Ok, I admit, the title isn’t 100% truthful… I didn’t heal my chronic pain with Anatomy in Motion.
Rather, by studying my own body in motion using the AiM Flow Motion Model of gait, I received tools to engage in a life-long journey of optimizing movement, which has led to a gradual (sometimes painstakingly so…) liberating of my body from chronic pain.
Semantics aside, I am delighted to have been invited to speak with Anat Cohen, a yoga teacher and movement researcher in Israel, for her interview series, “How They Healed”. She asked me to share my story about how I got myself out of chronic pain and dance injuries, and specifically how Anatomy in Motion helped me.
Check out the interview here:
I found our conversation to be thoroughly enjoyable. Probably because I got to selfishly ramble on about my life and all sorts of nerdy and esoteric topics that are dear to my heart, like:
– How reframing our relationship with pain as a great teacher is a key part of healing
– How getting stronger is not necessarily going to cure pain
– How discovering and studying Anatomy in Motion was a game changer for understanding how to heal my body
– Why optimizing gait matters
– What my recent experience with foot pain is teaching me about myself in other areas of life beyond the biomechanics
– And why we need not to fear valgus knee and foot pronation
And more 🙂
Much of the work I share online, in my Liberated Body courses, my blogs and videos, on the Gram, are a dissemination of what I’ve experimented with, failed at, and learned from, in my journey of healing my own injuries and chronic symptoms.
My hope is that through my constant bumbling and failing through life, and movement, you may find some small insight into your own process of healing with movement.
