Many times in life people have supported their arguments with the fact that all things revert to disorder. They support this claim with examples, such as: “bedrooms always go from clean to messy” or “dishes never wash themselves.” This statement seems incontestable, because we see examples of it in our everyday life. I believe that a different perspective needs to be taken on this topic. This universal assumption should be substituted with an alternative phrase, like “All things revert from order to NATURAL order. When bridges eventually fall, and tornadoes turn buildings into rubble, we finally see the true order of the universe. The elements of the building that man stole from the ground are going back home, back to the core of the earth to continue its cycle in the universe. Man hasn’t stopped trying to create it’s own order on this earth, but Mother Nature always wins in the end. Natural order seems destructive, but when we work in harmony with Mother Nature, we make the natural order of things work with us.

How does this relate to human movement? An infinite number of individuals live in pain and discomfort for a reason that is beyond their understanding. Sedentary lifestyles have been engrained in their brain since they were children, and they received gold starts for sitting down and shutting up in class. Media and technology become their sole source of excitement, when they go from their sit-down job only to sit on the couch and watch television. With this lifestyle, injuries will undoubtedly occur. That person will go to the doctor to get help, and the doctor will prescribe nothing more than the cause of the injury. REST. Ceasing movement, instead of identifying movement pattern dysfunction, and prescribing movement that will bring the body back to alignment with the universe.

This dysfunction in our lives stem from man made “solutions” that were designed to make life easier. Shoes, chairs, modified foods. These inventions unleash havoc within our bodies, causing unlimited amounts of disorder down the kinetic chain. The answers we give to our declining health are “I’m just getting old” or “bad knees run in my family” like our bodies were meant to self-destruct. The true reason for these problems is that our bodies are trying to communicate the fact that something is seriously wrong with the lifestyle we have undertaken. Our body is attempting to bring itself back into alignment by giving signals that something isn’t right. But we are NOT listening.

The only way to fix these issues is to live like humans were supposed to. Bringing the body peacefully back to alignment is to bring it back to TRUE order, and disrupt the patterns it’s been living in. The body was designed to move, so let it move. Let it play through end ranges of motion that haven’t been reached since school started at age 5. Remove the shoes, and let the 100+ muscles in the feet experience the stretch and squeeze it was designed to endure before humans caged them away. Bring the order in your life to the disorder it was meant to endure.
