Reclaim Your Birthright as a Pain-Free Mover
Primal Movement is a transformative approach to reclaiming your innate ability to move freely and without pain. Through simple yet nuanced exercises, you'll learn to rewire and reground your nervous system. This method focuses on strengthening often-neglected muscle groups like the glutes, hamstrings, and spinal erectors—areas that commonly atrophy due to poor posture resulting from modern lifestyles.
These movements are inspired by developmental patterns and are often performed on the ground. Reconnecting with the ground is essential before progressing to standing exercises. Just as crawling is a precursor to walking and running, Primal Movement teaches you to reestablish this foundation for better movement.
In Primal Movement, the feet are considered the foundation of the body. Realigning and reforming your foot arches is crucial for absorbing ground forces more efficiently during walking or running. If your feet are not strong and properly aligned, it’s like trying to build a third story on a house with a crumbling foundation. Primal Movement focuses heavily on foot strength and alignment to ensure a solid base for all other movements.
After more than 10 years of exploring different ways to optimize movement, I discovered the Primal Movement system. It was a revelation that filled a significant gap in my work. I moved away from yoga and Pilates and began training exclusively with Primal Movements. The results were incredible - pain areas started to unlock, and my body became more fluid and athletic.
Primal Movement Exercise: This essential move is one I teach regularly to help decompress the spine and hips, while also improving foot alignment and strength. It’s designed to help you engage your glutes and hamstrings, release tension in your hip flexors, and build the pressure needed for more dynamic, powerful movement. Incorporating this primal movement into your workout routine will transform your strength and mobility.

Primal Movement is about finding the right pressure and tension in specific muscle groups, which can look different on each body. Working with a skilled coach is crucial to advancing quickly and avoiding common pitfalls. Many people struggle to find the proper positions and range of motion on their own, but with just a few sessions, I am confident I can help you discover these movements and enhance your overall well-being.
