People under age 50 have been appearing increasingly at doctors’ offices in the past few decades, complaining of blood in their stool, abdominal trouble or unexplained weight loss.

Your nervous system is built for navigation.

As you walk, your sacrum moves with your pelvis through all three planes of motion, sending constant feedback to your brain about where you are in space.

More movement = more feedback.

More feedback = better awareness, balance, and stability.

Movement is medicine
