Pieter's levensmotto is 'Movement is life'. Bewegen is leven maar ook leven is bewegen.

Kinesist, Docent en beweeg coach.

In deze leuke babbel hebben we oa over:

• Buiten spelen en bomen klimmen

• Hedendaagse klachten binnen de fysiotherapie en de evolutie van de laatste 15 jaar

• Het belang van beweging op jonge leeftijd

• Natuurlijk bewegen, van jager-verzamelaar tot nu

• Bewegen als vorm van expressie

• Spiegelneuronen en andere oeroude mechanismen

• Zoals elke aflevering sluiten we af met praktische, bruikbare tips om zo onze tijd op deze mooie aardbol een klein stukje aangenamer te maken.

For the first episode of 'Motivated by Movement', my guest is Jerôme Rattoni whom I met for the first time during our Level II Movnat certification in Houston Texas back in 2015. Today Jerôme is a Movnat team instructor responsible for Europe and he runs Scarabs training in Hungary.

“Think with your whole body, Move with your whole mind” - This is the Movnat philosophy and this is what brought me and 20 others to Hohe Wand, Austria for the Level 3 Movnat course.

The first thing I noticed was that despite the 15 nationalities, we all spoke the same language. We all spoke the language of movement! Find out more detail and check out the video to see what we really got up to : )

This is a short version of a daily posture check you can do. Use this video to get started so that you can then do the steps by yourself in 8 seconds. Ideally to do in the morning while waiting for the kettle to boil, standing in a queue, taking a screen break or even when you're on the phone. 

 Make this your 8 second daily mantra to reset your posture to neutral.

Are you sitting comfortably? Maybe just a little too comfortably? Did you know that your body adapts to the things we do most? No wonder we are all olympic sitters! : )  

Aim to change your sitting position throughout the day - at least every 30 minutes. You can even set a timer to remind you. It doesn't matter which position you choose - a chair, a swiss ball, standing - it's the variation that is the key. 

Our feet evolved over millions of years to be the best locomotion technology for our bodies. Being barefoot lets the feet use all of its complex parts. Strong, healthy feet are all we need to move effectively and efficiently. Anything that we put it in alters the foot function in one way or another. Support is unnecessary unless one is unluckily born with bad anatomy. Putting good feet in unnecessary support weakens them. The solution is simple and it’s here.
