Individualized Functional Medicine

Where healthy movement, stability, balance and strength are the foundation of living well, happiness, performance and longevity.

At Simpatico, we believe preserving our function is easier than trying to regain it. It is true that aging comes with physiological changes, however, it does not sentence us to a life of debility. The loss of mobility, strength, and balance occurs so gradually that it is not until it all adds up to pain or debility that we pay attention. But what if we can detect these changes early? We can put a small fire out, instead of battling a forest fire. This year, we will showcase a fundamental movement pattern or position each month that we feel is critical to preservation of function. If you find yourself struggling with them, no sweat. The human body is amazing and can always improve. You just need a place to start.

ROLLING
This month’s movement is simple: rolling. The ability to perform this motion requires trunk mobility and control. Attempt to complete this motion without or as little assistance from the arms or legs. The less assistance you need from your limbs, the stronger and more stable the trunk.

Women over 65 who started strength training for the first time didn't just slow the decline of bone density — they actually increased it, according to a randomized study cited by Dr. Peter Attia. Attia says it's proof it's never too late to start.

YOU READ THAT RIGHT!

PRONE TO STAND SEQUENCE
This flow of movement stems from the developmental sequence in early childhood. It encompasses full body mobility and all body strength combined with balance to move from lying down to standing position. Because it requires so many factors, it can expose brewing limitations in our mobility, strength, and balance that we otherwise may not see on a day-to-day basis. The ability to preserve control over this motion reduces fall risk and ensures fall recovery capability.

JUMP (soft landing)
Jumping is fundamental in our ability to run, avoid obstacles, and balance recovery (fall prevention). It also stimulates bone regeneration, assisting in preservation of bone density. As adults, we often lose the playful spontaneity of jumping and lose the consistent stimulation from jumping activities. Consequently, we experience a gradual decline in strength, balance, and mobility before we realize the extent of the changes. So, jump, jump, jump around!

EXTENDED ARM HANG (dead hang)
This month’s movement brings us back to the playground. Extended arm hangs require us to hold our body weight using our upper body strength, especially our grip. Research shows that grip strength is linked with healthy aging and longevity. The mobility of the neck, shoulder, and thoracic spine, as well as body weight, are all factors that impact a person’s ability to hold this position. The preservation of this skill promotes strong grip strength, good upper body mobility, and healthy body weight. Optimal hang time varies by age and gender, but generally, the longer you can hold it, the better. So, the next time you see a playground, check out those monkey bars!

CONTROLLED STEP
The ability to control ascending and descending a step requires trunk stabilization to position our center of gravity over the ankle. It also requires activation of the hip muscles to maintain the knee in line with the hip and ankle to minimize rotational motion and uneven motion. While day to day household steps do not enlist this level of control and stability, especially when railings are used, the ability to perform this movement pattern with control ensures adequate lower quarter mobility, core stability, leg strength, coordination, and balance necessary for the preservation of function, as well as joint protection and injury prevention.

PELVIC TILTS
Pelvic tilts involve moving the pelvis slowly forward and back to move the lumbar spine (low back) from an extended and flexed position without using upper body movement. This slow controlled segmental motion gives us awareness and control over every degree of motion available within the low back. The ability to do this enables us to make subtle adjustments to our back position during activity to provide stability, as well as relieve pressure and tension for injury prevention.

Tom Kalka from Sarge Boot Camp Studio came to Simpatico after noticing some movement problems while teaching an exercise class. He doesn't have any pain, but wants to know why he can't move. Our Functional Movement Screen can find the hidden issues. Check out his session with us!

BOW (HIP HINGE)
A controlled bow involves keeping a stable trunk and flexing forward using the hip joint. This allows us to utilize the anterior (front) chain trunk muscles and posterior (back) chain trunk muscles together to stabilize the spine while using our larger leg muscles (gluts, hamstrings, quads, and calves) to assume the workload when performing tasks that involve bending forward. This protects the spine from excessive loads and torsional forces when lifting, squatting, crouching, and lunging.
