The Footwear Mistake That Locks Your Nervous System

When your feet can’t feel the ground appropriately, your brain loses its sense of safety and stability. In this video, I demonstrate how the '2D' terrain of flat floors and soft/minimalist shoes starves the somatosensory cortex of data, forcing the cerebellum to create extension tone just to keep you upright. This 'Nervous System Lock' doesn't just tighten your hips, it tends to alter your respiratory mechanics to more neck and lower back breathing, and thus influences your autonomic nervous system into a state of persistent state of fight-or-flight. Stretching your hip flexors isn't the solution in this case. You need to address the sensory limitation that is turning you into an obligatory neck-breather—because you can't find nervous system neutrality in an extended posture. https://pritrainer.com/in-person-trai... https://pritrainer.com/on-line-consul... https://pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-r...
