Relieve Back Pain: Learn To Move From The Feet

The spine supports the body, but it takes messages from the feet. Limited mobility or neurological disconnection from the feet and ankles often leads to spinal imbalance. In other words, foot or ankle pain often contribute to back pain. By initiating full body movement from the feet, you stimulate the communication in the nerves between the feet and spine. Re-training the nerves encourages the muscles in the back and neck that are always "working" to relax, and engage the "sleeper" muscles for movement. This video may seem simple, but it can be the start to creating comfortable new movement patterns in the spine!

Thank you Megan for such beautiful and healthy practices.

[@MeganMacCarthy]

Thanks Cristi for practicing with me!

[@CherylHerrick]

Loved the quiet brain-twist of this!

[@MeganMacCarthy]

Trickier than you would think, right?! Thanks Cheryl 🙏

[@elli8438]

The movements were unfamiliar for me and my brain really had to work to understand what I am supposed to do. But it was fun and I had some good laughs throughout. I liked the foot massage especially, it felt really relaxing and was fun too. Thanks Megan for this fun and beneficial class!

[@MeganMacCarthy]

Thanks for the good honest feedback Elli. Some movements seem so simple to me until I try to do them…especially do them while filming. This one took focus for sure. Glad you liked the massage!

Thank you. I've recently been working with Medical Astrology and timing my practices to coincide, this came out at the perfect time as the moon is in Aquarius which rules ankles, shins, venous system and spinal nerves. Then later this morning moon moves into Pisces which rules feet, toes, lymphatic system and parasympathetic nervous system among others. 🙏🥰 Have a wonderful weekend Megan.

That is super amazing and interesting to know Lea. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I wonder what leads me to do the practices I do each week. Sounds like you are finding some answers 💚 🦶
