Why Tear Down Just to Build Up?

From leg braces at age two to a dance career: why proper prep work matters before you layer on exercise.

On my daily walk, my mind started swirling at the sight of the road being torn up before being repaired and resurfaced. I looked down at my feet — remembering how, so many years ago, I had to wear leg braces attached to saddle shoes to twist my legs out so I wouldn’t trip over my own toes as I learned to walk.

On this walk, 50-plus years later, I am grateful for those leg braces. And I’m very aware that we don’t get quality results doing the job halfway: just as I wouldn’t have had a successful dance career without first addressing the alignment issue, the road wouldn’t have a strong smooth surface without the proper prep and repair work before the finish layer.

So too for you: if you have chronic or recurring pain, it could be due to less-than-healthy alignment or movement patterns — and you are far less likely to succeed if you just pile exercise on top of misalignment. We need help to see where our unhealthy patterns are and fill in the gaps before layering on exercise — which is exactly what RECLAIM Your Body, Reclaim Your LIFE is designed to do.
