074: Treating Movement NOT Muscles w/ Shanté Cofield
Let’s face it, there is A LOT of information to navigate through when it comes to strategies and methods for improving health, maximizing performance, preventing injuries etc. Clearly, not all information coming at you is quality material and not all professionals in the health and wellness industries understand the complexities of the human body to the same extent.
There are professionals you will meet along your health journey who just “get it” and you know you must learn more from them. Shanté Cofield (aka The Movement Maestro) is one of those people for me.
In this interview, Shanté and I cover a ton of ground, including: using movement as a healing modality, the elements of a smart movement practice, tips for injury prevention, the difference between mobility & flexibility, cold water therapy, the power of breath and so much more.
Definitely, one of my all time favorite interviews to date. Not to be missed!
