“If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, keep moving.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. THIS WORKSHOP IS RATED: FEEL BETTER Click Here For Methodology Click Here for The Why, How, and What of UpRight Movement Sometimes we all fall down- it’s just that simple. We all learn this when we’re young. No matter what your age or activity level- from babies to seniors- we all move through life knowing we will sometimes fall down. As babies falling is part of learning to walk- as kids, skinned knees are just part of growing up. As we age however, falling becomes both more common and more of a risk. Whether your focus is fall prevention, injury reduction, or even learning to stay stable while upright or fall safely in a martial-arts setting- the principles are the same, and UpRight Movement is here to help you with our new Fall Prevention workshop. UpRight Movement takes a reverse engineering approach to falls. We help you to establish controlled spinal stability and hip/shoulder mobility, which provides a healthy foundational base. This “Back to Basics” approach allows us to safely advance to more complex movements and eventually walking. Remember the way that movement evolves in infants. They move on their backs until one day this action allows them to roll over, initializing the hip crossover movement. Soon they progress to crawling, standing and, finally, walking. With each step, they realize how to stabilize their bodies. Aging reverses that process. Many people lose the ability to squat and maintain their...

“First move well, then move often.” Gray Cook, Functional Movement Systems The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is one of the filters that UpRight Movement uses during its Intake. The information from the FMS provides us with an accurate picture of your movement and injury vulnerability. Based on the information gathered during the Intake Session we can identify areas of opportunity for improvement and help to establish training routines that support you in feeling, moving, and performing better. FMS is the product of an exercise philosophy known as Functional Movement Systems. This exercise philosophy and corresponding set of resources is based on sound science, years of innovation, and current research. How it Works – Simplifying Movement Put simply, the FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patterns that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. Exercise professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and to identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual. What it Does – Widespread Benefits The FMS simplifies the concept of movement and its impact on the body. Its streamlined system has benefits for everyone involved – individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians. Communication – The FMS utilizes simple language, making...

“Food is far more than fuel; it’s a language that programs every function of your cells.” Catherine Shanahan, MD, Deep Nutrition Food is a source of vital information created by the earth that comes from the earth. In the field of Nutritional Genomics, researchers believe that food speaks to the genes by providing information to assist with gene expression. The chemistry of every cell in your body is expecting nutritional information and has the biology that can transform that information into the living, breathing, moving tissue that is your body. I recently listened to an interview with Dr. Cate Shanahan who works as a sports nutritionist with the LA Lakers, about her book “Deep Nutrition.” Dr. Shanahan suggested that asking yourself these 5 questions can help you make more optimal food choices and experience greater vitality. Here’s an example of foods from the 5 questions, and some of what the Lakers have been eating lately. 5 Question Food/Ingredient Test Source: Where does the food come from? Can you actually envision the landscape? Is it one of beauty, like rolling fields or the peaceful tranquil ocean? Or is it one of industrial post-apocalyptic despair, like what I-5 can look like here in California when you’re driving through that feedlot section? Tradition: Is there a tradition behind its use? Has this food been used by traditional societies? A classic example is olive oil. There’s olive oil in Italy and Greece going back thousands and thousands of years*. Wholeness: So when the answer to “Is there a tradition behind its use?” is either “No,” or “I really don’t know,” then the...

“Good broth will resurrect the dead,” says a South American proverb. BONE BROTH WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BONE BROTH? Broth is considered to be both a food and a medicine! It’s known to heal the skin, gut, GI tract, aid in digestion and even help you beat that cold you’ve been suffering from. Because broth is an extract of connective tissue, it is great for ailments affecting, joints, bones, lungs, muscle tissue and blood. Incorporating bone broth into your established eating patterns can yield tremendous medicinal effects. A cup a day keeps the doctor away! “Stock contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken down material from cartilage and tendons–stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain.” Sally Fallon, westonaprice.org. For those of you who would like the health benefits of broth without having to prepare it, there are alternatives: you can order directly and have it delivered by Pete’s Paleo and The Brothery. You can also make Bone Broth Tea, a type of “quick broth” that requires no cooking, using Great Lakes Gelatin. Here’s a recipe for Bone Broth Tea using Great Lakes Gelatin: 1 – 2 Tablespoons Gelatin powder dissolved in an equal amount of room temperature water, Add 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Coconut oil and a Ginger or Peppermint teabag (fresh ginger or peppermint leaves may also be used) Pour 1 cup boiling water over the top and steep 5 minutes, or until cool enough to consume. Drink a cup of Bone Broth...

The hallmark of our species is walking upright on two legs- bipedalism. Getting up and down from the ground is an example of a “squat pattern”, which is the precursor to walking. When we start losing function within our bodies, it has an impact on the whole system. To see how you may be doing with your fitness, consider The Sit-Rising Test illustrated below. The research behind this test indicates that health is interdependent with functional fitness. The Sit-Rising Test was developed by Brazilian physician Claudio Gil Araujo and his colleagues of Brazil’s Gamo Filho University. When patients optimized their functional fitness with appropriate exercise and then retested, their scores improved, as did their overall health. Every additional point increase a patient had on the Sit-Rising Test correlated with a 21 percent DECREASE in mortality from all causes. The message Dr. Claudio Gil Araujo is trying to get across to people is the importance of getting and staying in shape. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you’ve got to build muscle, work on maintaining balance and MOVE. The Sit-Rising Test also provides valuable information on areas where you have room for improvement, such as mobility, stability, functional symmetry or total body strength. If you would like some guidance with improving your overall body function, UpRight Movement is a Force Multiplier and has the knowledge, the tools, and the dedication to support you in Feeling, Moving, and Performing Better for Life....
