Stiffness, schmiffness.  Tight, tense, overly worked muscles can recover quickly using the brain and body.

While it’s true that muscles get shorter overnight, we don’t have to live with muscle stiffness as a rule.

To change muscle stiffness to muscles which are relaxed throughout the body can happen with what is called somatics exercises.

Muscle stiffness and pain often go hand in hand.

It’s no fun waking up every day with stiff, tight, or tensed muscles.  Less fun when that tightness won’t go away.

You see, nature has set up a very elegant manner to deal with it effectively. In fact, Fido takes care of it in a way many of us haven’t imagined.

End muscle stiffness by not stretchingInstead of stretching, Fido has the good sense to contract shortened muscles.

When he releases them, his brain sends the message to the muscles to get them to relax and take out the overnight muscle stiffness.

This seemingly simple practice may help us with getting out of pain from those tight, overly stressed muscles which continue to agitate us.

While we’ve been told to stretch, there is another way to get the muscles to lengthen just like animals do.

Fortunately, this is what is at the heart of somatics exercises.

The very act that animals do – engages a part of the brain to remind not only the muscles of their function. The brain causes powerful chemicals of relaxation to be released.

How muscle stiffness can be alleviated.

Simply pandiculating with certain movement combinations turns on the brain’s cortex to change tension levels so stiffness melts away.  When you pandiculate

• muscle stiffness,
• the aches
• and the pains…

can go away by doing the animal thing in a lazy, conscious, simple way.

Let muscle stiffness be a thing of the past.

Come learn what we have from Fido. There is a systematic, yet fun, gentle, easy way to get the kinks out.

Animals do about 40-50 top secret moves everyday.

Good news is. We’ve got their system down to moving more easily so you can feel what life is like without all the stiffness.  Plus,  it works for any age since the brain is waiting to be accessed.

Join our online movement classes to end muscle stiffness for good.
