What Is Resilience?

Resilience is how well your body and mind adapt to and absorb stress, especially the unusual and unexpected.

Resilience is the ability to move confidently—any way you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want—without fear of debilitating injury.

Why Resilience Matters?

• Enhanced well-being physically and emotionally
• Confidence to engage in desired activities without fear
• Reduced severity of injuries when accidents occur
• Faster recovery when injuries do happen

What Diminishes Resilience?

Chronically tight muscles that remain contracted due to repeated reflexive responses to:

• Physical trauma (repetitive tasks, injuries, accidents, surgeries)
• Emotional trauma (past experiences, present stressors, or perceived future threats)

These contracted areas limit our available choices—both physical and emotional—thereby decreasing resilience.

How to Improve Resilience?

By releasing areas of restriction and discovering optimal balanced movement patterns, we improve flexibility, strength, and coordination—the foundations of mobility and lasting resilience.
