Hi everyone.
00:00:42.381 --> 00:00:49.926
Today we have the topic of how to transform painful movement into easy, comfortable movement, and our Barbara Anderson joins me.
00:00:49.926 --> 00:00:52.808
I'm going to read Barbara's bio and then we'll get right into it.
00:00:52.808 --> 00:01:04.093
Barbara is a movement specialist currently teaching online classes in yoga, beginning through advanced levels and the Belden Christ method of functional integration and awareness through movement.
00:01:04.093 --> 00:01:08.391
Teaching people to move better has been her passion and profession for 35 years.
00:01:08.391 --> 00:01:17.063
Whether it's big, active movement that builds fitness and strength, or slow, small, gentle movement that leads to increased body awareness and deep release, she loves it all.
00:01:17.063 --> 00:01:27.745
As a Belden Christ practitioner, barbara is partial to the profound effects that slow, small and gentle movement can have in leaving pain and improving performance.
00:01:27.745 --> 00:01:30.188
Her clientele is mainly women over 60.
00:01:30.188 --> 00:01:32.567
Together they move younger every year.
00:01:32.567 --> 00:01:33.643
Welcome, barbara.
00:01:33.643 --> 00:01:34.646
Thanks for coming on the show.
00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:37.105
Hi, I'm delighted to be here.
00:01:38.421 --> 00:01:42.450
And I love the end of your bio where it says together we move younger every year.
00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:44.147
That's awesome, that's a great line.
00:01:44.147 --> 00:01:52.180
So I'd love to know from you what does being able to move easily and comfortably mean to you To me.
00:01:52.522 --> 00:01:59.414
It may mean more than it would mean to somebody who's just getting into this, but let's see if I can put it in words that make sense.
00:01:59.414 --> 00:02:01.707
I want my shoulders comfortable.
00:02:01.707 --> 00:02:06.090
I want my arms to be able to swing easily with my legs when I walk.
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:09.868
I want my neck and my head to be able to turn easily.
00:02:09.868 --> 00:02:14.030
I want to easily get up and out of the chair down to the floor.
00:02:14.030 --> 00:02:16.608
These are like everyday functions.
00:02:16.608 --> 00:02:18.225
I want to be able to walk.
00:02:18.225 --> 00:02:19.365
I love to walk.
00:02:19.365 --> 00:02:20.866
I love doing yoga.
00:02:20.866 --> 00:02:35.429
There's not much movement I don't like, so I want to be able to do all of those things with a fluidity, with a natural fluidity, Maybe a little bit like a cat moves.
00:02:35.429 --> 00:02:38.250
That kind of I'm good, I want that.
00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:43.191
I love that and I do know from all age levels that sometimes doesn't happen.
00:02:43.191 --> 00:02:45.806
And I'd love to know how does non-movement start in women?
00:02:45.806 --> 00:02:51.550
Because I think when we're young we move and then as we age it stops.
00:02:51.550 --> 00:02:55.893
So what's been your experience when you talk to women about why they stopped moving?
00:02:57.576 --> 00:03:02.788
I think they get too busy really and it's just not a focus.
00:03:02.788 --> 00:03:23.467
But I think also there is a tendency in the way we now look at our bodies and look at movement that it's all outside If somebody else should fix this, if I have pain and I'm supposed to look good I think that's probably stage one and as it moves along it becomes oh, what happened to my neck?
00:03:23.467 --> 00:03:26.243
Oh, why can't I get up and down stairs?
00:03:26.243 --> 00:03:50.504
And again, I think that fluidity that comes from staying in touch with your movement and with your body gets lost when you're running and trying to do a million things and live up to some ideal of I'm supposed to look like this as opposed to oh, my neck doesn't feel good.
00:03:51.395 --> 00:03:59.663
I really enjoyed your guest that is talking about relationship, marriage counseling, and it's really so much like that.
00:03:59.663 --> 00:04:05.146
I was walking when I heard her talk and I thought it's like you lose touch.
00:04:05.146 --> 00:04:09.846
You didn't know you were supposed to have an internal relationship with your body.
00:04:09.846 --> 00:04:11.658
That would be something.
00:04:11.658 --> 00:04:26.966
That was two ways you could feel what you're doing and go ah, this is good, this isn't good, it just piles up over time and then it's almost like you need a marriage counseling to go over.
00:04:26.966 --> 00:04:27.687
What's the deal?
00:04:27.687 --> 00:04:30.540
Your shoulder's not happy, your neck's not happy.
00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:36.346
Let's start to bring a connection back, if that makes sense.
00:04:37.336 --> 00:04:38.442
Yeah, it certainly does.
00:04:38.442 --> 00:04:50.161
So I know you've been helping people for a long time, but has there been thoughts in your journey that you found it harder and you didn't realize that you were slipping and not moving with ease and comfort?
00:04:51.894 --> 00:04:53.281
I'll tell you how I got started.
00:04:53.281 --> 00:04:58.887
I started dancing when I was 26, which that's 20 years late, but I loved it.
00:04:58.887 --> 00:05:09.194
I loved it so much and early on I had a back spasm that led to cortisone shots and walking like a pretzel.
00:05:09.194 --> 00:05:21.464
And finally, someone who wanted to fuse my spine and put Harrington rods in my lower back and I was in graduate school in dance and it was like no, I don't think that's a good idea.
00:05:21.464 --> 00:05:28.406
And someone taught me a little bitty, tiny movement of the rocking my tailbone.
00:05:28.406 --> 00:05:50.916
That released that chronic tension in my lower back and I practiced that for about three months, 15 minutes a day, not that much, but I did and it changed how I stood and how I moved and so I never had a back problem in 40 years or something After that.
00:05:51.276 --> 00:06:03.026
I have great respect for the awareness part of movement and when something starts hurting, I think step one is to deny it often.
00:06:03.026 --> 00:06:04.375
But that's okay.
00:06:04.375 --> 00:06:25.346
And I did have some times because I ended up having not a back problem but need for a hip replacement, probably from bad instruction, because I was so mobile and I hadn't developed the support system to protect my hip in yoga.
00:06:25.346 --> 00:06:51.360
And anyway, it's a continuum where we all have a different relationship with our body and with pain, and a lot of people just don't know that there are things you can do for yourself that are soft and gentle and can retrain those places that are whatever you might call them stiff, stuck, inflexible, frozen, tense.
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.968
There are ways of dealing with this.
00:06:53.968 --> 00:06:59.939
That then becomes more of an internal relationship with your body.
00:07:00.105 --> 00:07:03.487
I like that you're talking about this because, right, and I even know for me.
00:07:03.487 --> 00:07:13.658
So I was a dancer and I had surgery on my hand and I don't know what correlation but I just stopped dance because I couldn't move the way I did when I was younger.
00:07:13.658 --> 00:07:19.485
And I know from that, as I've gotten older I have to be mindful about stretching.
00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:23.255
I know because I will feel my whole body tense up and I'm like what is this?
00:07:23.255 --> 00:07:28.653
And it's because of it, a lot during the day I have to frequently get up, stretch and lose.
00:07:28.653 --> 00:07:34.177
And so I know, for me I didn't realize it until probably two years later.
00:07:34.264 --> 00:07:35.932
I was like, why did you stop dancing?
00:07:35.932 --> 00:07:43.675
And it was because I just never felt like I got the movement back and it was a little stiff, but it just changed where my wrist could bend and that was it.
00:07:43.675 --> 00:07:46.612
And so I've always babied it more since then.
00:07:46.612 --> 00:07:50.095
But it's an interesting thing because you don't think anything of it.
00:07:50.095 --> 00:07:53.870
You're like, oh, the perfect, this little thing, and then it really can throw off.
00:07:53.870 --> 00:07:56.156
How do you feel about yourself in other areas?
00:07:56.156 --> 00:07:57.752
And I was young and I didn't know any better.
00:07:57.752 --> 00:07:59.130
Yeah, I didn't know any better.
00:07:59.211 --> 00:08:26.500
Either I just happened to walk into one lesson with one woman I don't even know her name and applied that, but I do think that happens a lot, that my knees aren't good, I'll just stop doing steps or and it does seem to somehow people get in their minds that it's one body part instead of how are we going to do this fluidly through the whole body?
00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:39.679
One of the phrases that I use is move like a kid again, and I honestly think people can move very well at very advanced ages.
00:08:42.046 --> 00:08:44.581
Which is very against what most people think.
00:08:44.581 --> 00:08:46.884
I know it's so funny.
00:08:46.884 --> 00:09:05.639
I have an uncle who was only 14 years older than me who used to say to be walking me in a wheelchair when I'm old, we have the expectation of what aging has to be that we're not going to be able to move, that you were supposed to slow down and live in this non-movement lives as we get older.
00:09:06.365 --> 00:09:32.876
Yeah, I guess I didn't get that or I ignored it one or the other, but I know a lot of my clients are quite afraid that they're going to have this same there in their 60s and 70s, but they're afraid that they're going to have the wheelchair and all of these things that they watch their parents go through, and I don't think it has to be like that and I think you can learn to move better really at any age.
00:09:32.876 --> 00:09:33.904
I didn't make that up.
00:09:33.904 --> 00:09:35.511
Well, shea Feldigray said that.
00:09:35.511 --> 00:09:45.894
He said as long as you have a nervous system which means you're not dead, you can learn, and you can learn in terms of movement.
00:09:45.894 --> 00:09:51.259
You can change and learn to move better, and I'm totally in for that.
00:09:53.106 --> 00:10:07.496
So I'd love to know for you what are the warning signs that someone, especially if you're an entrepreneur who sits a lot based on what you do that you could use more movement Because, as you were talking about, it seems like it's a symptom or a body part, but maybe it's more than that.
00:10:07.804 --> 00:10:08.326
It occurs to me.
00:10:08.326 --> 00:10:11.034
You can think in terms of the habit.
00:10:11.034 --> 00:10:14.634
The longer you repeat the habit, the stronger it is.
00:10:14.634 --> 00:10:22.850
So then suddenly it's not age, it's how many years you repeated the habit, which does not mean you can't learn, it's something better.
00:10:22.850 --> 00:10:28.756
But there is this kind of built in now where this is how we do things.
00:10:28.756 --> 00:10:30.369
You have to again.
00:10:30.369 --> 00:10:32.936
It goes back to having a relationship with your body.
00:10:33.625 --> 00:10:36.975
But what would be some of the early signs?
00:10:36.975 --> 00:10:48.633
I know a woman in her very early 40s and her neck and shoulders it's like I tell my boyfriend every day rubbed on it and it doesn't get better because someone rubs them.
00:10:48.633 --> 00:10:55.048
So that's an early sign right there, little pains that you're ignoring.
00:10:55.048 --> 00:11:00.399
That could very well need some attention.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.253
You get that early on in the pattern.
00:11:03.253 --> 00:11:07.836
You know, just like me with my lower back, I changed that pattern.
00:11:07.836 --> 00:11:12.095
I've had 40 years of comfort as opposed to getting worse.
00:11:13.184 --> 00:11:15.753
Other things breathing breathing is a big deal.
00:11:15.753 --> 00:11:30.087
Maybe now a lot of sitting with the head forward that's enough to that changes the upper back muscles so much and it works them so hard that they freeze up just to carry the weight of your head.
00:11:30.087 --> 00:11:36.917
So working with that relationship can really make a big difference over time.
00:11:36.917 --> 00:11:41.148
Don't set it in stone, we don't want that.
00:11:41.148 --> 00:11:44.293
But then you start to little things like.
00:11:44.293 --> 00:11:57.928
You start to notice that your jaw hurts a little bit and you think that's not a big deal, and maybe it's not, but it definitely relates to your neck, your shoulders and your breathing, for that matter.
00:11:57.928 --> 00:12:00.332
So what are the early signs?
00:12:00.332 --> 00:12:20.710
That's a really good question, because I honestly I hear from people in their 30s that are having like severe lower back pain and then they go out and lift 150 pounds and then they do really well, except then pretty soon the pain starts again and they're down for a couple of months.
00:12:20.710 --> 00:12:24.975
So that would occur to me to be an earthly thought right there.
00:12:24.975 --> 00:12:27.331
Yeah, that kind of thing I would say.
00:12:28.754 --> 00:12:29.797
Yeah, and I agree with you.
00:12:29.797 --> 00:12:41.874
I think that there is something and it does happen in our 30s that we start to ignore them or we think we're invincible and as we get older we go oh, that wasn't the greatest thing and that more profound the issue.
00:12:41.874 --> 00:12:47.346
And as you were talking, you said something and I was like oh, I've done that because I fit a lot.
00:12:47.346 --> 00:12:54.595
And I worked over my desk where I've had a jaw problem and I was like why can I not suddenly open my mouth?
00:12:54.595 --> 00:13:00.836
And I had to go to physiotherapy for months just trying to redo my jaw.
00:13:00.836 --> 00:13:08.370
And they said to me then you had to learn how to redo all of this so that your back, neck muscles aren't like that.
00:13:09.024 --> 00:13:11.592
And I went from oh, my jaw is cracking, that's weird.
00:13:11.592 --> 00:13:16.370
And then within a couple of weeks it was like oh, my jaw is not moving, I can hardly open it.
00:13:16.370 --> 00:13:24.394
And that's like, all right, maybe I need to go to the doctors because you'll bring some silly things that you just think that you're going to get over and not pay attention to.
00:13:24.394 --> 00:13:36.735
So for someone who does not move greatly actually for those entrepreneurs like me I had to really learn to get up and move and stretch and not fit for a long period of times like I used to.
00:13:36.735 --> 00:13:46.135
What's the first step to starting to do those stretches, without overdoing it too, because, as you said, you'll get better, you'll go with the 150 pound thing and then your back hurts again.
00:13:46.135 --> 00:13:53.852
So what's like for somebody who doesn't move regularly, what can be some first steps that they can take that will help start to ease them into it?
00:13:54.173 --> 00:13:55.466
Okay To answer that.
00:13:55.466 --> 00:14:00.356
I got to tell you what I think is the usual way people think about stretching.
00:14:00.356 --> 00:14:11.707
They think there's one muscle that they have to force to do something, and I don't use that word because that's the connotation.
00:14:11.707 --> 00:14:17.004
I'm going to make this different and I'm pretty sure that never works.
00:14:17.004 --> 00:14:24.380
I'm pretty sure, with the neck in particular, you do it and you do it, but does it really change?
00:14:24.380 --> 00:14:28.345
It just gets you by to the next day at best.
00:14:29.155 --> 00:14:41.304
So there's a relearning process that has to go on and the first step in that is to realize some of what you are doing, to become aware.
00:14:41.304 --> 00:14:58.715
And then to be in a situation like in the awareness movement classes is where I find it again and again that's the Fulton Christ classes that I have a different experience and over the hour there's more ease.
00:14:58.715 --> 00:15:06.945
I didn't know that was related and turning my head was related to my ribs, but now my ribs are moving and my neck feels better.
00:15:06.945 --> 00:15:25.984
So there's this way where it's not one muscle but it's the function of the whole, and there's a bunch of value in slowing down enough to feel that, because it's like we're all hyped up generally, especially when there starts to be discomfort in the body.
00:15:25.984 --> 00:15:29.524
I think usually most people want to push that away.
00:15:29.524 --> 00:15:36.621
Some people want to just milk it for all it's worth, but most people don't.
00:15:36.621 --> 00:15:37.618
They want to go.
00:15:37.618 --> 00:15:39.278
Oh, I don't feel that, I don't feel that.
00:15:39.695 --> 00:15:54.443
So I think step one is to feel it and then slow down enough to become deeply aware and to begin to move and feel and introduce more new experiences.
00:15:54.443 --> 00:16:04.821
And then, after you've done that lying on the ground or sometimes sitting then you start to notice in your everyday life it starts to be of value.
00:16:04.821 --> 00:16:06.780
Oh, what am I feeling?
00:16:06.780 --> 00:16:20.043
Because most of the time that conversation between the body and the active person it's not a good conversation, there's not two-sided listening, so some of it is restoring that.
00:16:20.043 --> 00:16:21.019
What am I feeling?
00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:26.063
Oh, I felt that how could I recreate a little bit of that?
00:16:26.063 --> 00:16:36.005
And then you stick with it over time and you do change the pattern and then you realize I could improve so many things.
00:16:36.005 --> 00:16:38.341
This could feel better and better.
00:16:38.341 --> 00:16:41.823
So I hope that answered your question.
00:16:41.823 --> 00:16:43.441
I got a little carried away there.
00:16:43.595 --> 00:16:47.363
Yeah, no, absolutely, absolutely, and I do think that's the first thing.
00:16:47.363 --> 00:16:50.846
It's like you have to admit that you might have an issue.
00:16:50.846 --> 00:16:58.740
That's always a good first step, because most people are in the ignore stage, especially women or, I think, a lot of times with us we just don't think we have time.
00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:00.779
I agree.
00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:06.142
Yeah, it's such a time issue, especially when our kids are young or we're new in our career.
00:17:06.142 --> 00:17:16.924
We just start to give to everybody else that we stop realizing that maybe I've stopped doing, that I could take care of myself, I'm going to be able to really take care of other things in my life.
00:17:17.134 --> 00:17:22.759
In the end you're going to pay for it 10 times over If you ignore it.
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:25.542
Is surgery not going to take time?
00:17:25.542 --> 00:17:27.878
But I understand.
00:17:27.878 --> 00:17:35.728
I raised a little boy and had a full-time business and a home and aging parents and all of that.
00:17:35.728 --> 00:17:37.863
But it's going to catch up with you.
00:17:37.863 --> 00:17:41.085
Sometimes it can be as much as 15 minutes a day.
00:17:41.085 --> 00:17:44.345
I think of mindful movement, meditation.
00:17:44.345 --> 00:17:46.721
It can be your meditation time.
00:17:46.903 --> 00:17:51.560
I love that, and I do think that it is about knowing you're worth enough to give yourself 15 minutes a day.
00:17:51.560 --> 00:17:53.441
It can be a really big deal.
00:17:53.441 --> 00:17:55.320
I think it's been a lovely conversation.
00:17:55.320 --> 00:17:59.441
I know you have a offer that you'd like to share with our audience.
00:17:59.622 --> 00:18:00.939
Yeah, it's been delightful.
00:18:00.939 --> 00:18:26.686
I do have an offer on my website, bodyansolkccom, and a little bit of information about what awareness-based movement is, and then I also have an offer of a free class there If you would like to come and try a yoga class or an awareness-driven class, and I have a couple of classes that are up on Thrive Cards.
00:18:26.686 --> 00:18:29.323
You can get them from Thrive Cards.
00:18:29.323 --> 00:18:31.182
I'll put that information in here.
00:18:31.182 --> 00:18:46.424
One is called the End of Kents and Herding Neck and Shoulders how to Relax and Enjoy your Shoulders in your Neck and then the other one is a live class on Zoom and it's called Happy, healthy Hips and Lower Back.
00:18:46.424 --> 00:18:48.201
That is very fun for me.
00:18:48.474 --> 00:18:51.084
Thank you so much, Barbara, for being with us today.
00:18:51.084 --> 00:18:52.398
