There are many great reasons to "Press Reset". Some quick bullet points:
But after you learn the basics of Breathing, Head and Neck Control, Rolling, Rocking Crawling/Cross Crawling, how do you make it specific to your movement restrictions?
This is why we perform movement screens on all patients at GYBTH. Our screens consist of a Toe Touch, Squat, Push Up and Bird Dog.
The Toe Touch is a great test for overall mobility in the lower back and hamstrings, plus it can help identify a hip problem versus a lower back/core limitation. When someone can't touch their toes it may mean:
• The rhythm of the lumbar spine and pelvis could be out of sync—the hips and pelvis should be the first part of flexion, and the spine should be the second part of flexion.
• They may not feel comfortable with the posterior weight shift required as the hips go back and the trunk comes forward.
• They may not be comfortable bending the lumbar spine along with the hips in a rhythmical fashion.
If you can't touch your toes, GYBTH recommends these "resets" to assist you in regain that basic fundamental ability.

If you’ve been at Got Your Back (GYB) on a Friday, you’ve likely seen this mother: she is fit, has long stunning hair and often has one, two, or maybe all five of her beautiful kids with her.
Actually, that’s not true; it should more accurately read "you are what you digest!" So, you can see how that old expression "you are what you eat," is only half of the truth. Which leads to the point of this month’s blog.
I can feel it. The confirmation is in the air, its the inspiration for all the smiles, the influence behind the light-hearted moods.
“I was deaf 17 years and I expected to always remain so, for I had doctored a great deal without any benefit. I had long ago made up my mind to not take any more ear treatments, for it did me no good.
