Curious about the world of stretching and flexibility? Tune in to this podcast, featuring Kit Laughlin... Kit Laughlin is a leading authority on the subject of stretching and flexibility. He developed Stretch Therapy over the last 30 years and presents workshops across the globe in these techniques. He was awarded a Master of Letters degree by the Science Faculty of the Australian National University in Canberra and was granted an Australian Postgraduate Research Award for Ph....D. research, where back pain was the main case study. Highlights: How making an adult body flexible is completely different than making a child’s body flexible. How Kit Laughlin got into stretching and flexibility (as an adult). How your body will take on the shape (or postural signature) of exactly what you do with it for the majority of the day. How the mind and body occupy the same time and space and should not be viewed separately. The characteristic changes in the shape of the human body that comes from sitting for most of the day and being stressed. The meaning of postural signature. What sitting for most of the day does to your body. The lies you’re being told about stretching and flexibility. The best way to approach stretching and flexibility. Why gaining flexibility is far more difficult to achieve than aerobic training or strength training. How do you maintain a range of movement that you acquire. How frequently you should stretch. The best way to really make progress with flexibility. What most people need to be stretching. The most important range of movement (especially as you age) and why. What Kit discovered about people that have daily aches and pain (neck and back pain). What to look at if you have aches and pains in your body. How the acquisition of flexibility is profoundly different to any other physical attribute that you want to improve. http://anchorsofhealth.com/kit-laughlin-on-stretching-and-/

This article highlights the growing evidence that positive lifestyle shifts and more holistic, non invasive therapies are great alternatives.
