Reconnecting the body to its Movement - Episode 126 - Dominik Koch

weMove Podcast

Hey there and welcome to the weMove podcast .
The next episode in our exploration of the nervous system, this week Chris talks Dom Koch, one of the practitioners we have worked with for many years, about how the nervous system is the governing body for our movements, but when it feels unsafe or from past experiences, it might reduce the number of options available to the body.
The body is always giving you the truth, telling you where you are at. How we respond to that truth is crucial in moving forward.
Do you force yourself to move or do you let your body move into place? Allowing our bodies to move, the body will more likely move in the way you want it to. Forcing anything, never really works.
There is no right or wrong in movement but there are options, many of which might be forgotten, ignored, shut off from due to pain, memory, past experience
Your body will use what it has and deems safe, but it might not be the most efficient. If there is then pain then it creates limitations on how the body can move and in turn how we feel in space, in the environment around us.
Dom’s work is a mirror to remind the users body of movement options and in turn show the body that it has nothing to fear in how it moves and if it feels safe to do so.
Your body will move better when the nervous system feels safe, efficient and energy conserving to do that. He tries to get what is missing, much like the map in the brain that has been smudged and we can’t quite see the path forwards. His work reminds our brains of the paths the body can travel, opening us up to greater ranges of movement and awareness.
He’s a bit of a wizard in our opinion, whether you have long standing pain in movement, or just feel like life is not quite flowing, his skills might just be what is required to get movement and life on a forward path again.
Enjoy the pod, have a listen and remember to share it with someone you feel might get something from it.
