Hmmm....So What IS a Reset? Plus a Freebie!
So what IS a reset?
You have likely heard me talking about resets as a tool in Pilates Movement Therapy. A reset is a short routine or even one movement that helps bring the body back into alignment. Resets help our brain and body find a more neutral place to live, which balances the loadings of our muscles and tissues. All of this helps set us up for ease in our body!
I like to use resets in a few ways.
One: As a warm-up to your movement practice so you’re starting out in a more optimal alignment.
Two: A daily or frequent ‘mini reset routine’ as a stand alone preventative routine to help us stay in alignment, or use to find better alignment on a regular basis.
Three: As a ‘shake it out’ when you’re in the middle of a tough exercise and it stops going perfectly- do a reset and start again. This can also apply when you’re doing a ‘life activity” like cooking or working and you get a quick pain or it stops feeling right. We’ve often just lost our best form and need a reset to find it again!
Resets work even better when they're selected specifically for what's going on with YOU by a movement professional like myself, but I have an arsenal of top resets that work for many people, helping them ease their low back pain, aide an achy shoulder, and/or feel lighter and more solid. And, you can try my favorite reset routine for FREE today!
