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

I mean, I feel like sport is the last place where people congregate, right? Sports, sidelines, this is the sort of, you know, lingua franca of the whole, you know, world. I've taught on every continent except Antarctica. Everyone knows what a push-up is. Everyone knows what a deadlift is. It's not science. Sorry. It's not math. That's not the universal language. It is bench press.

Everyone knows and everyone can tell you how much you bench in any language. So there are some things there that are universal. I think when we look at the human as a moving organism โ€“ then we can really start to not feel crazy about how our world is changing, but how do we fight back by setting up more opportunity to move more?

And for me, the whole lens ends up being like, we basically, we're trying to parse through complex problems. So I have a world champion who's injured, two-time world champion, isn't able to finish a tour. The first question I ask them is, tell me about your sleep. I'm a rough sleeper. Oh, tell me more about that, right?

Because I can't even tell your inputs and outputs unless we're getting into sleep. Then I say, well, tell me about your nutrition. I eat clean. Great, find that for me. I don't even know what that means, clean. Turns out under-caloried, under-nutrition, doesn't get enough macros, doesn't get enough micros. I'm like, oh, we start to correct that. We start to collect sleep.

When we really start to divide some of the behaviors into, for me, as a 51-year-old, I'm obsessed with my tissues not failing. Like tearing an Achilles is like every physical therapist's worst nightmare. And I jump rope every day and I have great range. I do so many isometrics. I'm just not going to tear my Achilles. Now I'm going to tear my Achilles, but I'm not going to tear my Achilles.

So tissue health is part of that. So now I have to look at nutrition. I have to look at my blood work and I have to look at my sleep. Right. So that I can really define some of those things as that creates a readiness, tissue tolerance, health. Then I can be looking at the other things. And that's really as we start to get, again, the framework of sport or framework of play changed.
