Movement is life.
Movement drives the skeletal muscle pump that helps return blood from the furthest reaches of the body.
Motion is life.
Motion helps equalize pressure around the joints, promoting comfort and improving joint function.
Mobilization is life.
Mobilization generates impact, changing laminar flows within the body to non-laminar flows which help prevent stasis of viscous fluids in pulmonary and circulatory paths.
Movement is life.
Movement allows us to reposition the body - moving the point of maximal pressure from one part of the body surface to another and maintaining healthy perfusion to all our tissue.
Motion is life.
Motion moves us from where we are to where we dream of being, turning yesterdays vision into todays reality and tomrorrows memories.
Mobility is life.
Mobility creates change in the curves and angles of the body, pleasing the eye, troubling the mind, raising us above the mundane and stretching creation before us.
Movement is life.
Movement carries us forward as we bury our past, casting anchors in the ocean of time, connecting us to our future.
Motion is life.
