise done in the gym, which is really the core of what we might call functional training. For today’s podcast, Rocky tackles questions regarding his own joint-centered approach to training, as well as specifically how he looks at lunges and single leg training in relation to the gait cycle, and how doing this optimally will improve joint health, VMO and glute development, as well as athletic performance markers and injury reduction. This was a show that is a real key-stone in being able to truly train athletes on an individual level. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Timestamps and Main Points 8:10 Key aspects of Rocky’s journey of movement and learning about the human body 22:40 How Rocky assesses clients using a tri-planar and joint-centered approach 29:10 How Rocky uses lunges in all three planes to assess athletes 45:40 When inward knee travel becomes a problem to Rocky in athletic movement 56:10 How to observe athletes to determine if athletes have excessive medial knee travel in their general movements 59:10 How to train squatting under load with respect to natural movement 1:03.10 Rocky’s take on bilateral to unilateral/functional work in a training program Quotes “When getting the body to move as joints are expected to move, amazing things can happen” “If we bring the body back into a more centrated place, the brain is going to allow a greater deal of force production” “If you’re not going to explore how the (frontal and transverse planes) move then it’s going to reduce your ability to produce force in the sagittal plane” “By knowing how the joints move in any exercise, it can tell the coach exactly what you are missing… the bottom line is that you should know how the body moves” “The knee, when it pronates, should be flexing and externally rotating… the knee joint itself is rotating towards the midline faster than the tibia… am I seeing that when someone is lunging, or are they keeping it over the second toe because they have been told that it shouldn’t drive inward” “A lunge is just an exaggeration of a walk, a gait pattern, that’s what a lunge should be” “(In a lunge) Is the pelvis rotating away from the back leg and towards the front leg” “There are some people who may clean their movements up by loading them”...

As the coronavirus crisis takes hold, consumer concerns about food safety are seemingly overtaking the recent drive towards greater environmental sustainability in the fresh produce aisles. We ask StePac's chief technology officer Gary Ward, a leading expert on fruit and vegetable packaging trends, how these two competing concerns might eventually be resolved.
Today’s episode features biomechanist and foot expert, Gary Ward. Gary is the author of the book “What the Foot” inventor of the “Flow Motion Model”, and gives his “Anatomy in Motion” clinics throughout the world. He is a leading thinker in human movement and mechanics, and is a master of getting people to function better through giving them back their joint movement and sensation. Gary was a guest back on podcast #98 where he went in depth on the importance of proper pronation and how to teach it along with many other concepts on foot health and performance. The foot (and human body in general) is an incredibly complex structure, and often times we reduce our understanding of it down to “just stretch this muscle and strengthen this other one”, or “let’s try to point those feet or knees in a particular direction that we deem correct”. At the end of the day, the body is always doing the best that it can, given the sensory information that it has. When we lack sensory information, we will have trouble moving our joints and bones properly, and things tend to go downhill from there. Gary helps us to holistically understand the way the body works based on its own incredible ability to interpret information and heal itself. For today’s episode, Gary and I talk about some performance-driven issues and aspects of foot training. We start out with a chat about those athletes who tend to walk with the toes “turned out” and if this is something that should be labeled as “dysfunctional” and in need of correction. We also cover thoughts on athletes with high arches, and elements that are interfering with their ability to flatten the arch and pronate. We also get into instructing athletes in single leg stance drills and how this relates to the concept of “finding center” (and how the use of wedges, paper or even blocks of cheese can help fill in sensory gaps in stance). Finally, we cover the idea of pronation versus over-pronation, and how the oppositional action of the foot is an important consideration in the ability to “put on the accelerator without the brake” in movement and gait. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points Thoughts on athletes whose feet are pointing outwards (duck foot) What does dysfunction really mean? Gary’s take on the idea of “dysfunction” and how to interpret it instead How to help athletes with high arches pronate correctly Gary’s thoughts on “finding center” and what stability really means How to instruct athletes who are performing single leg stance drills Pronation versus “over-pronation” in athletes Quotes “I never really view anything as a problem, I view things as information” “I’m not a big fan of the word dysfunction, because it becomes something you want to fix, rather than something you want to understand” “If you turn your feet out, what you notice is that your foot will pronate” “The vast majority of muscles in the foot are supinators” “It’s impossible to externally rotate a femur on a pronating foot” “A foot that’s turned out will have a rotational influence on the pelvis” “When I see someone with their foot turned out, rather than think I need to turn that in and be the correction, the information I am getting from that person is that they are turning that foot out to generate that pronation” “What’s always been exciting to me is to see unconscious change… the more you try the less you get. You have to get the environment right” “You don’t want to fight (the body) because we know that fight creates conflict… you need to remove the obstacles and encourage things to do the thing they are meant to do” “I say that joints give muscles something to do” “Most people’s feet end up very limited in movement” “Why do people turn their feet out,
Welcome to this weeks weMove podcast. Is something in your body hurting or not clicking right, are you ready to unwind your old assumptions about your body and movement to move forward. This episode might be just what you re looking for. On reflection into how I have tended to do things, I have, up until the last few years been very singular in my activities, life was all about climbing, then about developing a business, that led to running and on and on this went until I felt like I got to the end of the tracks for that way of being. I had no idea what the cost was of the movement/activities I was doing because that was all I was doing. In every instance it led to imbalances and an inevitable break down of the vehicle I was travelling in. My body. And lo and behold this episode is about ways and strategies to regain balance, resilience and connection to what can be done. We are speaking with Jill Miller co-founder of Tune Up Fitness Worldwide and creator of the self-care fitness formats Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method. With more than 30 years of study in anatomy and movement, she is a pioneer in forging relevant links between the worlds of fitness, yoga, massage, athletics and pain management. She is known as the Teacher's Teacher and has trained thousands of movement educators, clinicians, and manual therapists to incorporate her paradigm shifting self-care fitness programming into athletic and medical facility programs internationally. As the creator of some of the world's best mobility tools, she has crafted original programs for 24 Hour Fitness, Equinox, YogaWorks, and numerous professional sports teams. She and her team of 500+ trainers help you to live better in your body with an emphasis on proprioception, mobility, breath mechanics and recovery. This connects well with our Gary Ward episode and also the Rewire Project episode combining new ways of thinking to the worlds of fitness, health and wellbeing. Explore the edges, the opposites and all the grey areas in between. Crossfitters, be uncomfortable in meditation, explore the stillness. Yogi's? Be under load, lift weights, feel the resistance, feel the opposing forces and experience fully what you and your body can do. Enjoy.
Today’s episode features running coach, biomechanist, and endurance athlete, Helen Hall. Helen is the author of “Even With Your Shoes On”, a comprehensive manual on teaching running in a natural manner based on the sensory capabilities of the human body. She is a minimalist ultra-distance runner, 6 times Ironman and credited with being the world’s first ‘barefoot’ Iron(wo)man. Helen is the owner of the Perpetual Forward Motion School of Efficient Running, as well as a running injury clinic. Helen uses the latest movement science and gait analysis technology to help people find solutions for their pain and injuries. Helen is a level 4 Anatomy in Motion practitioner (former podcast guest Gary Ward’s system). Helen’s framework of building running technique based on sensory feedback, joint motion, and self-organization is unique and a breath of fresh air, given the lack of importance many coaching systems place on body awareness and natural learning. Even if you aren’t interested in running, the principles from Helen’s system carry over to sprinting, jumping and any other human movement that involves the gait cycle. In the last five to ten years, many of my own ideas on what constitutes effective technical coaching have been reformulated, based on the sensory and self-organization capabilities of the human body. Helen’s book has been a capstone of sorts on this period of learning in my own life, so I was excited to get her on the show to talk about her approach to coaching. On the show, we talk about how and why running shouldn’t be an injury-inducing form of exercise, as well as many points on Helen’s philosophy of improving running and human movement. Some specifics include the importance of awareness, why moving joints is superior to manual “muscle activation”, using lunge variations to determine glute contribution to running, as well as building running technique from a sagittal to frontal to transverse plane sequence, specifically addressing the role of posture and fixing “crossover” running. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points The question of jogging and running as a natural form of exercise, and if we as humans are actually “born to run” How a person can find their own best running technique through a process of noticing one’s own body Answering the question if there is ever room for internal cues in a coaching system Why activating and moving joints is superior to concentrically activating muscles for performance Using lunge variations to see if a runner could activate their glutes while moving How to build running technique through awareness and joint mobiliziation drills from a sagittal, frontal and then transverse plane sequence How to optimize running posture using wall-based spinal alignments How to fix crossover gait using frontal plane drill work “I passionately believe we are (born to run) because toddlers are at it before they really even can walk well” “Running is just another speed, another gear. A whole array of different speeds is what we do well. Going further and going long is what we do best of all. Enduring is in our evolutionary history” “People are disconnected from the way that they are doing anything… nobody notices anything.” “When a person runs and gets injured, is it how their body wants to run, or is it what they’ve been taught or think they should be doing. If it’s not what their body wants to do, but it’s being inflicted on the body by an opinion, then it’s quite possible that the body might not like it” “It’s not about telling people “how to”…. There’s a lot of confusion because so many of these “guidelines” contradict each other” “Let’s start by exploring, how do you walk, and when you go from your walk into your run, what changes?”
As seen on BBC's Dr. In the House - Gary Ward is an author, educator and speaker on the subject of human movement and anatomy. He is the inventor of the Flow Motion Model: a simple description of what the body does and when it does it… A powerful tool for both assessment and intervention of the human body in the quest for health through movement. Gary is the author of ‘What The Foot’ and teaches his work all over the world. Gary was originally a ski boot fitter in the Alps, where he became fascinated about anatomy and movement Training as a massage therapist and personal trainer, to have the quickest way in to working with the human body His work has developed into this: “ An anatomical description of the movement of each joint in the body through all three dimensions of movement, over a single footstep”, by generating a map to see those movements taking place The evolution of the Flow Motion Model, which consists of 12 phases Teaching his work to personal trainers and therapists Freedom to observe, test, feel and learn the movement connections throughout the entire body The joint shape dictates everything Joints act, muscles react Taking ownership of the body The only person who can heal you is you. You have to create the right balance in your system Doctor in The House https://drchatterjee.com/garyward/ ‘Finding Centre’, an affordable programme to help people to understand their bodies “The therapist shines the light on the dark spaces” Healing- giving the body the opportunity to achieve its optimal, efficient state What if better movement improves a number of modern illnesses? Tension in a muscle is stress in the body “People will walk into your room with their problem tattooed on their forehead, if you can just learn to read it” It doesn’t matter how much pain you are in, you can always find a comfortable position Encouraging kids to be active and not restricting their movement “Movement is the answer” Resources: Instagram : @GaryWard_AiM Facebook : www.facebook.com/anatomyinmotion www.findingcentre.co.uk www.whatthefoot.co.uk What The Foot Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1907261087/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=avnitouch-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1907261087&linkId=117b4763411c745431b58a69b1326646 Wake Your Body Up = www.findingcentre.co.uk/wakeyourbodyup
Hey there and welcome to this week's episode of the weMove podcast. This week's podcast is for those who are looking for or working towards improving themselves, their movement practice, their health practice, in fact any practice. And it follows on from the last two podcasts with Gary Ward and Severin Romanov. It's about awareness, and in that I mean cultivating awareness and within the cultivation of our awareness, a return to the fundamentals and to the principles of the very thing we are trying to improve. We recorded this episode back in March of this year and it's curious, to me at least how we have these conversations and how unknowingly at the time how relevant they are to us come the time we release them, because they are not recorded at the time only knowing they are a piece of the puzzle. And this is the next piece of the puzzle and our guest is Ray Carbullido the martial artist and visual artist from Hawaii Whilst his practices might not be your practice, for Ray it's the fundamentals and the experiences that martial arts has given him since he began practicing as a child that have enabled him to cultivate and develop himself and his potential. That is the essence of Rays message in his workshops and teachings. And I'm listening back to the podcast these months later it is astonishing to me how simple his messages when at the time I'm what I was hearing I wasn't in the right place to receive the information and now we put this out it feels to me like I can hear what he says and the simplicity in which awareness and the cultivation of awareness can be gained. It's cool it's really cool and it might be for you like it was some he kind of straight over my head but returning to it a few months later was exactly the podcast for me at this time so enjoy and as always let us know what you think
Thoughts on Gary Ward podcast with Chris and James
Hey there and welcome to another episode of the weMove podcast.Today we feature Gary Ward who was on our radar in Issue 1 of the magazine when we featured his book “What the foot” as an essential book to read for movement performance and health.Fast forward 3 or 4 years and we're speaking to him person having been connected by our growing network of like minds.Gary Ward is kind of a secret weapon in injury prevention, performance development and all around bodily health because Gary is interested in awareness and alignment. Awareness not only in the present sense but also awareness of our past.Because tuning in to the events of our past can shine a light on how it has informed our present way of moving, living and being and with this awareness we have the potential to improve our alignment of our body and I think it goes much deeper and I believe it helps a line our body and mind and our spirit in order to to reach your potential.Gary's credentials are working with some of the best football teams in the Premiership as well as various athletes and us regular folk. All starting life as a ski boot fitter in Chamonix. Who would have thought that those big stiff clunky boots would be the catalyst for working out how we can improve ourselves as human beings.Chris has been working with one of his is students Dominic Koch for I think the last year now and has had great improvements albeit seemingly having to take a few steps back in order to move forward which reminds me of a great quote I had a great quote yesterday which was to “withdraw before making the jump” and I think there's something in that. We have got to go back into our past to clean things up and realign them in order for us to reach where we set our sights on, and I think that goes across sports performance, health, life, work, everything.So enjoy this podcast , there are some really great ideas and insights from Gary. And if anyone's interested in ridding their body of the injuries that keep coming up for them its worth checking out what he does and his the methodologies Gary uses as part of his Anatomy in Motion methodology. I would certainly recommend it and from what I have seen and heard, it may well change the way you think and move and I'm pretty confident it will set you on a new path of achieving what you set out to achieve.
Today’s episode features Irish biomechanics specialist, David Grey. David is highly integrative, and has been influenced by many of the top minds in the world as he creates solutions to get clients to fix their movement, get out of pain, and in turn run and perform better. I’m not sure what got me turned onto David’s videos on Instagram (where I first found him), but as soon as I started watching them, I instantly realized that something special was happening based on these other guests I’ve had and what David was doing, and I could tell his work had many ties to previous guests such as Gary Ward and Adarian Barr. David has been strongly influenced by Gary, as well as having learned under a number of great mentors in the world of movement, S&C, gymnastics, stretching & mobility, Chinese martial arts and biomechanics. Today’s episode is all about pronation, the feet and an integrated view of biomechanics and muscle action. David’s specialty is restoring pronation to the foot (and the body, since pronation is a full body action). It was actually a video of Will Claye triple jumping that he commented on regarding the pronation that was happening that was the last straw in me knowing I had to get David on the show. Once you understand pronation, it’s like you just took the red pill in the Matrix, and everything and every way you look at things like weightlifting and sprint drills all change. On today’s show, we talk about the mechanics and restoration of pronation, toe gripping, training the hands, foot differentiation, co-contractions, and also David’s take on the “stable/mobile” joint idea. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points What’s drew David’s interest to the foot, his background, and his mentors in the field The dynamics of pronation, and how David observes this when athletes run and jump The adverse effects of toe gripping in squatting and running Methods to get pronation back in athletes How to train the hands for better upstream performance Foot differentiation and how the forefoot and rearfoot work in opposition David’s take on stable-mobile joint paradigms Co-contractions in athletic performance David Grey Quotes “Pronation is where all three arches of the foot are flattening to the floor at the same time. Pronation is a full body movement” “(Delayed knee extension) is a big thing” “Knee extension is a supination movement” “If the knee comes back too early, you can’t pronate, everyone out there is obsessed with extension, triple extension, and all I want to do with any lower limb injury with anyone is delay knee extension as long as possible” “Your pronation is done once that knee has started to straighten” “(Early) knee extension is putting the hip to end range very early, and gives the glute no room left to work” “The glutes work from internally rotated to externally rotated; if you want (functional) glutes, stop going from neutral” “There’s a mental block with people towards pronation” “I have no problem with squatting or anything in the gym, but as soon as it messes up your biomechanics, you’re done” “If you are squatting heavy, you don’t want to be pronating very much; you don’t want the knee coming miles inside, you want the bones stacked on top of each other. That’s not pushing the knees miles out, that’s just being neutral” “Gripping the ground with your toes it not a stable base, the head of your first metatarsal is off the floor” “Toes are just a brake…. Gary (Ward) says the toes are like the last line of defense” “People will be racing into the forefoot, and then their toes have to grip, they have no choice” “Gripping that toes is not an arch, that’s just a sagittal plane movement, and that is not anything that replicates what happens with the foot and gait” ...
It's Got Till Five time!!! This week's episode features a special interview with Gary Ward, promoter of Wrestle Gate Pro. Gary provides great insight into the origin of Wrestle Gate and where he hopes to take the promotion in the future. Then it's on to the main event, Jesse came up with this week's show concept, which regular listeners will know is like seeing a rainbow coloured unicorn shitting glitter. We look at a hidden gem of a PPV - Survivor Series 2003, a very lacklustre year for PPV's with a few delights sprinkled in and this is definitely one of the delights. Unfortunately, though it doesn't get the credit it deserves, we run through the whole show and finish with our Top Five favourite moments.

Maverick of anatomy and movement, Gary Ward, chats with The Fitness Industry Podcast's Alisha Smith about how fitting ski boots led to his journey of discovery into foot pronation and supination; his unique mapping of every single joint relationship and movement outcome in the human body, and how the slightest physical ‘insult' can leave a lasting legacy in terms of how we move.

It turns out that the way many of us have been thinking about the sources of pain in the body is wrong. Pain is not isolated in one just one place. It’s part of a complex system that is your anatomy where everything is connected. My guest, Gary Ward, has reshaped the way I assess and treat patients with his revolutionary approach. Gary, the creator of Anatomy in Motion, takes a unique and revelatory approach to understanding how the human body moves. Usually starting with the feet he connects all the parts to see how and why someone is experiencing chronic pain and then addresses the issue at its source. In doing so, Gary is helping educate people about their own bodies so that they can take charge of their own health. I use Anatomy in Motion every day in the clinic and it’s been amazing. It’s helped so many patients receive the relief they need without having to resort to surgery or other drastic measures. Gary and I talk about the ways people overlook sources of pain and the many amazing solutions he uses to fix them. When have you had pain in one place only to find it is due to something completely different? Tell me about it in the comments! In this episode: What a neutral foot is and how to understand the relationship between all the foot’s joints Finding your center by establishing good and repeatable habits The way in which muscles react to the actions of the joints and why this is a revolutionary way to view their relationship Why pronation of the foot is actually far less common than supination The role that old injuries play in creating lasting compensations and how to overcome them The many benefits of using corrective foot wedges Quotes: “There’s a huge difference between looking and seeing. A lot of people are looking at feet and they’re not really seeing the feet for what they can do.” [5:23] “If we move the skeleton, we can directly influence the tissue.” [20:04] “Pronation is evil, but actually the value you get from pronating is insane because you get to put all of your muscles to work and give them a job to do and that job is to pull the bones into supination. So you can’t pronate without supinating because the two are intrinsically connected.” [25:32] “Good shit is going to happen when you start putting back movement that’s been lost.” [44:54] Links: Win a copy of Gary’s book Gary’s book What The Foot Find Gary online at Finding Centre Follow Gary on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter George Monbiot’s Ted Talk “Doctor in the House” Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
Today’s episode features biomechanist Gary Ward, author of “What the Foot” and founder of “Anatomy in Motion”. Starting his interest in the foot as a ski-boot fitter, Gary is now known for solving unsolvable pain in minutes, not months. His passion for the foot hugely influenced his interpretation of human movement. He is increasingly sought after by all types of practitioners in the fitness and therapy industry, teaching an evolution that starts with the foot and results in whole body integrated movement solutions. One of the things that has drawn me to Gary’s work is his holistic assessment of human biomechanics. When it comes to becoming the best athlete one can be, it is important to have core rules of human movement by which we can define our programs and practices. I haven’t read a work where those rules are as clearly defined as “What the Foot”, and after learning from other great resources in the field such as the Postural Restoration Institute, and then the dynamic field work on Adarian Barr, Gary’s work makes good sense. Examples of such rules are things ilke “Joints act and muscles react”, and “Everything orbits around centre”. On today’s episode, Gary will go into his background, and how he began interest in the foot. He’ll talk about the big rules of movement, particularly how human position dictates muscle firing, and not the other way around. We’ll also talk about finding an athletes centre and what that means for training, as well as the importance of pronation in explosive human movement. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Gary’s background in the industry and how he gained an interest in the foot How working with the foot has such a profound impact on the rest of the body How and why to be in positions to give muscles more options in which to fire Eccentric vs. concentric muscle contractions in light of joint actions and biomechanics How to find an athletes joint centre and what that means for them Methods to allow an athlete to bring themselves back to centre The importance of pronation in human movement How to determine and teach a good pronation How to add exploration work to any isometric foot training Quotes: “The second big rule of motion: joints act and muscles react” “My brain doesn’t go to muscles anymore, muscles will do anything the joint asks of it” “Hip flexors, when they are problematic tend to be long and tight” “There are no bi-axial muscles that will lengthen and shorten at both ends” “You can shorten a muscle in one plane, lengthen it in another plane, and do nothing in a third plane…. each muscle has six possibilities, and muscles eventually make you mad, look at the joint” “In an eccentric movement, the fibers are contracting the same way as a concentric movement” “When we are moving away from centre, the muscles will wake up and move us back to centre, and that is a more pure way of looking at things” “Everyone’s joint centre is unique to them, if we want to find centre we need to invite the person to find it themselves” “We never get the opportunity to (enter the learning space) if we are constantly abducting knees with a band while squatting” “The foot is made of three structures, the rearfoot, the forefoot and the toes. Each piece is super important for flowing movement all the way up the chain” “Shapes of the foot are really important” “Pronation is a foot lengthening and foot widening” “We gotta be good at pronating in order to generate a supination response” “The key to good pronation is the tripod” “What’s really important is that the rearfoot is always working in a closed chain in opposition to the forefoot” “Human movement and strength training are two different realms” About Gary Ward

Dr. Gary Ward has been a family physician and GP for 30 years. Gary and his wife Claire live in Perth, Western Australia. Gary talks about how we disregard our biology; that somehow in our conceit and entitlement, we have come to think that we are above it. We sometimes forget that we are merely an organism in an environment. Gary also discusses our ancient brain and how we are programmed to respond to threats in the heat of some of life’s most important transactions.

We’re only a couple of episodes in to exploring the UK’s craft beer culture on this podcast, but already stories are beginning to emerge that I wouldn’t have heard if we’d never started. Not long after speaking to Beavertown’s Creative Director, Nick Dwyer, I was approached by his good friend, James Rylance of East London’s Redchurch Brewery. Rylance started telling me about his new brewing project at Redchurch. Redchurch just expanded out of its home in East London to a brand new production facility in Essex, just outside of the city. Making them the first of London’s new wave brewers to do so. Redchurch’s owner, Gary Ward, has handed over the previous facility to Rylance so he can devote time to creating interesting mixed fermentations and using herbs and fruit in some truly experimental beers. He’s dubbed the project “Urban Farmhouse.” Rylance himself has come a long way since he got into brewing while he was studying fine art. He cut his teeth at The Kernel before spending two years at Beavertown as they got up and running, which is where our story begins. I didn’t expect this conversation to take the twists and turns that it does. Rylance went on to tell me about how, after leaving Beavertown, he spent two months making wine in Burgundy. We also talk about the six acres of land where Redchurch will be growing their own fruit and herbs, and discuss the relevance that the term "farmhouse" has for a brewery underneath a railway arch in East London.

I’m talking with Gary Ward who is the founder of Anatomy in Motion, and the author of the book What the Foot?. He talks about how Anatomy in Motion is based on understanding how the body moves- or what the body does and when it does it, why change can happen in minutes instead of months, why Gary is not a fan of stretching, redefining “neutral” as “center”, how we need to learn how to have better posture in a subconscious way, what nobody-ever-moved-me-itis is, and of course, plenty about the feet as the gateway to appropriate movement everywhere else.
Gary Ward is the author of What the Foot?, and the creator of the Anatomy in Motion (AiM) courses and clinics. AiM is considered a “next generation” movement therapy technique, that enhances sports performance, prevents injuries and eliminates existing and often long term physical problems.

Former British Touring Car Championship ace Anthony Reid brought the house down at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed after recording the fastest time of the day. In a change from previous Festivals, this year's running saw more than 45 cars vie to take part in the top 20 ‘shoot-out' finale. David Tetley's fearsome ‘Stars 'n' Stripes' Opel Manta V8 kicked things off, recording a time of 57.34sec, the times tumbling until Rod Millen's Pikes Peak Toyota had an ‘off' following a grassy moment exiting Molecomb. The Kiwi emerged unscathed, and even managed a smile, but his ‘truck' had bent front suspension and bodywork damage. Following the restart, a psyched-up Reid blasted his Chevron GT3 racer up the hillclimb course in a staggering 46.46sec, the Scot reaching 131mph on his run. He narrowly edged out the favourite Gary Ward, who streaked up the hill in 46.80sec aboard his Leyton House-Judd CG901B Grand Prix car.
