Archery sharpens your connection to your self. And over time you get to recalibrate into who you want to be. But first it is a process of being able to witness multiple aspects of reality at once.

"I was good. ⁣
⁣
Until yesterday when stress hit me and I feel stiff like a board. Yesterday pure stress disconnected me from my body. ⁣
⁣
"This was the first time I've ever noticed stres in my body. ⁣
⁣
"Most people, I don't think actually notice stress in their bodies.⁣
⁣
"After the session I feel brand new."⁣
⁣
Stress is sometimes a thing I ask people about. ⁣
⁣
To us in the healthcare field we can often see stress showing up in people's bodies, but you probably don't feel it or see it because it's part of your everyday experience. ⁣
⁣
With your current degree of awareness you probably don't feel stress impact you, unless you've been in a huge incident, then it's obvious internally that things are off.⁣
⁣
Imagine, when you're stressed it's not only your brain or emotions that perceive it⁣
⁣
but your body reacts too.⁣
⁣
Learning tools to down-regulate are really important. ⁣
⁣
What tools do you use?

Yesterday a client said, "You do catastrophe work."⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Definitely that is one thing that characterizes my work, but there's more. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
When people are having symptoms but tests, scans, and professionals aren't clear about what's going on⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
and they explain your issues with sophisticated medical language or from their specialized perspective even though⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
90-95% of the time pain issues aren't from serious medical problems,⁣ there's a disconnect. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You should easily be able to understand what's going on. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
You deserve an explanation in logical everyday language. You deserve trememdous clarity about pain and even performance.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
There's always a connection between our bodies and our lives.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
If you're ready and willing to commit to the idea that your power to change your life is greater than a pain pill's power, or a surgery (that has no strong basis for happening), or a therapy that makes you dependent on a healthcare practitioner to keep on fixing you, then I can almost guarantee that your progress will be transformative. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
If you've ever said something like, "I think I slept wrong last night."⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Yeah, your pillow or bed could be "the big catastrophe," ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
but if you miss all the little moments in life where your habits and patterns showed up, and you could see how the small, even imperceptible moments were the things that were actually depriving you of your freedom, ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
and yes, it so happened that your sleep position took you past your threshold, and outside of your comfort zone so⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
now you feel unbearable and persistent pain. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's usually not the avalanche but the tiny thing that brings it all down. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
If you make the commitment to work with me, the reality is you're making a commitment to working with yourself. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I'm here to help you with your functional imbalances and to show you how to begin your journey.

Not getting good sleep can severely affect quality of life. And if it's due to pain it can end up being a vicious cycle because poor sleep is known to increase the pain experience. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Sleep is the foundation of physical health, mental health, and performance. There's just no substitute for a quality night's sleep on a regular basis." - Andrew Huberman ⁣
⁣
If pain is keeping you awake do yourself a favor and change your situation. If you've seen different health practitioners yet you're still experiencing pain something may very well be overlooked. ⁣

Our brains will often normalize what's not normal. ⁣
⁣
And our brains can even be guilty of normalizing otherwise disturbing imbalances.⁣
⁣
A client first came in without really knowing what was wrong, but knew a lot needed to change. After only a few sessions here's what they said yesterday. ⁣
⁣
"Things are good. ⁣
⁣
"I used to feel like I was carrying around a dead leg, but now everything feels lighter. ⁣
⁣
"A lot of people on the courts have given me good feedback about looking a lot stronger these days."⁣
⁣
We and even those around us will often normalize things like heaviness, weakness, imbalance, etc. but when they're addressed it can be life changing. ⁣
⁣
Tension is like a slow smother. Like a slow strangle rather than a choke. So often we overlook the importance of adaptability and resilience, especially as our body-brain experience becomes more and more limited.⁣
⁣
Let your experience of life become different. ⁣

People who come in to see me riddled with pain are often or were in the past very athletic. ⁣
⁣
The biggest problem I see in athletics is that we're really not taught how to use our bodies other than to move for our particular sport. ⁣
⁣
So you take that structure, literally you mold your body into the shape of your sport and your body becomes your tool. ⁣
⁣
And because you get pretty good at that or you really enjoy it, you strengthen that posture. In other words, you get stuck in it. And it limits you. And if you've done it enough then you can become almost fragile.⁣
⁣
So something like a sneeze sets off excruciating pain. Or with time you literally become unable to move. ⁣
⁣
Sports and activities are really good for us, obviously. But, after bringing exercise into our lives we need to begin to learn to move with functional anatomy in mind.
⁣
This will give you better overall health, the bility to move, and better access to new movement. ⁣
⁣
Set up a quick chat if that sounds like something you're ready to do. Link below⁣

The holistic picture of history, movement, and patterns changes lives. ⁣
⁣
Today a man who could hardly walk when he came in said, Chris you gotta help me learn to run again. ⁣
⁣
He's been walking hills lately to really create pattern adaptation and he says, ⁣
⁣
I've even been jogging at the track with my kid. Even though I've been able to walk without pain for awhile now I've had a limp because of the tension in my hamstring but now it feels great. ⁣
