How to Improve Your Mobility, Posture & Flexibility | Dr. Kelly Starrett

Now the face of LFD. Low fiber density. So, you know, what I think we can do is let's establish some guidelines for people. Because this is one of the ways that we can feel better in our home without bourbon, without ibuprofen, without THC. Like, we need to give people some tools that don't, like, that aren't justβ€” Without having to buy a sauna, if you can afford one, great.

If everyone had a roller and a ball, there's a lot of dysfunction and discomfort we can manage. If you push on a tissue, we expect that tissue to be painless to compression or not uncomfortable to compression. Again, pain is a weird word. I don't want to set that up. But you shouldn't be uncomfortable to compression.

What's nice is that if I push on something, all I'm doing is just creating an isometric. It's just a vector isometric. Instead of pulling an isometric through the length of the tissue, I'm putting it at a different vector and angle. So that would just be one. I could start there. And if it was uncomfortable, well, guess what? Now I can get my nervous system involved.

So I can teach my brain that it's safe to create a contraction here. So what do I do? Just flex. Flex it. Hold it for four seconds.

If I find something that's uncomfortable or stiff or doesn't feel like my other side, I'm gonna stop. I found a place to work. I'm gonna build, take a big inhale. So I take a four second inhale. I want to teach myself that I need to be able to breathe in this position. One of my friends, Greg Cook, is like, if you can't breathe in a position, you don't own a position.

That sounds very Iyengar, too. But what we're going to do is we're going to say it's okay to breathe here, and I'm going to contract here. And then I'm going to slowly relax and soften. That's tempo. That's moving slowly. And I can handle higher loads. And what will end up happening is if I repeat that cycle two or three times, guess what? My brain desensitizes that. Changes range of motion.
