Bringing Healthy Touch & Movement Back Into Your Life | Ep 108
This is a special Podapalooza episode, featuring 2 guests!
Firstly, Dawn and I discuss the importance of touch, how it positively impacts our health when we get the touch we need, and also that our need for touch can vary from day to day and person to person. Dawn shares tips on removing the awkwardness of situations where the other person’s touch needs may not match yours, and instead using fun ways to give them a choice in how they want to be touched. Dawn wrote the book “The Touch Crisis: Navigating the Tricky Terrain of Bringing Healthy Touch Back to Our Culture, which is available on Amazon, and comes with a workbook, so you can learn more about this important subject.
Bobby and I then had a great conversation around strengthening and lengthening in order to prevent aches & pains. When we only strengthen, our muscles get shorter as they get stronger, and that then reduces the range of movement and can cause pain. Bobby has developed great tools that you can use at home, in the office, and even in your business attire several times a day to ensure you are lengthening your body and ultimately reducing pain! What you do to your body today, matters to your mobility later!
