Dr. Amy Banter, Doug Anderson, and Eric Banter welcome back Erin Smith to talk about functional movement. Functional movement is movement that helps us to stay healthy and injury free. The group talks about the importance of stretching to maintain functional movement. Erin Smith with Flourish Yoga and Wellbeing highlights that they have a yoga practice for everyone.
Dr. Amy mentions that movements of the spin are vital to our health and the we all must be intentional in moving the spin often. She shares that movement and stretching typically help the body to release anti inflammatory and lubricating chemicals for our joints.
The group discusses how important it is for high school kids to stretch. It also produces a competitive edge in sports, since power equals length times distance, or that a long strong muscle produces the most power.
A simple way to look at functional movement is to either, "move it or lose it".
